Earthen walls surround this lushly landscaped 12-suite compound in the middle of a vast, uninhabited, palm-planted plain 20 minutes outside Marrakech. Guest quarters are immense, with sunken bathtubs, Porthault sheets on beds in cozy alcoves, and either a terrace or a porch. A luxurious hammam is the setting for first-rate Moroccan massages and beauty treatments, and a young French chef who trained with Joël Robuchon does new lunch and dinner menus daily. Most guests will spend their time lounging in the shade of the huge palms around the stunning stoned-faced pool, strolling the beautifully planted gardens, or reading in the fumoir. Tellingly, Ksar Char-Bagh is often booked in its entirety by the Moroccan royal family.
