Dar Yaya

We are Marta and Gusti, a couple, but Yaya's place is perfect for every kind of traveller. Whether you are a family, a couple, a solo traveller or a bunch of friends this place will welcome you with open arms. It is in the center of the village of M'hamid and very close to the desert and its dunes. Yaya welcomed us with tea and kindness and although at first we only booked two nights we ended up staying longer. It is an amazing place with a lovely courtyard from which one can enjoy the sun, the starry skye at night and relax away from chaos. Many facilities are available and the rooms and bathroom are extremely clean. After a long time traveling and hitchhiking we felt recharged and at home. We could finally wash our clothes (they have a laundry) and get a hot shower (towels, hot water, shampoo and toilet paper are available unlike in other places we visited in south Morocco). Yaya was also organising a visit to the dunes in the desert with two chameliers and their dromedaries who carried all the necessary equipment for the night, food and water/tea included and provided for a very good price. We joined a couple of other visitors and had a great time, singing songs, sharing laughter and getting some little precious surprising insights into the nomad life. We'd come again, you can choose this place with closed eyes and be sure you'll soon know you made a great choice. Thank you Yaya and all your family/stuff for having created such a sweet space!

A warm welcome with lots of time given to our questions about the area and the trip into the desert that Yaya arranged for us. - that was fantastic! The rooms are clean and spacious, and the tagine provided for our dinner was the best we have tasted. Yaya communicated well with us before the trip to ensure our arrival was easy and that we were prepared for the trip into the desert.
