Camp
Berber-inspired eco-chic glamping. Think adventure-expedition aesthetic — locally crafted homewares, repurposed wood and iron, warm earthy tones — with hotel-level beds and proper hot-water bathrooms. It is quiet and intentionally low-key, not a party camp.

Why It Matters
One of the most polished luxury glamping operations near Marrakech, listed in the Michelin Guide and part of the Serandipians collection. Owner Vincent Jaquet personally designed all the tents and has applied the same obsessive attention to detail across six desert camps. The bio-design lagoon pool — filtered with sand and quartz, heated year-round to 26°C — is genuinely unlike anything else in the area.
Inara Camp sits on 21 hectares of rocky Agafay desert — a stony, mineral landscape at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, about 40 km southwest of Marrakech. Formerly known as Agafay Camp and opened in 2016, it is owner Vincent Jaquet's sixth glamping project. He designed the interiors himself, weaving locally sourced wood, iron, kilim rugs, and rattan pouffes into a look that is eco-chic without feeling fussy. The camp runs 19 tents and suites ranging from 25 to 60 m², two heated pools (including a bio-design desert lagoon with a sand-and-quartz beach), and a restaurant called Le Soukoune that draws non-guests for lunch too.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Agafay Suite
One of the larger suite options, sleeping up to 4 guests. Configurable as king or twin beds with ample space for extra beds or cots — recommended for families. Shares the same eco-chic design language as other tents but with more floor space.
King or twin, extra beds availableDiscovery Tent
The entry-level tent — still genuinely comfortable, just smaller. At 25 m², it fits two adults plus one baby under 3. Private en-suite bathroom with tadelakt shower, separate toilet, reversible air conditioning, and a wooden deck with unobstructed desert views. The chipboard headboards in these smaller tents get a mention in some reviews — not a deal-breaker, but worth knowing if aesthetics matter to you.
Double or twin (configurable) · 25 sqmEmotion Suite
A more spacious, suite-level version of the Emotion tent with an additional outdoor shower — open air, so ideal in the warmer months. Sleeps up to 3. Equipped with lounge, desk, electricity 24/7, hair dryer, and a walkie-talkie for camp communication. The tadelakt bathroom and open-air terrace make this a solid upgrade for couples who want extra breathing room.
King or twin, extra bed availableEmotion Tent
A step up in space and finish from the Discovery. Refreshed with elegant decor, these cozy tents feature improved insulation and a beautiful tadelakt shower. Wood-burning stove for winter nights, air conditioning for summer. King or twin bed configuration. The favourite of i-escape reviewers — they called the bed 'cloud-like' and praised the surprisingly powerful shower.
King or twinInara Suite
The flagship tent — 48 m² of space with a large terrace overlooking the desert. Sleeps up to 4 (king or twin bed plus up to two extra beds or cots). A third adult guest can be added for an extra €100/night, or a child for €60/night. Designed for families or groups of friends who want genuine space. Canyon views from the terrace at sunrise and sunset.
King or twin, up to 2 extra beds · 48 sqmSuite 19
A newer addition to the lineup. Sleeps 2 adults plus 1 baby. Described as the most recently renovated tent, with refined decor, open-air shower, tadelakt bathroom, and a sun-drenched terrace. The open-air shower is a signature feature — an al fresco wash under the desert sky.
