All rooms are unique, decorated in a tasteful blend of traditional Moroccan and Berber motifs, and modern furnitures. The Fellah Hotel’s Spa specializes in Moroccan treatments, such as honey facials and traditional Hammam.
As you would expect, at Fellah Hotel all the food and beverages are local and organic, and the hotel’s Touco Café is run by residents of the nearby Tassoultante village.

Yet, Fellah’s most unique and interesting feature might be its artists in residence program (currently hosting Aisha Sasha John, and Ma’n Abu Thaleb), as well as its extensive library (no less than 10,000 books) which is free and open to both guests and the public. Fellah Hotel is also a premier sponsor of the Dar Al-Ma’mûn foundation, and houses the UNESCO recognized not-for-profit organization’s library and cultural arts centre. The Dar Al-Ma’mûn foundation supports Moroccan visual and literary artists and also puts together educational programs for women and children.

The Six Senses Soneva Kiri in Koh Kood, Thailand, is made up of no less than 35 villas. Each comes with its own private pool and is built with locally and sustainably sourced wood.
Situated 350km southeast of Bangkok, Koh Kood is the fourth largest island in Thailand. However, it remains almost completely preserved from rapid and chaotic urban development, and is home to less than 2,000 residents.
Emphasizing Slow Life and sustainability the Six Senses Spa offers treatments based on locally sourced products; think bamboo mist shower and thai herbal candle massages. The hotel also receives visiting practitioners, specialists in their own field of wellness, from Japanese Reiki to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. At Soneva Kiri, guests can also benefit from private yoga and pilates lessons, as well as meditation sessions and Chinese tai chi classes.
