Douar Samra Hotel - Imlil (Atlas Mountains)

Rustic guesthouse in a Berber village at 1,920m, base for Mount Toubkal treks

Accommodations and Room Types

Douar Samra Hotel Imlil offers 4 guest rooms, tree houses, and mini-suites, each with a private bathroom, mountain views, and a private terrace. The tree houses, set on stilts in landscaped gardens, provide a secluded space with private patios overlooking the valley. Candle-lit rooms, with no electric lights, create a traditional Berber ambience using only natural light and fireplaces.

Dining and Culinary Offerings

Guests at Douar Samra eat home-cooked vegetarian meals prepared with local produce from the property's garden. Dinner is a 3-course affair served by candlelight in the communal dining room, with options for packed lunches when hiking. The evening meal often features vegetables grown on-site and authentic Moroccan tagines, with wine available for purchase.

Activities and Experiences

On-site guides at Douar Samra lead treks to Mount Toubkal summit, the highest peak in North Africa at 4,167m, and through Toubkal National Park trails. Guests can book guided excursions to nearby Berber villages or hiking routes directly through the hotel, with a room booklet listing possible walks. The hotel also arranges mule-assisted treks and day hikes to Sidi Chamarouch waterfall and viewpoints like Tizi n'Tamatert.

Wellness and Relaxation

Douar Samra has an on-site Berber hammam for guests to use, though it requires a minimum of 6 visitors to operate. Private terraces and garden hammocks offer spaces for relaxation with views of the Atlas Mountains and the valley below. The hotel's location within Toubkal National Park provides direct access to walking routes and quiet spots for reading or yoga.
