Dreamt up by a connoisseur of luxury desert camps, every detail at Inara is immaculately executed, from the desert-chic decor to private, candlelit dining tents, and a fabulous array of adventurous activities. Whether you're trundling along in a dune buggy or swaying camelback across the rocky landscape, starkly beautiful views occupy every direction - and it's more than worth an early wake-up to catch the sunrise, slowly illuminating the distant Atlas Mountains. The camp truly checks every box for an idyllic escape to the Agafay Desert, and our top tip is to simply soak in the atmosphere over a cup of mint tea.

There are 18 tented suites, all draped in sand-coloured canvas and varying in size and style. All boast a King-size bed, cosy, woven rugs and a bathroom equipped with hot water and orange blossom amenities by Les Sens de Marrakech. The decor is down-to-earth and most items are sourced from local artisans, as well as vintage trunks and lots of bare-wood furnishings. The Emotion tents and Inara Suites have an air cooler, and the latter can accommodate up to four people. Each tent opens onto a private deck, from which you'll enjoy a striking view.
It has to be the gorgeous 'desert lagoon', an eco-designed pool that blends into a small beach.
The Explorer Tents can be booked exclusively for larger groups, and although they are simpler in design, you'll have a private dining area and access to the infinity pool.
Many activities at Inara come at an extra cost so be sure to factor that into your budget - and that includes the second infinity pool.
