For a peaceful escape from the Marrakesh bustle, it's hard to fault this environmentally minded retreat. Rooms boast a warm Berber design, and the lounge is a fine place for a meal or to curl up with a good book. You can also relax in the hammam (Dh50 per person) lounge by the pool, hire mountain bikes or take scenic walks in the surrounding countryside.
