Company information
Ait Chribou Eco-dome Village represents a pioneering spirit in sustainable living and cultural preservation. This visionary project, initiated in 2015, came to fruition in 2024 through the dedication of local craftsmen and workers, embodying the essence of community and eco-conscious construction.
Our mission is clear: to create a harmonious balance between modern comforts and the timeless wisdom of nature. We champion the principles of permaculture, a philosophy that integrates land, resources, people, and the environment through mutually beneficial synergies—imitating the no-waste, closed-loop systems seen in diverse natural ecosystems. This guiding principle is evident in every aspect of our village.
From construction to daily operations, we prioritise the use of natural and recycled materials. Our eco-domes are constructed from earth and gravel, sourced directly from our surroundings, ensuring a low impact on the environment. Furniture and decor within the village boast a creative reuse of materials, such as driftwood transformed into elegant furniture pieces and ceramic tagines repurposed into innovative lighting fixtures, adding a unique charm and reducing waste.
Ait Chribou Eco-dome Village is an immersive experience into a lifestyle that respects and nurtures the environment. Our commitment to sustainability extends to our agricultural practices as well. We embrace permaculture in our organic gardens, which supply our restaurant with fresh, seasonal produce, reinforcing our dedication to food sovereignty and the health of our guests and planet.
Our village is more than an eco-friendly destination; it's a testament to community, the beauty of Berber culture, and the potential for a sustainable future. Join us at Ait Chribou Eco-dome Village, where every detail is designed with care, respect, and love for our planet. Here, you're not just visiting; you're part of a movement towards a better, greener world.
Property information
Step into the world of Ait Chribou's eco-domes, a masterpiece of sustainable architecture nestled in the Atlas Mountains' embrace. These unique structures, where eco-conscious design meets traditional luxury, are a testament to the innovative use of natural materials and building techniques. Constructed using the Cal-Earth superadobe method, our domes are a marvel of engineering, offering unparalleled thermal qualities that keep the interior comfortable year-round, thanks to the insulating properties of earth materials.
Each dome's walls are sculpted from local clay, floors laid with handcrafted bricks, and interiors adorned with handmade carpets, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. The furniture and lighting fixtures, crafted from driftwood, add a touch of rustic elegance, while the king-size beds promise restful nights under the starlit sky.
The design of our eco-domes emphasizes harmony with the environment. Large terraces offer a serene space to relax and soak in the mountain vistas, and each dome boasts its own private garden, allowing guests to connect with nature on a personal level.
At Ait Chribou, we're not just offering a place to stay; we're inviting you to experience the beauty of sustainable living in structures that pay homage to the nurturing spirit of Mother Earth. Named after local Berber women, our eco-domes celebrate the region's rich cultural heritage, blending the ancient philosophy of Gaia with modern eco-friendly practices.
