Just a short drive from Marrakech as you enter the Atlas mountains, the hotel Les Jardin de Taja is a peaceful haven where every little house is decorated with care, and where every meal is served with the utmost delicacy. Take the opportunity to spend a day in the Ourika valley, before eventually going on a trek to see the rest of the Atlas mountains, towards Mount Toukbal or Souss-Massa. The incredible Kasbah Tamadot, a luxury hotel owned by Richard Branson, is the ultimate reward for the trekkers, or at least for all those who managed to get a reservation in due time. Alternatively, the Kasbah Beldi near Lake Lalla Takerkoust is another charming hotel in the Atlas region.
