A riad at the foot of the mountains
Riad Asmaa sits in the first foothills of the High Atlas, at the entrance to a small hamlet, 15 km east of Agadir. Around the house, mule tracks and hiking trails offer wonderful viewpoints, among flocks of sheep and goats.
No car needed for your first walk: set off after breakfast and come back for the pool.
