Jnane Tamsna

Throughout the property there are cushioned and carpeted lounges set up to enjoy a cup of mint tea or a night cap. Hidden amongst the trees, the pool is a lovely, secluded spot to enjoy a dip or a new read from the library. Inspired by Morocco's rich culinary past and modern Mediterranean cuisine, Jnane Tamsna's meals feature sun-ripened vegetables and herbs from the organic garden - try the spicy Andalou gazpacho, you won't be sorry. For an especially memorable evening, enjoy your dinner under the stars.

There are 24 rooms spread across the main house and a collection of peachy villas, each boasting their own heated saltwater pools, whimsical decor, and a lovely, shaded terrace. The rooms are furnished with large beds and North African textiles, while the bathrooms are resplendent in sunny tadelakt and copper sinks. The largest rooms are the Pavilion Suites, which also have a sitting room, an outdoor dining area, and share a glittering pool.

There's a bundle of activities to enjoy without leaving the hotel, from cooking classes with the world-renowned chef, tennis, and browsing Meryanne's on-site studio. When you're ready for a little more action, cycle through Palmeraie, go for a camel ride amongst the date palms, or enjoy a sunset dinner in the desert. Just 20 minutes away, the dazzling streets and relics of the Medina beckon, where you'll peruse fine textiles in the souk and discover the city's ancient history.
