Embodying Authenticity Over Trends
Built in the high mountain valley of Aït Bougmez at an altitude of 2220m, in the unique style of the valley, Touda Ecolodge combines authenticity and modernity. Its family management guarantees you a welcome in the true Amazigh hospitality tradition, hosted by locals who will share their authentic knowledge of customs and traditions.
A name with meaning
Touda is a female Amazigh name, chosen as a tribute to Saïd's (the founder) mother. In Amazigh culture, the man is traditionally the protector of the family, while the woman is the pillar, the symbol of the warmth of the home and the one who is responsible for honouring the family’s heritage and passing these important traditions down to her children. Our ecolodge therefore bears a female name, paying homage to women’s essential place in Amazigh culture and their central role in family and community life.
L’Écolodge
A cozy cocoon
The interior layout of Touda fosters exchange and conviviality. Sunlight streams through several large windows into the beautifully decorated lounges, while the open kitchen invites guests to share and participate in meal preparation. The Ecolodge features its own hammam, a must-do tradition in Morocco, and offers a unique wellness experience with its Nordic bath ( the only one in the country ) to recharge and boost your energy. Finally, several terraces overlook the Aït Bougmez valley, ideal for savoring a mint tea or admiring the sunset.
The rooms
The spirit of touda
At Touda, an ecolodge nestled in the heart of the High Atlas, one does not come to stay locked in rooms. Here, luxury is measured differently: in simplicity, essential comfort, and the untouched natural beauty that surrounds us.
Our rooms were intentionally designed to be sober and minimalist: a comfortable bed, a pleasant shower, and everything necessary to feel good, without excess or unnecessary distractions. At Touda, true comfort is waking up facing the mountains, breathing fresh air, and reconnecting with nature.

The Touda Vegetable Garden
Like a green jewel nestled in the hollow of the peaks, the Touda vegetable garden perfectly illustrates our commitment to responsible tourism in the High Atlas.
Cultivated at altitude according to permaculture principles and the rhythm of the seasons, it offers vegetables and aromatic herbs that go almost directly from garden to table. A sincere, local, and living cuisine, reflecting the place and those who inhabit it.
