Dar Hi (rhymes with 'tee') is an unusual concept for a town like Nefta. Think concrete brutalism meet Ikea store – an unusual pitch for somewhere billing itself as an ecolodge, let alone a desert retreat found at the end of a midtown alley. It almost works, and the huge window views over the Corbeille allow us to forgive a lot.
Rooms are modern, the restaurant is well-regarded, and you can soak the desert off in the thermal pool or the in-house hammam.
