Fez — Located in the Agafay Desert, about 30 minutes from the center of Marrakech, La Pause is a dry, rocky, and open area with a view that stretches across dunes and hills. The lodge is quiet and calm. There are no city sounds, no traffic, and no screens.
There is no electricity in the rooms, with everything lit at night by candles and lanterns. Guests sleep in tents or small lodges made of natural materials. The rooms have large beds, soft lighting, and outdoor showers. Some also include fireplaces for cool nights.
Meals are simple but special. The kitchen prepares traditional Moroccan food, using local and seasonal ingredients. Guests eat outside or in tents. Dinners often include tagines, fresh bread, and dessert. Some nights feature live music. All meals are served by candlelight.
Most guests come to rest. There is no loud music or fast schedule. Some people spend the day reading, walking, or swimming. Others take part in short activities like camel rides, hikes, or massage. A small pool is available and shaded by trees. Hammocks are placed around the property.
The dress code is casual. Most people wear light clothing during the day and bring a jacket for the evening. La Pause is popular for romantic stays, private events, and quiet retreats. Groups can book in advance for birthdays, weddings, or special occasions.
The best time to visit is in spring or fall. Summer is very hot, and winter can be cold at night. The lodge offers transport from Marrakech, and meals are included with your stay. There is little to no internet or mobile signal, so guests are encouraged to unplug.
La Pause is a place to slow down, offering comfort without distraction. For anyone looking to rest, reflect, or enjoy the desert, this lodge offers something simple and rare.
