Sawadi, Skoura, near Ouarzazate, Morocco - Explore & Book

"Nestling in the palmeraie de skoura, near the breathtaking Dades gorge, Sawadi is a magical place which feels not only miles from anywhere but also several centuries in the past. It's reached down a rocky 5-mile track that crosses a oued (river bed) and curves past walled gardens, tall palms and mud houses where children peep shyly through windows.After the dusty plains, the impressive red-mud entrance and towering wooden gates open to a welcome sight: a gleaming pool and lush lawns. Flower-lined paths lead to colourful, comfortable rooms housed in 6 miniature kasbahs, built in Berber style with straw and mud bricks. Behind lie 3.3 hectares of farmland: fruit orchards, grape vines, meadow flowers, sheep and donkeys, and a huge vegetable patch whose carrots, onion, mint, lemons, courgettes and olives are used in the kitchen. With only the sound of trickling water and birdsong, you'll find utter tranquillity - whether lying by the pool, hiking in the gorges or riding horses through the palmeraie. Highs Utter peace in acres of walled gardens lovingly planted with flowers and sowed for organic produce - an absolute beauty! Great for families: it's safe, there's lots to do (bikes, donkeys, pool) and there are family suites)Magical oasis-like setting where huge mountains and gorges cede to flat desert, palm groves, mud-built villages and sparkling lakes - lots to exploreSunset views of the Atlas peaks and star-filled night skiesCharming French owners, Phillippe and Catherine, and lovely staff Lows The remote location makes it easy to get lost, so try and arrive in the daytime (or book a car with driver) - detailed directions are provided on confirmationThe nearest restaurant is 45km - but the food here is delicious and home-grown5 hours from Marrakech airport, but the drive through the Atlas Mountains is amazing!Rooms are a bit dark but homely - fine by us as you don't come here to stay indoors" - Charlotte Sinclair

We spent one night here and when we woke up in the morning, we had the feeling that all birds of paradise were singing. It’s an exceptional place, very remote and very natural. The rooms are kasbah in fact and they are very authentically and tastefully decorated. They provided home-made cosmetics in the bathroom and they put fresh roses on the table. Just superb! ❤️

We had a wonderful stay at Sawadi - a tranquil oasis in the middle of the stunning but stark scenery on that side of the Atlas. Everything about the stay just ticked the box - Nicolas the owner and staff were so friendly and welcoming and attentive, the food was beautifully prepared and presented, and the room and facilities high quality. We didn't do any of the proposed activities as we preferred to laze by the pool and lap up the amazing March sunshine, but we did sample the spa (very good!) and did a couple of lovely runs through the surrounding village (very friendly and "real" in the best sense of the word). We would wholeheartedly recommend Sawadi!

A home away from home within the confines of a beautiful garden is the best way to describe this lodge. Built with traditional materials, you will be amazed by the beauty of the architecture, the kindness of the hosts and the hee-haw of the donkies.|Indulge in the fine food made from mainly home-grown vegetables.|The only downside is a sometimes resort-like feeling when other guests act as if they were in one of them.|Kindness would be the word that defines those who attend to you in this oasis of happiness

A little bit hard to reach, but everything was fine in the end. Big rooms, setup with taste, fresh flowers on the table, natural toiletries prodused by them. big property with greenery where you can walk and spend the day. Nice pool.

We called ahead of time to make reservations for dinner. We did make the reservation for vegetarian dinner (no oil just butter) since we are in a Riad close by that doesn’t offer dinner service, when we called to mention that it would take about a 20 minute walk over, to get there we were told that they are closed, it was a women who replied, initially when we made the reservation. It was a man who confirmed our reservation for dinner an hour prior. Quête an unexpected turn of events. The least they could do is apologize for the cancelation of our reservation. Yet we were treated and spoken to as though we made up the whole thing. Very very rude french woman that answered the phone.

I stayed a single night at the Sawadi as part of a motorcycle tour of the Atlas Mountains (with Desert Rats) and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.|The hotel is spread out through a grove type area and the rooms are comfortable, spacious and clean with an ensuite and all the usual accessories including air con (although it wasn't required during this trip). The bed was comfortable and the room quiet at night. There is a pool, a small bar area, and dining facilities. The food was all table service and of a varied and good quality.|All-in-all a really enjoyable stay and a recommended hotel.

Had a fantastic 3 day getaway here. It’s really like being in the garden of Eden - such a beautiful relaxing place. The staff were amazing, super friendly and really couldn’t do enough for you. The food using produce from their own gardens was delicious. Had a lovely Hammam and massage here too. Can’t recommend staying here enough and we would love to come back and stay longer next time.
