The South , Morocco
Perfect for contemplation or a dip in the beautiful heated swimming pool, the private towering rusty red-brick fortress surrounded by a palm grove makes Dar Ahlam a 'House of Dreams'. Once part of a medieval sultan's private hunting ground in the Skoura Oasis it offers refined decoration and a meeting of styles.
Stay in a softly styled spacious suite or private villa adorned with unusual antiques and silk curtains. Sit by the fireplace, surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colours and savour the views of the Atlas Mountains. For the ultimate privacy the independent villas are located on the edge of the grounds each with their own plunge pool. Sip champagne on a picnic in the Valley of the Roses or choose between a horse, camel or jeep for a desert jaunt. Take lunch in the herb garden or olive grove before a pampering session in the spa, perhaps a Thai massage or a Moroccan mud scrub. Visit the perfume parlour and choose between a selection of hand cut soaps, body vinegars and massage oils with some of these exquisite cosmetics to be found in the bathroom of your suite. Dine on inspired Moroccan cuisine in a cosy corner of the kasbah or on a secret terrace and let us arrange a special private digestif on the rooftop.
Whilst year round Morocco is warm and sunny, the best time to visit is from mid February to June and from September to December. Coastal Morocco is cooled by breezes off the Mediterranean and Atlantic. The peaks of the Atlas Mountains are snow capped for most of the year.
