Morocco Hotel Selection

Morocco RiadWe use riads wherever possible, old townhouses surrounding courtyard gardens, which have been sensitively converted into small guesthouses and are evocative of a less hurried age. Most are 18th or 19th century Medina townhouses, so very centrally located, and have exquisite stucco and tile work. Many have roof terraces and some even have a plunge pool.

 

 

Ecoprojects
KASBAH DU TOUBKAL
 Base yourself at the Kasbah du Toubkal, a mountain retreat and eco-lodge and once the home of a feudal caid (chief). Just 60km from Marrakech you can take day treks from the kasbah, discover the local village or just enjoy the views of Jbel Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa. The kasbah is run in partnership with the local Berber people and the work to restore the kasbah used traditional techniques and local materials which were brought in by mule.
