Kasbah Bab Ourika

Kasbah Bab Ourika occupies one of the Ourika Valley’s defining viewpoints: a hilltop above the river, orchards and fields, facing the Atlas and Toubkal National Park. The property’s 42 rooms are spread between the original kasbah, gardens and a newer Retreat, so the experience changes meaningfully by category. Standard rooms offer a simple mountain base; suites add terraces or gardens; three pool-suite formats turn the panorama into private living space; and larger villas make the address workable for families and groups. Interiors avoid uniform hotel styling, combining Berber and Moroccan antiques, vintage rugs, Art Deco furniture, handmade fabrics and a private art collection. Outside, the biological gardens feed a kitchen that follows seasonal produce, while walking, mountain excursions and quiet pool days create a natural counterpoint to Marrakech. Its particular strength is the balance between landscape and intimacy: even after growing beyond the older 28-room inventory, the accommodation remains dispersed across the hillside rather than concentrated in one block.
