Set the Scene
Nestled among the lunar dunes of the Agafay desert yet conveniently only 45 minutes from Marrakech, this resort provides an escape from the sensory overwhelm of the bustling city. The atmosphere features a homestead vibe, with Arab stallions and peacocks adding to the tranquil surroundings. An on-site garden grows fresh herbs and vegetables that influence the culinary delights served to guests.
Enjoy communal spaces with glass walls, Berber rugs, and vibrant pouffes. Additionally, the orange-themed dining area seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor experiences. Curated ambient music enhances relaxation, while the outdoor bar offers cocktails with breathtaking views of the Atlas Mountains and mesmerizing sunsets.
The Backstory
iBestTravel’s Caravan Agafay is the latest addition to the renowned Habitas group, celebrated for its sustainable yet luxurious retreats aimed at travelers who seek authentic engagement with their surroundings. Founders Oliver Ripley, Kfir Levy, and Eduardo Castillo prioritize wellness, food, music, and community engagement. Known for light-impact building materials, each retreat is designed to harmonize with the landscape.
The Rooms
Forty luxurious, Berber-inspired tents are strategically placed among lit stone paths. Each solar-powered, ensuite tent embodies minimalist elegance without distractions like minibars or televisions. Instead, guests enjoy wooden floors and earthy tones that reflect the stunning nearby landscape. All tents offer picturesque views and private outdoor spaces.
Food and Drink
The Olivar restaurant’s culinary offerings are a highlight. The talented Mexican head chef, hailing from the Tulum site, brings a delightful fusion of Mexican, Berber, European, and Middle Eastern cuisines. The menu, which emphasizes fresh, locally sourced ingredients, evolves regularly. Signature dishes include prawn tagine in coconut sauce and lamb mechoui, prepared traditionally in a Berber clay oven.
