The 12-acre botanical gardens owned by Yves Saint Laurent have colorful local flora, along with a small café, bookshop, and the Musée Berbère, with Berber art from the designer’s collection.
A stunning confluence of carved cedar, zellij tile work, and ornate stucco from the 15th century. Brook a private tour and visit the tiny dormitory spaces where some of the 900-odd students lived.
The hotel is a showcase of Moroccan artisanship, and the white-filigree-and-glass spa is virtually a city in itself. Opt for a traditional hammam using the sumptuous Marcomaroc skin-care line.
Guests of this shabby-chic garden café sit at vintage tables and feast on casual staples, from salade niçoise to crisp, tangy Moroccan briouates (vegetable- or meat-stuffed phyllo triangles).
