La Gazelle d’or

Taroudant, Morocco

La Gazelle d'or

The internationally famous luxury hotel, the Gazelle d’Or is located just a few steps from Taroudant, one of Morocco’s oldest medieval cities. Spread over 10 hectares of luxuriant garden, the 30 immense and luminous bungalows welcome guests into a sober and very comfortable setting. The décor is a harmonious blend of eastern and western influences. All the accommodations are simple and refined, some with their own terrace for greater intimacy. The irreproachable and discreet staff is ready to grant guests’ their every wish. Traditional Moroccan meals are prepared using fresh products from the hotel’s organic farm. Activities include a huge swimming pool, two tennis courts, a fitness room, a spa, a traditional hammam and a stable of horses. The Gazelle d’Or is a discreetly charming oasis of peace and comfort.

“So after our trek around curves and up and down mountain sides we arrived at the Gazelle D’Or, a true oasis of beauty and refinement outside of Tarourdant. Our villa is nearly as large as the house on Speranza and we are sitting on the terrace listening to the crickets now that evening is approaching. Love to you all.

[…] Candlelight, piano serenade and fantastic food on the terrace. This place is magical, wish you were all with us!” – John and Kathy

Feynan EcoLodge

Escape the beaten path.
A sensory experience awaits.

Deep in the heart of the mountainous Dana Biosphere Reserve, at the end of a rugged track, an idyllic candle-lit lodge rests in the magnificent Wadi Feynan.

Here, set against the glorious desert landscape, guests staying at the 26-room lodge can be found adventuring through the untouched outdoors, sipping mint tea with the native Bedouin, exploring local archaeological sites or simply unwinding in the serene courtyards and terraces of the candle-lit complex; safe in the knowledge that they are vacationing in a socially and environmentally-responsible way.

Hailed as one of the top fifty ecolodges in the world by National Geographic Adventure Magazine, the solar powered Feynan Ecolodge offers the most developed eco-experience in Jordan; an experience made possible by a unique partnership between EcoHotels and the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature, a Jordanian NGO devoted to the protection of the Kingdom?s finest natural landscapes.

The Experience

Leave your televisions and telephones behind. Switch off your laptops and your hectic life. Retreat to the serenity of nature: to gaze at majestic sunsets across multi-coloured mountains, join stimulating hikes through rocky terrains, and unwind under starlit nights accompanied only by the sounds of the desert wind, wildlife and the occasional Bedouin footstep.
