Sitting on the scalloped, red ridges of the Ourika Valley, the Kasbah Bab Ourika is blessed from breathtaking views everywhere you turn - the everchanging hues of the Salt Natural Park to the east, the lush terraces of olives and citrus trees to the west, and the snowy Atlas Mountains before you. Tres magnifique, no? In the blissful silence, you'll feel transported to somewhere quite magical, where the Morocco heat softens, the sunsets are exquisite and every room reflects the timeless Berber traditions. The sienna walls are made with rammed earth, the ceilings from palm trunks and the traditional meurtriere-style windows let in the view at every chance.

Designed with the uncluttered warmth of a Berber home, the rooms have a neutral palette with fluffy, cream rugs, ornate wooden doors, and (in most) tadelakt fireplaces. All are dotted across the property, ranging from the main towers in the kasbah to the gardens. Furnished with upholstered leather headboards, vintage Moroccan carpets and repurposed Berber trunks, some suites have a private pool (heated to 28° year-round) and others have a private, tropical dining area. With a view of the entire valley, the private villa comes with an open kitchen, sliding 'star' roof and a jet-black infinity pool.
The Berber traditions at the heart of it all - and the million dollar vistas!
If you're here for the hiking, the kasbah has their own superb guides, and trails begin right next to the hotel.
Kasbah Bab Ourika is 900 metres above sea level, meaning it gets much cooler than Marrakesh - pack accordingly!
