The best area to stay in Akhendachou NʼAït Ouffi is along the main road that passes through the village, particularly near the centre where amenities are most accessible.
This central stretch offers the most convenient access to local shops and eateries, which are typically family-run and provide a genuine taste of the region. The layout is quite linear, following the road, with guesthouses and a few small businesses clustered together. It's a practical base for exploring the surrounding Atlas Mountains.
For couples seeking a quiet retreat with a connection to local culture, staying in a guesthouse in the village centre is ideal. Many guesthouses are traditional kasbahs or riads, offering comfortable rooms and often include meals prepared with local ingredients. You'll be well-placed for walks into the palm groves or short drives to nearby villages.
Travellers interested in outdoor activities and experiencing the natural beauty of the Drâa Valley will also find this central area suitable.
