The domain
Sawadi is a guesthouse with the comfort of a riad, located at the heart of one of the most beautiful palm grove of Morocco, at 40km from Ouarzazate and 15km from the Atlas foothills. Sawadi is above all an ecolodge. Everything was studied to reduce the impact on the environment. The traditional architectural style kasbah in the are built with materials taken on the spot, we produce our washing liquid with natural products to avoid using devastating detergents and we generalized the use of LED to reduce our energy consumption.
Sawadi's area is 4ha, flowered, filled with date palms, pomegranates, apple trees, pear trees, peach trees, vineyard and fig trees. A little more than 3ha are dedicated to the activities of the ecological farm. It supplies our restaurant with fresh products : meat, vegetables, fruits, eggs, olive oil, jams and yoghurts.
Only 20% of the domain is used for the hotel infrastructures. To protect the tranquility and privacy of our hosts, the area is completely closed and rooms are distributed on the whole hotel zone. We are 7km from the village, no noise comes to perturb the peace of mind of the ecolodge. There is no dust either, customers exclusively enjoy the swimming pool, the restaurant with its magnificent shaded terrace and the SPA (hammam and massages).
A big panoramic terrace, out of sight, serves as a solarium. At night, the place is ideal to admire the impressive starry vault away from any artificial lighting.
