Feast among the flowers at Auberge Chez Ali's lovely garden restaurant, brimming with vibrant bougainvillea and rustling palms – or in a cosy salon on cooler days. The menu is short but perfectly formed, and with fresh dishes like Ali's Garden Salad and seven-vegetable couscous, it's perfect for vegetarians. For Dh50 you can take a dip in the tempting pool.
