Responsible travel: opt for sustainable accommodation

Travelling is more than just a change of scenery. It is an invitation to discover other cultures, to create relationships and to find a more natural rhythm, in harmony with the world around us.

What if it all started with choosing your accommodation?

Eco-lodges, guest houses, responsible lodgings or cabins nestled in nature: discover places that take care of the planet as much as of their travelers.

How to identify a truly committed accommodation?

For us, sustainable accommodation cannot be summed up in nice sentences and a few eco-responsible actions. Above all, it is an authentic, human place, which invites you to slow down, to reconnect with what is essential... and to others.

Committed accommodation must offer a complete tourist experience, in harmony with its territory and its inhabitants.
An accommodation must be distinguished by at least three of the following criteria:
Offer a unique or unusual experience, far from classical standards;
Be located off the beaten track or in a human-sized place;
Valuing the local natural and cultural heritage, without distorting it;

Encourage meetings and exchanges with artisans, producers or local actors who bring the territory to life.
Why opt for responsible accommodation?
Today, sustainable accommodation is no longer just a bed for the night. It offers a travel experience full of meaning, rooted in respect for nature and territories.

Here are three great reasons to make this choice:
Reducing its environmental impact
Waste sorting, compost, renewable energies... These accommodations adopt concrete practices to protect the planet — without compromising on comfort.
Supporting the local economy
Fresh products from small producers, meetings with artisans, workshops to discover local know-how... Sleeping with a local resident or in a committed place means bringing a territory to life.
Live a more authentic experience
Here, we take the time to discuss, to share, to immerse ourselves in the local culture. These accommodations offer true, warm hospitality, which gives the trip a human and lasting flavor.

What if sleeping became a committed act?

Nestled at an altitude of 2200 meters, in the heart of the Aït Bougmez Valley, Touda Ecolodge is an accommodation like no other. Here, in the High Atlas Mountains, Berber hospitality is lived to the rhythm of nature and traditions. More than just a place to stay, Touda is a gateway to a respectful, simple and deeply human way of life.
Sleep in the heart of nature
In Touda, each alarm clock is a show. The silence of the mountain, the first glimmers of light on the peaks, the pure air... Under the mud roofs, we reconnect with the essentials, far from the hustle and bustle of the world.
The ecolodge is entirely built with local materials and managed in a sustainable manner: solar panels, local and seasonal food, short circuits.
A welcome like at home
Touda is also an inhabited house. An open house. You are welcomed as a member of the family: over tea, a shared meal, a story told by the fire.
The dishes are homemade, with products from the garden or from the Bogmaz cooperative. Each meal becomes a moment of exchange and discovery.
To land or go on an adventure
Whether you are coming for a night or a week, Touda is an ideal starting point to discover the wonders of the Atlas. Hikes, walks or mule rides, meetings with locals... Everything here invites you to explore differently, at your own pace.
And when the time comes to relax, the panoramic terrace and the library overlooking the mountains remind you that slowing down is also a way of life.
A night out of time
More than a place to stay, Touda is an experience. An invitation to live as close as possible to the mountains, to people and to the seasons. For those who seek to give meaning to their trip, to immerse themselves in a territory without altering it, it is an unforgettable stopover.
