Accomodation
Marrakech – Old town houses (riads)
Dotted around the celebrated central plaza, Marrakech’s riads are traditional residences built around large, airy courtyards and decorated with traditional Moroccan tiling, ornate furniture and hand-made fittings. We stay at a selection of these delightful former merchants’ homes, often kitted out with a tinkling central fountains and spacious roof terraces - ideal spaces to relax and enjoy a mint tea whilst enjoying views over the rooftops of the old city.

Essaoueira
In 1968 Jimi Hendrix – escaping newfound fame – came to Morocco to relieve the pressures of stardom. We follow in his footsteps, visiting some of the riads that Hendrix stayed in throughout the 60s. Dating from the 19th century these feature intricate tile and mosaic work surrounding their central fountain. Beyond Moorish arches lie sitting areas and restaurants; the sophisticated yet bohemian atmosphere of these stunning has also attracted famous guests such as Tennessee Williams and Leonard Cohen

Sidi Kaouki
Set in rolling green hills, Sidi Kaouki is a tiny settlement set in gloriously isolated countryside. Positioned above a pristine beach it is a favourite for windsurfers and surfers alike. Quiet and isolated, it's also perfect for yoga practice. Our hotel looks over a landscape of wild olive groves in which camels graze and shepherds herd their goat flocks. As well as a swimming pool there's the opportunity to try windsurfing, surfing, horse-riding and delicious Moroccan food and teas.
