Atlas Mountains
Just a forty-five minute drive from the bustle of Marrakech are the majestic Atlas Mountains, home to spectacular landscapes and authentic Berber villages and markets. Many travelers choose to combine city touring with a few days of exploration here—their natural beauty make the Atlas Mountains a perfect spot from which to reflect upon the myriad impressions of Marrakech itself. Founder Melissa Biggs Bradley writes this about an Indagare Insider Trip she led that ended in the region: “When we weren’t lounging by the pool or lingering over the delicious meals, our group spent time doing yoga, indulging at the spa and taking hikes, accompanied by porters and donkeys, up into the Atlas range.”
A special place for a break while touring, especially if you’re traveling with kids is La Pause, an eco-retreat where you can have lunch and go camel riding.
Two Atlas Mountain resorts that offer vastly different experiences yet both embody the region’s special character: Kasbah Tamadot (Most Indulgent) and Kasbah Bab Ourika (Boutique).
