Dar Rihana Dades, Boumalne Dades

4.8 (126 reviews) Upscale
Quaint guesthouse in Dadès Valley offering spacious rooms, an outdoor pool, dining, and terraces

Overview

Tucked away in the village of Aït Ouffi, the Dar Rihana Dades guesthouse is at the gateway of the renowned Dades Gorge. The 6-hour journey from Marrakesh is a small price to pay for the opportunity to bask in the tranquil beauty of the Dadès Valley. With just a short trip to the nearby gorges, you'll be in an ideal locale to explore the natural landscapes, rich with opportunities for hiking and visits to the Roses and Todra Valleys.

Every room at Dar Rihana Dades is spacious and welcoming, with traditional decor yet modern furnishings. Past kimkim travelers have lauded the hotel's attention to cleanliness and comfort, with plush beds draped in ample blankets and special touches like the distinctive bathrooms. Each room is equipped with air-conditioning, and some even have private panoramic terraces, offering sweeping views over the gardens and the age-old structures of Aït Ouffi.

While the guesthouse features a sun-drenched private pool, the true heart of Dar Rihana Dades lies in its restaurant. Here, you'll be treated to an innovative menu that brings a new twist to local flavors, moving beyond traditional Moroccan dishes like tajines and couscous. With a daily rotating menu, each meal becomes a new experience.

Dar Rihana was one of our favorite stays in Morocco. This beautiful boutique hotel in the Dades Valley strikes the perfect balance between comfort, thoughtful design, and warm hospitality.

Our room was beautifully decorated, incredibly comfortable, and had some of the nicest amenities we experienced during our trip. As someone who sleeps with a body pillow at home, I was amazed to find one waiting in the room. It's the only hotel I've ever stayed in that had one, and it was such a thoughtful touch that made me feel right at home. The bathroom was also excellent, with a spacious shower and modern amenities.

The pool area is peaceful, beautiful, and the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring the valley.

What truly makes Dar Rihana special is the people. Mohammed, who manages the property, made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and always happy to help with anything we needed - even swimming lessons!

We also enjoyed both dinner and breakfast at the hotel, and they were excellent. After a week of traditional Moroccan cuisine, the French-inspired dinner was a delicious change of pace.

If you're visiting the Dades Valley, I can't recommend Dar Rihana enough. It feels personal, relaxing, and genuinely welcoming. We would happily stay here again.

We stopped here overnight en route from Marrakech to the Sahara. The setting was lovely, the rooms were spacious and comfortable and the restaurant’s dinner was one of the best meals we had while in Morocco. Wish we had a bit more time to relax here.
