March special offer on Moroccan Hotels: Tigmi
There’s nothing quite like escaping the hustle and bustle of city life to relax and rejuvenate.

Rating: ***
Tigmi is a superb mid-range Moroccan hotel located in the small village of Tagadert. Just 20 minutes from the city of Marrakesh, Tagadert is also within easy reach of the tranquil beauty of the Atlas Mountains.
Originally a house, Tigmi was constructed in 1840 and has recently been renovated by village artisans using traditional techniques. The main house was transformed into a spacious hotel, complete with swimming pool, hammam (Turkish bath) and restaurant. A farm track divides this building from the second wing of Tigmi, which opened in 2008 and added another pool, as well as spacious bedrooms.

There’s a real treat in store at this hotel for fans of arts and crafts. You’ll be struck instantly by the vivid woven furnishings inside the hotel, which are made on the premises by Tigmi’s resident weaver. A talented artisan, he can create bespoke weavings from drawings that guests supply.
Tigmi’s food is not to be missed – cooked fresh from local, organic ingredients (the olive oil is produced just 500 yards away, an example of truly local cuisine) and vegetarians are catered for, although it’s best to advise the hotel in advance if you have any special dietary requirements. Meals are generally served outside on the terrace during warm weather, when guests can enjoy an amazing panoramic vista while eating. Food can also be served indoors anywhere throughout the hotel as required.
The mountainous, rural location of Tigmi means it’s ideal for sporty holidays, from gentle walks and hikes to mountain biking, watersports on the nearby lake and even microlight flying. You can hire mountain bikes from Tigmi itself. But if you want to take things a little easier, that’s not a problem – the mini gym, pools and spa with massage therapies and skin treatments are sure to help relax you.

The hammam is large compared with those in many Moroccan riads and has a relaxing atmosphere, with separate rooms for each of the therapies on offer, giving a real sense of privacy.
