Caravan by Habitas Agafay

Character and identity

Set 45 minutes from Marrakech in the lunar Agafay desert, Caravan brings the Habitas template (low-impact build, communal lounges, electro-leaning soundtrack curated in-house) to a 38-tent camp scattered across stone paths beneath the Atlas. Architecture is sandy-toned Berber tents with wooden floors, ochre textiles and Moroccan lamps, all ensuite and solar-powered, deliberately stripped of TVs and minibars. Glass-walled lounges, an orange-hued raffia-lit dining verandah and an emerald-tiled outdoor bar anchor the social heart. Olivar, the restaurant, is the gravitational centre. Service runs low-key, attentive and multilingual, with a faint homestead feel of stallions, peacocks and a kitchen garden.

Who's it for

Bottom line

The cooking at Olivar, a Mexican-Berber-Mediterranean crossover from a chef transplanted from Tulum, is the single best reason to come, closely followed by the desert silence and night skies. Book a suite for the private deck, plan at least two nights to fit in stargazing, a Berber village trip and the lamb mechoui, and treat the wellness offer as a bonus rather than a draw.
