Domaine de la Roseraie Resort

We stayed at Domaine de la Roseraie for two nights of relaxation after a hectic (but unforgettable) Sahara Desert trip, and it was the perfect place to unwind.

Tucked away in the peaceful foothills of Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains, this beautiful retreat feels like stepping into a dream. Just an hour from Marrakech, it offers a welcome escape from the city, with fresh mountain air and stunning views creating an immediate sense of calm.

The grounds are truly special—filled with thousands of blooming rose bushes, olive groves, and lush orchards. It’s easy to lose track of time simply wandering around. The cottage-style rooms are full of charm, decorated with traditional Moroccan touches, and each has a private patio or balcony that’s perfect for slow mornings or relaxing at sunset.

Days here are wonderfully unhurried. You can enjoy a swim in one of the pools, unwind in the hammam, or simply relax and take in the surroundings. There are also opportunities for horse riding and scenic walks through the nearby valleys, and even some friendly donkeys adding to the charm. The viewpoint overlooking Ouirgane Lake is particularly beautiful.
The evening meals deserve a special mention - high quality restaurant standard on both nights. 10/10.

What really sets this place apart is its atmosphere. As a family-run hotel, there’s a genuine sense of care, sustainability, and connection to the local environment.

Overall, a peaceful and memorable stay—an ideal place to recharge and experience a slower, more tranquil side of Morocco.

The property is unbelievable. It is massive, and there's so much to explore. We spent two of our days largely not leaving the property and just enjoying the serenity of the gardens & surrounding canyons. You can tell how much time and care is put into the grounds. Also the breakfast!!! Incredible. So many breads and spreads and the staff is delightfully attentive without being overbearing.

Very pretty hotel, lovely decorated on a lovely property in a beautiful setting ; surrounded by mountains covered with snow . Very nice and quiet place, we enjoyed very much the tranquility of the hotel. During our stay there were few other guests ( because of Ramadan and early season ) , so I don’tknow how it is when there are much more guests ( there are over 40 rooms I believe) .

I am afraid I have been thinking about the score for this hotel for 2 days but…my experience has been rather average.
First the positives: the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful and the diner was first notch.The gardens are absolutely magic also in winter so I can only imagine the beauty in spring with the thousands of roses blooming.
Negatives: warm shower, patchy Wi-Fi and TV and telephone non working. Frankly a patchy Wi-Fi with a war raging in the Middle East and our flights going through there was a bit stressful. Also probably because they are preparing for the season everything seems a bit “hit and miss”….pity but I am sure that my opinion is only related to the off season stay.

Calme et chic de bon goût

Tout. Le lieu exceptionnel, la gentillesse et la disponibilité du personnel, la tranquillité, les super massages, les repas près de la petite fontaine.

Le lieu et les restaurants

During the Thanksgiving holiday, I stayed at Domaine de la Roseraie. The experience was exceptional, and I confidently recommend the Roseraie as an ideal starting point for visitors to Morocco interested in relaxation, cultural exploration, and experiencing local hospitality. The proprietor, Nabil, along with his staff, provide attentive service and demonstrate genuine hospitality. The Thanksgiving dinner, which included traditional elements such as cranberry sauce, was notable for its quality. Enjoying Moroccan tea in a tranquil setting and walking through the gardens to appreciate the flora and fragrances contributed significantly to the overall positive impression of my visit.

The garden environment of this hotel is very special and the pool and bar area are lovely. The evenings were cold in November but everywhere felt very cosy with roaring fires. We really enjoyed the dinners (set price for 3 courses with a choice of 3 options for each course). Interesting and tasty dishes and very good value. The large and comfortable beds and the very peaceful environment gave us great sleeps. We loved the history and old world charm of this hotel. The staff were very attentive and caring and made our stay easy and enjoyable.

The location is stunning and the grounds of the hotel very beautiful indeed. The staff are charming, they lack the expertise that goes with a truly top hotel but definitely want to help. The room was extremely comfortable.

A beautiful, calm retreat. We had a nicely decorated room but the highlight of this property is the setting. Beautiful grounds with a large variety of trees and flowers. Fantastic mountain vistas. Friendly staff contribute to the experience. The food is good but not great.

The pools were beautiful, as were all the grounds which were excellently maintained. The lounge area, restaurant and bar were tastefully decorated and presented. We particularly loved the bar terrace and dining room with its Moroccan decor and textiles. All the staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful and the owners clearly set high standard for them.

One of the best places we have stayed. You can chill, hike, mountain bike, whatever you want. The hotel and gardens are beautiful. Food and bar exceptional quality. Sitting on the veranda for a sundowner is the best. Pool can be cool, but a lovely quiet area.
Hotel staff will sort whatever you need. We had a local guide for hiking a few mornings.
Would love to go back…..and really hope to.

Lage gut. Garten sehr schön und auch gepflegt. Poolbereich auch schön, wenn auch viel zu wenig Liegemöglichkeiten. Veranda mit Sitzgruppen und Bar sehr hübsch und gemütlich. Zimmer und Sauberkeit ok.
