Caravan by Habitas Agafay, the second retreat of its kind, is an enchanting tented camp set deep within Morocco’s Agafay Desert. Surrounded by the desert’s rocky dunes, you’ll discover a secluded oasis where lantern-lit pathways and olive trees guide you to your private tent or lodge. With relaxed Berber-style lounges, inviting swimming pools, and an organic vegetable garden, days unfold slowly — spent unwinding under star-filled skies, dining alfresco, and exploring the desert’s rolling terrain and eucalyptus groves by e-bike.

LOCATION

Nestled among the undulating dunes, Caravan by Habitas Agafay is just a 40-minute drive from Marrakech. As you leave the vibrant energy of the city behind, the scenery shifts dramatically — pastel-pink architecture gives way to rugged desert landscapes and moon-like terrain, all set against the distant silhouette of the Atlas Mountains.

YOUR ROOM

Spread harmoniously across the desert landscape, the camp’s luxurious tents and lodges combine artisanal craftsmanship with contemporary comfort. Each space features private outdoor Berber lounge areas and expansive desert views. Inside, king-size beds, sliding glass doors opening onto a private deck, and eco-friendly ensuite bathrooms with rainfall showers create a serene sanctuary — ideal for immersing yourself in the raw beauty of Agafay.

WHY WE LOVE IT

One of the standout experiences at Caravan by Habitas Agafay is dining at the open-air restaurant, Olivar. Adorned with woven rugs and lattice lanterns, and gently warmed by outdoor heaters, it’s a magical setting where guests gather beneath the stars. Evenings are enriched with traditional Moroccan music performed by local artists, while the menu celebrates regional flavors — from fragrant vegetable couscous and spice-laden tagines to eggplant pastilla and tender roasted lamb.

Sustainability is thoughtfully woven into life at Caravan by Habitas Agafay. The luxury tents are equipped with solar-powered lighting, and much of the produce served is harvested from the camp’s own organic garden. On a wider scale, Habitas is committed to environmental responsibility through carbon offset programs, eliminating single-use plastics across its properties, and supporting surrounding communities via the Habitas RISE Fund — ensuring that luxury and conscious travel go hand in hand.
