The 12 Best Hotels in Morocco (2025) | Condé Nast Traveler

"Marrakech may be buzzing with new medina and Palmeraie openings, but this farmhouse embedded in an olive grove between the Atlas and Jbilet mountains—45 minutes from the medina—feels like the true gear shift: an in-the-know desert retreat from husband-and-wife event stylists Fred and Rosena Charmoy that’s more Ibiza or Joshua Tree than flashy resort. There are no big signs, just a Hamsa etched on a rock to signal you’re close, with long pathways sprinkled with argan nuts leading to a dusty-pink converted farmhouse whose smooth, shimmering tadelakt surfaces give it the sleek aura of an art gallery. Vintage Italian sofas join work by local artists and craftspeople—from shaggy Beni Rugs carpets to Amine El Gotaibi’s giant woolly installations and coffee-table books handed down from the city’s legendary Vreeland estate. Of three oversized suites in the main building, the two cavernous rooftop rooms are best for views across to the mountain peaks, while an adobe house in wispy gardens becomes a stylish casita where traditional clay contrasts with oxblood and mustard zellige tiles. A 164-foot pool lined with huge daybeds between plumes of olive trees sets the stage for afternoons that drift into evenings fueled by hibiscus sundowners and New Age cosmic chats." - Lauren Burvill
