Wanderlust just outside Marrakesh… we absolutely agree that this place is an ‘Ibiza meets south of France’ oasis perfectly placed to escape the hustle and bustle of the Medina.

It would have been 5 stars for the Motorhome set up but not a...

It is about 25 minutes drive from marrakech and it is situated beside a rather run down area with dirt tracks leading to it. We did get a shock while in the taxi out and were convinced we had gone the wrong direction but suddenly the beautiful oasis amongst all the dirt tracks appeared and once inside it was luxury. We were 2 couples in our 30s and would highly recommend if you wanted a few hours of sun and pool and for a very...
