Richard Bradshaw, a businessman from Western Australia, who has bought at L’Amandier, a small-scale residential retreat in the Ouirgane Valley, says: “I set out with the plan to invest in Marrakech and quickly realised the real opportunity at the moment is, in fact, in the Atlas Mountains. It’s outstandingly beautiful, close to Marrakech and very well protected from overdevelopment. The fact that there are quality hotels and spas in the area was a good sign and tourism in the Ouirgane Valley is on the rise.”

The latest project of their company MHK International is in the rather more exotic Ouirgane valley, west of Jbel Toubkal. This is the highest peak in Morocco’s Atlas mountains, about an hour’s drive from Marrakesh.

Never mind Marrakesh, with its medina and done-to-death riads: the latest destination in Morocco is upcountry, in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Only an hour’s drive out of the city, the valleys and tiny Berber towns around Ouirgane are slowly being populated by British buyers keen to move away from the markets to the valleys, which are not dissimilar to rural Mallorca or Andalusia.
