Tizouit

High Atlas Mountains


Set into the hillside overlooking Demnate and shaded by flourishing gardens filled with banana, pomegranate and olive trees, Tizouit is a labour of love and it shows. Henri and Nadja have created an idyllic escape in this superb ecolodge with its eight individual cottage rooms (each with its own private terrace), natural biological pond and luxurious native planting scheme.

Activities are naturally laid-back: long, leisurely walks along ancient irrigation channels to Imi n'Ifri's grotto, or treks to dinosaur footprints on the road to Aït Blel.
