Terrific eco lodge, an oasis within an oasis, plenty of productive gardens, and superior design throughout. Sorry my French wasn't better :)

“Beautiful location with breathtaking views.”
Location, even though it's off-road actions to get there, the views of the Atlas Mountains are breathtaking. It's very quiet and remote.

Sawadi Ecolodge is an oasis in the desert! 🌴☀️ The gardens are lush and beautifully maintained, the pool area is a great place to chill, there is a playground for kids, and a terrace with a view of the Atlas Mountains. The staff are incredibly kind, the rooms are lovely, and the food is delicious - made from fresh, local produce and made with care. It's the perfect stopping point between Marrakech and Merzouga.

“Wonderful!”
We had an excellent time at Sawadi Lodge. Kader, Mansour, Fatima, Houda, Aziza, Said and our guides Moha and Sharif were very welcoming and made sure we had everything we could want. A wonderful warm welcome, bikes to hire for cycling into town, wonderful meals.

Beautifully located in the Palmeira. Very friendly French owner. Nice rooms. And very friendly local staff. Rent the bikes for a drive through the palmeira is the best recommendation we can give. It is a truly amazingly area.

Beautiful ecolodge in Skoura. This was just supposed to be a layover between Marrakech and Merzouga but we all really liked the lodge and the feedback from our group of 4 was that we were sorry we didn't get to spend longer. Grounds are very well maintained and rooms were large and well equipped. Dinner at the lodge was excellent. We had a very early start, so we didn't get to take full advantage of the breakfast spread, but we were grateful to the team for arranging an early breakfast, specifically for us.

“An Oasis in an Oasis”
We had a lovely stay at Sawadi. An Oasis in an Oasis. The adobe buildings are beautiful, the food honestly exceptional fresh and with high quality ingredients and chef. We ate there every night also. The staff, kind and seem to love their jobs. We adored waking up to the abundance of birds every morning and roaming around the gardens and farm on site seeing the veggies and fruit trees grow and seeing the horse and animals healthy and happy. Down a dirty track you’ll find a little slice of heaven. Thanks for the memories Sawadi team! We would love to come back!

“Fantastic stay”
The space is spotless, beautifully designed with authentic Berber touches, and surrounded by a peaceful, lush garden—perfect for relaxation. The traditional breakfast was simple but delicious, featuring eggs, pancakes, different jams, olives, honey, and bread. It was just right for me and my family, though those with bigger appetites might want a bit more. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall great experience. Just a heads-up: there’s no TV, so it might not suit those who enjoy screen time. But for me, the serene atmosphere and lovely surroundings more than made up for it. Highly recommend this place for anyone seeking comfort, authenticity, and a tranquil getaway!

“Recommended”
We had a very pleasant stay at Sawadi Ecolodge. The staff was extremely kind and always helpful — truly welcoming and attentive. The property itself is beautiful: elegant yet down-to-earth, with a charming and tasteful character that doesn’t try to be overly fancy. There’s a vegetable garden on-site, and although we didn’t see any animals, you can feel their presence nearby, which adds to the natural atmosphere. My group and I were in real need of rest after many days on the road, and we spent a full day relaxing by the pool. They provided us with towels for the pool, which was a nice touch. The food was good — and we were especially happy to finally have some fresh salad! Breakfast was very generous and satisfying, and both lunch and dinner were enjoyable.
