Drink And Dine At Dar Nanka

Hotel restaurant It’s all very laid-back: there’s no real menu (the kitchen will accommodate most requests) and no need to book – just let the staff know your plans at breakfast time. As well as traditional tagines, you can sample European dishes such as fresh fish, grilled meats, salads, omelettes and sandwiches, all made to order. Choose between eating inside the main house, whose large sliding doors open onto the gardens, or dine outside, where the wrought-iron tables and chairs are dressed with white cloths and comfy cushions.

Dress code Think floaty: an Ozzie Clark kaftan, accessorized with the day’s souk finds.

Last orders Breakfast is an all-day affair; lunch goes on until 4pm and dinner until 11.

Room service 24 hours a day; choose whatever you’d order from the restaurant.

Hotel bar Sink into the squashy leather armchairs and admire the antique silver French till in the indoor bar or sip your tipple poolside.

Booking Dar Nanka with us

We lose sleep so you don’t.

We take every booking personally. Anything that doesn’t look right, anything that needs chasing — we’re the ones awake worrying about it, so you’re not.

Your money goes into trust

Not into our bank account. It sits with an independent trustee and is only released after you have travelled. If we stopped trading tomorrow it would still be there, and it would come back to you.

We book it all, and then check it

Flights, transfers, the room you actually chose, your lessons. Confirmed before you fly, not arranged when you land. We don’t book the cheapest transfer — drivers who turn up and speak English.

We call you before you go

Documents, visas, kit, anything you’re unsure about. A real conversation with the person who booked it, not an automated reminder.

We’re on WhatsApp the whole time you’re away

Any hour, any country. Flight moved, room not right, lessons cancelled for weather — one number, answered by someone who already knows your booking.

No obligation. We’ll come back with a full itinerary and a price.
