Kasbah Ait Abou, Drâa-Tafilalet, Morocco
Sleep like a dignitary in this 1825 kasbah built by the local caïd, with a 25m mudbrick tower that’s an engineering marvel. Ground-floor rooms are big, plain and naturally cool, with wonky en suites; alternatively, opt for one of the newer rooms set around the vegetable garden. Thanks to a unique partnership with the UCPA youth club, Mohammed can also arrange for horse rides through the palmeraie.
