Palmeraie Guesthouse

Top choice in Todra Gorge


Just inside the palmeraie (palm grove), this delightful guesthouse has a series of pretty terraces draped with flowering vines and attractive rooms set with Berber carpets, vintage travel posters and original artwork. Rachid and Doreen give a warm welcome, and this is a great base for exploring the palmeraie – ask to take Jack the donkey for a stroll.

You can also take longer promenades to the gorge (a scenic 7km walk). When coming from Tinerhir, park right next to the sign and take the steps down to the guesthouse.
