TERRES D’AMANAR

Located on the first steps of the High Atlas just 30 minutes from Marrakech, the Terres d’Amanar are backed by the 100,000 hectares of the Toubkal National Park. As a family, with friends, as a couple or in company, the Terres d’Amanar are a natural reserve of energy. A unique site, which invites you to take a break from the urban bustle. Come and stay there to discover the Berber culture and let go by practicing sports, “nature”, well-being or craft activities from local traditions.
The site has the largest aerial course in Africa! Nothing beats jumping on the zip lines to admire the canyons of red earth and fill up on thrills! The place is also an ideal starting point for trekking to discover the villages, valleys and peaks of the Atlas. All activities are supervised by qualified professionals and are suitable for adults and children who have a blast! Each time, they are an opportunity for rich encounters and discovery of the surrounding nature!
The accommodation, available in lodges and tent-lodges, combines comfort and natural materials. On the restaurant menu, the dishes are prepared from local products and simmered for long hours by the women of the neighboring douars.
If during the day, the place offers an exceptional panorama of the villages and the mountain peaks , at nightfall, by the fireside, you can admire the stars and the lights of Marrakech which twinkle in the distance…
