One hillside, eight cabins, the whole valley in the glass

Questions
Before booking
Something else on your mind? Add it to your stay request and we'll answer personally.
Can I stay at Mars Cabin Ouirgane now?
Not yet. The retreat is in its feasibility phase and no cabin is open. Send a stay request with your dates: it goes on our priority list, and we'll write to you first when bookings open.
How do I get there without a car?
Choose the private transfer when you book. A driver meets you at Marrakech airport or in the medina, and the drive takes about an hour and a quarter.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, every morning, brought to your terrace at the time you choose. Dinner on your terrace can be added for any evening.
Will we be warm in winter?
Yes. The cabin shell is insulated and every cabin has heating and air conditioning, so you can watch the snow on the peaks from a warm bed.
Which nights are best for stars?
The nights around the new moon, when the moon is less than a quarter lit. Our booking calendar shows the moon for every night and marks the darkest ones.
Can we come with children?
Yes. A single cabin sleeps two, with a cot on request for a baby. For three or four, choose Twin Cabins: two bedrooms side by side with a shared terrace.
Are the photos of the real retreat?
No. The scenes in Ouirgane are concept illustrations of the planned retreat. The cabin itself is a real, factory-built module: see photos of it.
