Another Best of the alum, this charming microhotel in the purple-tinged Atlas Mountains is one of Gray’s go-to options in North Africa, with just nine stone pavilions in their own oasis-like setting (the three have their own private plunge pools). It’s the masterful brainchild of Italian aristocrat Prince Fabrizio Ruspoli who created this haven with his partner José Abete, filling each room with locally handcrafted furniture and designing the buildings by hand. “He measured them with simple bamboo sticks and drew what would be stained glass windows,” raves Gray. The major bonus here is Ruspoli himself, as he’s often in residence and will dragoon local musicians to play in the living room of his home next door, inviting guests to join him.
