Fellah Hotel ★★★★★

The Fellah Hotel is a hotel with soul. Part hotel, part working farm and part yoga centre and spa, it also functions as an art and community centre, hosting artists’ residencies, classes and exhibitions, and pioneering literacy and cultural exchange projects locally. The Fellah Hotel is one of the primary supporters of the UNESCO-recognised organisation Dar-al-Mamûm, and is home to their huge library and arts centre. It also hosts regular events from debates to live music and drama nights.

The hotel complex is set over a fourteen-acre estate, which blends into the backdrop of the majestic snow-capped Atlas Mountains, creating a feeling of spaciousness and oneness with nature. Among the colourful, creative and authentically Moroccan décor, the hotel is actually an ode to the rustic Berber style that characterises the region, on top of the splendour and ornate Moorish influence. Each room is distinct in its style and colour scheme, from stark white and red, to kaleidoscopic colours. The suites are made homely by the addition of quirky collector's items; it is as though you were staying in the luxury apartment of a friend.

There are a number of gorgeous places to dine on the freshly harvested produce from the garden and farm, including the serene shaded patio. Under a rustic wooden ceiling and open walls, sitting at a simple wooden table with beautiful gardens and the azure pool just outside, you will be in the ideal place to enjoy a comforting mint tea and a good book.

Staying at the Fellah Hotel promises to be a wonderfully enriching experience, offering an immersion into Moroccan culture. Between all the activities available at the hotel, and trips to Marrakech, just 20 minutes away, you may just have your most inspiring and enlightening holidays on the grounds of the Fellah Hotel.
