Best hotels in Skoura and surrounds

Veiled from the world by swathes of palms and miles of dunes, Dar Ahlam is a 200-year-old kasbah, which was brought back to life in order for the owner to live his dream of sharing the 'old' Morocco with guests. A well-hidden getaway between the Sahara and snowy mountain peaks, the hotel centres every day around you. Meals take place wherever you'd like: breakfast in the Berber ruins, lunch beside tranquil Ouarzazate Lake, or dinner in the candlelit gardens. With its high turrets of champagne-coloured earth, dreamy suites and views of the far-away Atlas Mountains, it's easy to see why Dar Ahlam means 'House of Dreams'...

Take a journey into the wilds of Morocco, passing ancient kasbahs, olive groves and tiny Berber villages, until you reach Les Jardins De Skoura. Nestled in the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains, the hotel is surrounded by sprawling gardens of sunflowers and bright and beautiful apricot and pomegranate trees. Time is at its leisure here, with slow mornings spent dining on fluffy Moroccan pancakes topped with jam from the orchard, and dozing in a shaded hammock. Your afternoons might feature wandering walks through the palmeraie, horseriding across the epic landscape, or simply doing as little as possible beside the pool...

The property's commitment to sustainability and cultural preservation makes it a haven for those seeking an immersive, authentic Moroccan experience.
