Winter Wellness Retreat: Rejuvenate in Imlil’s Serene Landscapes

Escape to Imlil for a winter wellness retreat amidst the serene landscapes of the High Atlas Mountains. With mild weather and thrilling activities like camel rides and Berber village walks, it’s the perfect getaway for rejuvenation and adventure.

Embrace the Tranquility of Imlil

Nestled in the heart of the High Atlas Mountains, Imlil offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. As you arrive, the crisp mountain air and the breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks immediately set the tone for a rejuvenating weekend. The weather is mild, with temperatures ranging from 50.8°F to 63.6°F, making it perfect for outdoor exploration.

Start your day with a Berber Walk through the heart of Imlil’s Berber land. Available from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, this private walk takes you through iconic Berber villages like Imlil and Armd, where you can immerse yourself in the rich culture and traditions of the Berber people. The journey includes a mule ride, perfect for families, and a genuine Berber lunch served on the rooftop of a hospitable inn. As you traverse the Agafay Desert in the morning, you’ll be captivated by the unique light and dune-shaped hills that define this stunning landscape.

“Charming Atlas Mtn Tour - This was a one day tour to the Atlas Mountains with lunch included, followed by a drive through the Agafay Desert. Omar Mesakouk took us on a private tour through Toubkal /Imlil area, and into the Atlas Mountains to a beautiful waterfall, then back down into his village to give us a full view of Berber life. Omar was so very kind, considerate, helpful and absolutely charming, making allowances for the fact that we are not as fit or as spry as we could be. We would highly recommend using Omar for this adventure. He gave us some real insight into the region and how those ancient communities have had to evolve to survive these modern times.” - Reviewed on 2024-09-13

A Journey Through Time on Camelback

No trip to Morocco is complete without experiencing the traditional camel ride. On December 7th and 8th, from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, embark on a Camel Ride through the High Atlas Mountains. This full-day adventure offers a glimpse into the past, as camels were once the primary mode of transportation in North Africa.

The journey also includes a delicious lunch and a brief trek, allowing you to fully appreciate the stunning landscapes and the rich cultural heritage of the region.

“Memorable Experience - We had such a great time on this adventure! The people and staff were absolutely great to us. Even answering all of our questions about the country. I would use them again in a heartbeat. Great experience!” - Reviewed on 2020-09-24
