Toubkal National Park
This family-run guesthouse is something of an oasis from the tourism bustle in Asni and Imlil. The welcome is warm, rooms are stylish and there's lots of common space for easy relaxing. The included breakfast is phenomenal – particularly when taken on the first-floor terrace as the sun rises over the mountains on the far horizon.
It's about 2km south of Asni on the road to Imlil.
