Morocco Luxury Experience
Discover the most seductive and cinematic country in Africa, the labyrinthine medinas of Marrakech and Fez, the rose-red dunes of the Sahara, the snow-capped Atlas Mountains, and the blue-washed village of Chefchaouen. Morocco is a sensory feast of colour, sound, fragrance, and extraordinary architecture.
The Africa Experience
Morocco is Africa's most visited country, and still one of the world's most surprising destinations. Nowhere else offers such intense sensory richness: the call to prayer echoing across the medina of Fez at dawn, the scent of cumin and rose water in a spice market, the silence of a Saharan dune-field at night, and the hammered copper lantern-light of a riad courtyard after dark.
Morocco's luxury accommodation scene has undergone a profound transformation in the past decade. The traditional riad, a historic medina house built around a central courtyard, has become one of the world's most distinctive hotel typologies: intimate, architecturally extraordinary, and deeply connected to the life of the medina beyond its walls.
Accommodation Styles
Choose your sanctuary in paradise
Marrakech Riads
Historic medina houses converted into intimate boutique hotels, La Mamounia's palatial gardens, El Fenn's art-filled courtyard, and Riad Enija's carved cedar ceilings. Privacy, craftsmanship, and deep Moroccan character in the heart of the medina.
Sahara Luxury Tented Camps
Erg Chebbi's finest camps, Scarabeo and Le Grand Bivouac, offer desert luxury at its most evocative: private furnished tents with ensuite bathrooms, curated Berber dining under the stars, and camel treks to sunrise dune crests.
Atlas Mountain Kasbah Hotels
Historic kasbahs converted into boutique retreats in the Ourika and Aït Benhaddou valleys, mud-brick architecture, Berber textiles, terrace views of the High Atlas, and farm-to-table Moroccan cuisine.
Signature Experiences
Moments that define your Africa journey
Fez Medina Private Walk
Navigate the 9,000 streets of the world's largest living medieval city with a private local guide, tanneries, Quranic schools, and souks unchanged for a thousand years, best experienced on foot before the heat of the day.
Sahara Sunrise & Camel Trek
Rise before dawn to climb the dunes of Erg Chebbi by camel, reaching the crest as the Sahara catches its first light, the silence broken only by wind across an ocean of sand that extends to Algeria.
Hammam Ritual
A traditional Moroccan hammam, black soap exfoliation, kessa glove scrub, and rhassoul clay mask, in an authentic medina bathhouse or a luxury riad's private hammam suite. One of the world's great therapeutic bathing traditions.

Watch the first light fall on the UNESCO-listed ksar of Aït Benhaddou, the extraordinary mud-brick citadel used as a filming location for Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, and Game of Thrones.

Trek from the Ourika Valley into the High Atlas with a Berber mountain guide, visiting traditional Amazigh villages, waterfalls, and saffron fields, with a tajine lunch prepared by a local family.

La Mamounia Spa
One of Africa's most celebrated hotel spas, the 2,500m² spa at La Mamounia in Marrakech incorporates an immense hammam, thermal circuit, and a full menu of Oriental beauty rituals using rose water, argan oil, and black soap.
