Just outside of Skoura, this traditional lodge offers rooms in round African-style bungalows, complete with bamboo ceilings, Berber carpets, colourful woven blankets and bathrooms in tadelakt (waterproof plaster). There are fine views of the Atlas Mountains and the palmeraie (palm grove). Coming from Ouarzazate, it's located about 5km southwest of the centre, signed to the left off the N10.
