Welcome to Gîte Karima
Founded in 2011 by Dr. Marrakchi, Gîte Karima was born from a heartfelt vision: to create a warm, peaceful, and authentic place at the heart of a region blessed with natural beauty, strong traditions, and year-round sunshine.
Located just 5 km (3.1 miles) from the center of Berkane, in northeastern Morocco, the guesthouse is nestled between fragrant orange groves, the scenic Beni Snassen mountains, and the Mediterranean coast — offering a true escape from the ordinary.
Designed as a haven of calm and hospitality, Gîte Karima welcomes you with a family-friendly atmosphere, lush gardens, an outdoor swimming pool surrounded by nature, and a restaurant (available on request) serving generous local cuisine prepared with fresh regional ingredients.
The air-conditioned guest rooms are tastefully decorated and equipped with satellite TV, private bathrooms with shower, and free Wi-Fi throughout the property. Shared lounges are available for relaxing, reading, or working in a serene environment.
You can also enjoy leisurely walks through our private 5-hectare farm filled with clementine trees — a peaceful and green retreat for nature lovers.

While Gîte Karima is primarily a peaceful place for rest and rejuvenation, it also serves as a charming venue for special events such as:

These occasions are held in our celebration hall and flower-filled garden areas, always with respect for the calm and comfort of our other guests.
