Villa Maroc

Location: Essaouira & the Southern Coast | Morocco

This elegant seaside oasis is one of our favourite places to stay in Essaouira. Originally a surfer hangout, these days it’s a tranquil haven of whitewashed walls and splashes of blue, with exemplary service and panoramic coastal views, while also being near to everything Essaouira has to offer, including the UNESCO-listed medina, brimming with shops, restaurants and markets.

Perfect forThose looking for a boutique coastal retreat in Morocco.
