La Pause is a Berber desert retreat created by a Parisian with great taste. There's a seductive and honest authenticity to this place but it's also faultlessly stylish.
The rugged simplicity of this retreat is in step with the brutal but beautiful severity of a desert. The textures of the mud walls and the natural hand-woven fabrics reinforce the beauty of a ‘style pauvre’.
Just an hour and twenty minutes southwest of Marrakech is a proper desert. The kind where there is no water nor anything remotely green. La Pause is the kind of place straight out of Bertolucci’s film of Paul Bowles's novel; The Sheltering Sky.
Barren, rugged, foreboding... Devoid of any reassuring foliage... The setting of La Pause is everything a desert should be.
