MIA Agafay Resort
The elegant desert camp MIA Agafay embodies refined luxury with its cream-coloured tents and eco-lodges. Easily reached from Marrakesh, this exceptional retreat sits at the edge of an otherworldly landscape, defined by striking natural light and a deep sense of stillness. The result is a form of understated luxury that blends immersive nature experiences with authentic hospitality. Discover the restorative power of the desert through yoga, meditation and soothing massages.

The Agafay Desert is a rocky, stony expanse rather than a classic sand desert like the Sahara. Located around 30 kilometres southwest of Marrakesh, it can be reached in approximately 40 minutes, making it ideal for day trips, short breaks and peaceful escapes from the city.

Agafay
From your Agafay camp, travel to the beautiful Ourika Valley (approx. 50–60 km, 1–1.5 hours by 4×4). Together with your guide, explore traditional Berber villages and visit a local argan oil cooperative. The highlight of the excursion is the Setti Fatma waterfalls, a series of seven cascades with natural pools perfect for cooling off. Enjoy panoramic views of the High Atlas Mountains and lunch in a traditional kasbah.
Around Lake Lalla Takerkoust (approx. 20–40 km from the Agafay camps), gentle trails follow the shoreline and surrounding hills, offering beautiful views of the Atlas Mountains. These routes are ideal for one- to two-hour walks. Along the lake you will also find cafés and opportunities for outdoor and water sports such as jet skiing, kayaking and stand-up paddling, as well as quad tours around the lake and towards Agafay.
A unique experience: glide for 15–30 minutes above the desert and the Lalla Takerkoust reservoir with views of Jebel Toubkal in the High Atlas Mountains. About 1–1.5 hours from your desert camp lies a well-known paragliding spot at the northern edge of the Atlas. Your tandem flight begins from the Aguergour slope, with launch points between 950 and 1,250 metres, soaring over the Kik Plateau, Berber villages and valleys.
A must for the curious and adventurous: a hot air balloon flight over the royal city of Marrakesh. From above, your view drifts from the vibrant colours of the city to the vast desert landscapes and the Atlas Mountains. An unforgettable experience.
