The brothers chose the name Eden—the original garden of Paradise—precisely because it evokes the essence of the hotel and its location.


There, travellers find the warmest welcome, perfect peace, and the chance to unwind in a magical world; a true retreat. At the same time, the hotel provides a connection with the natural majesty of the High Atlas mountains and promises adventure in safe hands through the various experiences offered.


Eden was constructed in keeping with Morocco’s forward-looking policies for greening the environment and a steadfast commitment to supporting the local community. A dedicated local staff transferred from a previous establishment to form the heart of Eden’s 28-strong team, ensuring outstanding service. With the head chef also moving to the new property, a refined fusion of Moroccan and European flavors graces the table—a menu elevated far above the everyday tagine and couscous.


From the property’s own gardens to the breathtaking mountain views, magnificent pools, and luxurious hammam, every detail is infused with a passion for bringing modern comfort and authentic Moroccan style together for every guest. Travelers are invited on a journey to the heart of the High Atlas.
