Hôtel Les Amandiers

Hôtel Les Amandiers is Tafraout’s most well-known and enduring hotel, perched on a rocky hillside in the centre of this remote Anti-Atlas town approximately 150 kilometres southeast of Agadir. The hotel has operated for over four decades and has built a loyal following among international travellers, mountaineers, and climbers who use Tafraout as a base for exploring the remarkable granite rock formations and Berber villages of the surrounding Ameln Valley. The property features 60 rooms including suites, doubles, twins, and triples, all equipped with air conditioning, private bathrooms with baths or showers, and satellite television. From the hotel’s panoramic terrace and pool area, guests enjoy sweeping views over the distinctive pink and ochre granite mountains that give Tafraout its dramatic character. The outdoor swimming pool is a welcome amenity during the hot months, while the licensed bar — one of the very few in the region — provides a social hub for international guests throughout the season. The restaurant serves a mix of Moroccan and international cuisine, and the hotel team speaks English, French, and German. The annual almond blossom season in February and the New Year festivities are particularly popular times to visit, with the hotel regularly hosting celebratory events. Les Amandiers remains the definitive choice for travellers seeking a comfortable, characterful base in this extraordinary corner of Morocco.
