Why southern Morocco

An open-air stage of 200 000 km²

Two ecosystems, one operator. Grup Xaluca owns and runs 11 properties across the Sahara, the High Atlas and the kasbah valleys — putting beds, kitchens, logistics and permits one phone call away. Whether you need to land a helicopter on a dune, set a tasting menu for 300 at 2 100 m of altitude, or pitch a hundred haimas in 48 hours, the answer is in-house.
