A handsome eight-room bolt hole inside Zagora’s date-palm oasis, Azalai is an ideal base for seeing the desert and the Draa Valley.
ROOMS: Travelling Rooms are bigger than Discovery Rooms thanks to their lounges; they also offer the option of twin beds. Both room types feature an Italian shower or vintage cast-iron bathtub, hair-dryers and air-conditioning or fans. The two Suites are larger still, and also include a living room. Glass doors in every chamber lead directly into the lovely gardens.
FACILITIES: Those gardens are home to the pool, lined by chaises longues and straw parasols. There is a small spa, offering massages and hammams, as well as a croquet course. Dinner – classic Moroccan fare using local ingredients - may be served on the pool terrace or inside, where two lounges with fireplaces and Art Deco tables await, as does a library and games. Alcohol isn’t currently sold, but you’re welcome to bring your own.
EXTRA INFO: Azalai also runs a Desert Camp. Excursions there – partly by camel if desired – can be arranged, and so too Draa River picnics.
