Moroccan Hideaways was established in 2008 with our first property in Marrakech medina. We now own, operate and manage 6 properties in Morocco - three riads in Marrakech (Riad Africa, Riad Explore and Dar Africa), Kasbah Africa in the Azzaden Valley, High Atlas near Ouirgane; Nkhila Camp in the Agafay Desert near Marrakech, and Dar Assarou in Toubkal National Park, Imlil. Guests can expect superb locations for each property - either centrally located in the heart of the local culture, or dramatic wilderness locations for rest, relaxation or exploration. Our staff are very knowledgeable about their local areas, friendly and eager to please - they take pride in their work. We provide clean, comfortable and professionally managed accommodation with a focus on delivering an all-round memorable experience for guests.

Easily accessible by car, Dar Assarou is nestled between apple orchards in the Imlil Valley in the heart of Toubkal National Park. At 1,700m above sea level the cool air of the High Atlas mountains offers a respite from the stifling summer heat of Marrakech in Imlil's largest pool. In winter, deep blue skies frame the mountains that surround Dar Assarou. At the lodge, dreamy 360 degree views can be enjoyed from the roof terrace, including the best view of all - Jebel Toubkal - North Africa's highest peak. Night time is also special, on a cloud-free evening, stargazing at the lodge can be a magical experience. One of only a handful of licenced and authorised first category accommodations in Imlil, Dar Assarou is a trusted base and trek centre for discerning walkers and trekkers from around the world. Professionally guided group and private treks can be arranged by the lodge to all regions of the High Atlas. For many, climbing Mount Toubkal is the objective. For others, spending a few days at Dar Assarou provides a chance to escape and relax. Several day walks to nearby Berber villages and valleys are possible.

Toubkal National Park is the leading adventure destination in North Africa. At its heart in the High Atlas Mountains is Mount Toubkal (Jebel Toubkal), the highest mountain in the region at 4,167m. Ancient mule trails criss-cross between valleys and isolated Berber villages making Toubkal National Park a paradise for walkers and trekkers. For guests who seek fresh mountain air and breathtaking mountain scenery, Dar Assarou is a perfect place to literally do nothing! Choose to rest and relax, enjoying the magnificent High Atlas scenery which surrounds the lodge. Appreciate the sunrise, the sunset, the full moon and the amazing star-filled night skies.... For something more active, ride a mule to a Berber village or enjoy a short guided walk. And for something really different, Dar Assarou's High Atlas cooking school runs daily cooking courses for guests keen on learning how to make a tasty Berber tagine!
