Kaktus Hostel Background

Kaktus property has been created by two developers of luxury accommodation in Marrakech who were looking for a challenge. We wanted to create an economical and socially responsible property. Kaktus Property is more than just a simple accommodation for travelers; it is a place of experimentation into sustainable development, as well as a place for artists and culture to thrive.
Kaktus Hostel and the Environment

We are very conscious of our impact on the environment and our global footprint. In order to do this we adopt a number of principles in order to minimize our waste, electrical energy and water consumption. We start with the training and awareness of our staff. We educate them on issues of ecology and attitudes to adopt in regards to reducing our economic footprint. All of our furnishings have been manufactured by recycled materials using a DIY concept converting old useless materials into fantastic new designs. All our organic waste and part of our non-organic waste is recycled, reprocessed or reused. We are involved in many projects in the region for the rehabilitation of natural sites and reforestation and reducing desertification. Finally we are open to other projects with similar interests; if anyone has any ideas as to what we can do we’d love to hear them!

Kaktus Hostel Social Responsibility

We are very conscious about the social responsibility in regards to the quality of life of our staff. Both in their intellectual and personal development, we offer courses in foreign languages and management. We also organise tours of galleries and other cultural events to raise awareness of our staff in art and culture in general

Kaktus Hostel Culture

At Kaktus property we strongly believe that culture is important to make the world more tolerant and just. We are trying to do our best to improve and develop the culture within Morocco. We intend to launch many artistic programs (exhibitions, workshops, film, photography, readings, mini concerts… etc). We are a partner of many festivals within the city and we graciously offer accommodation and support to them.
