    This was probably the most unexpected experience of all the accommodations and hotels we stayed in in Morocco. A small hideaway run by an admirable lady and her staff. Dinner was freshly cooked, nothing pre-made or reheated. We will definitely be...

Company information

After a very serious illness, all my life has changed. Following my inner voice I moved to Spain, then to Morocco. Here in the desert and in the oasis I found beauty and silence.This is relaxing and healing. I would like to share it with you.

Property information

The property is an oasis in the desert. When you are inside it is all green with a lot of different trees, bushes, plants, flowers, vegetables. When you go out, you are in the desert. Everybody can find his/her special place in the garden ton relax: a desert terasse with the view of the dunes, a hammok for 2 in between palm trees, comfortable chairs under a mimosa on a green, a litte pool terasse surrounded and covered by tree high oleander, .... In the meditation room, every morning before breakfast meditation is offered for free. The main house is a traditional desert house, built with pisée and totally restaurated. Each room is different, tastefully and comfortabally decorated. For people who rest longer, there is a library, games and a television with lots of different videos.

Neighbourhood information

The property is located at the end of the oasis of Bouneau. The garden door opens to the sand dunes of the North Sahara. You can walk for hours into the desert. You may take a carpet and have your tea on a dune and see the sunset. We can organize camel excursions for you with one or more nights in the desert or, if you prefer to discover the desert in a Jeep, this is also possible. Very intersting is the visit of the ancient kasbahs of Bouneau, Ouled Driss and M'Hamid as wellk as the "souk des femmes" and the souk in Tagounite on thursdays.
