Agafay desert camp, Marrakech, Morocco

Agafay, Marrakech

A Different Kind of Desert

Between the Atlas Mountains and the silence of Agafay, just outside Marrakech, KALTENERE is a desert retreat shaped by Moroccan hospitality. Mornings begin with the light on the hills, afternoons unfold by the pool, and evenings gather around the fire, the table and a sky full of stars. A place to slow down, reconnect and experience the desert differently.

Our Tents

Wake to the silence of the desert and watch the Atlas Mountains change with the morning light.

Each tent takes its colour from the landscape — sand beige, terracotta sunset, Majorelle blue or oasis green — with a private bathroom and shower. Half board includes breakfast, dinner with show and pool access.

Dining

From slow Moroccan breakfasts to evenings around the table, our kitchen celebrates local flavours, generous hospitality and the rituals of sharing food.

Lunch is served on the terrace or in a private tent; at night, a Moroccan feast comes with Gnawa music and a fire show.

Explore

Follow the desert

Adventure begins at the edge of the camp. Cross the stone dunes at the unhurried pace of a camel caravan, or take a buggy or quad across the open tracks of the Agafay plateau.

When night falls, far from the city lights, the Milky Way comes back.

Pool & Wellness

Begin with yoga in the quiet of the hills, before the heat of the day, then let the afternoon drift by the pool, facing the Atlas Mountains.

For a few hours away from Marrakech, the Day Pass opens the pool, lunch or dinner — and the sunset — to day guests.
