Kasbah Bab Ourika

In the foothills of the Atlas Mountains at the apex of the lush, beautiful Ourika Valley, this earth-coloured retreat blends into its dramatic surroundings. Berber villages are visible in the distance and olive groves, rose bushes and lemon trees populate relaxing gardens that provide fresh produce for the kitchen. Hills roll up to the snow-capped peaks, and deck chairs at the pool are perfectly positioned to take in the vistas. Most of the 15 rooms and suites have private balconies as well. Decorated by Romain Michel-ménière, they come with unique craft items: leather bed heads, bright fabrics, outdoor day beds, comfortable chairs and oversized cushions. Imagine sipping herbal tea on the terrace as the sun sets across the mountains and the stars come to life, followed by fresh seasonal delicacies served by candlelight. KASBAHBABOURIKA.COM
