La Pause review: our verdict
No electricity or Wi-Fi: in the evening, La Pause is illuminated by candles and lanterns, and that is precisely its charm. You sleep in spacious lodges, each with its own bathroom and terrace overlooking the view, or in bivouac tents, in the middle of an olive grove and rocky hills, with the Atlas Mountains in the distance, a 45-minute drive from Marrakech.
The ideal stay lasts one or two nights: a camel or buggy ride with guides who know the terrain, a game of pétanque, the sunset viewed from the pool at the top of the hill, followed by a generous Moroccan dinner served under a tent or outdoors under the stars. The team is attentive, and the camp suits a romantic getaway just as well as a weekend with friends or a private event. A one-day visit, however, disappoints more often than it delights, especially for families.
The pitfall: coming for lunch only, as access to the pool costs extra on top of the meal (310 DH announced for February 2026) and remains closed to children; make sure everything is clarified before setting off. The good tip: stay overnight, as the pools are primarily intended for residents.
