Found some 50km south of Marrakech, the verdant Ourika Valley and the surrounding area offer an oasis in every sense of the word among the dry sands of North Africa, and an opportunity to explore a natural side of Morocco far removed from the opulance of Marrakech. Nestled among the peaks of the High Atlas Mountains, the cascading Berber villages and leafy environs are visited by a wealth of fauna and flora, from almond and cherry trees (their blossoms among the first to arrive in early spring), while gorgeous waterfalls as well as an air of peace and authenticity almost unparalleled in its gentle splendour.
It is also home to the small village of Setti-Fatma ideal for family excursions to the mountains. The garden of Timalzene and the bio-aromatic garden of Ourika are equally enchanting, leaving visitors with lasting memories of their time in the fertile desert of North Africa. For those wishing to discover more about the Berber people and their culture, consider visiting Ourika valley’s Berber eco-museum, where you will see their beautiful collection of jewellery, photographs and pottery.
Close by, the Ourika Valley also boasts the fantastic Palm Golf golf course, for those looking to play a round with the sensational backdrop of the snow peaks of the Atlas Mountains.

We spent a lot of time at the villa - in the pool and garden playing with the kids. Also took day trips to Marrakech, Ourika and a gorgeous sculpture garden called Anima (one of the highlights)
