The rocky desert of Agafay in Morocco is an ideal location for the Habitas Group, which has been establishing its minimalist, sustainable retreats in countries as diverse as Mexico, Namibia and Saudi Arabia since 2016. As founders Oliver Ripley, Kfir Levy and Eduardo Castillo liked to say, these retreats mean to provide “luxury for the soul”. 41 tents with private bathrooms – powered by solar energy – embody a form of elegant purity: no minibar or television, just wooden floors and cream and ochre earth tones reminiscent of the regional rock. Wherever possible, Agafay uses low-impact, recycled or locally sourced building materials designed to blend into the landscape. The food is local and guests looking for more meaning can enjoy a guilt-free stay in good company. What more do you need?
