Tucked away in the lush surroundings of a wild beach lined with eucalyptus and mimosa, expect to find peace and calm in an oasis of hospitality. The design of this hotel blends chic French style with authentic Moroccan detail. Days at this luxury resort can be as laid-back or action-packed as you wish. Choose to laze around one of two pools, taking refreshing dips when needed, or head to the 18-hole golf course designed by Gary Player. With views of sand dunes and turquoise waters, it truly is a delightful setting. For golf enthusiasts, there’s even a Golf Academy run by professional golfer Benoit Willemart who’s on hand to work on your swing and putting. Youngsters can be kept active too at the Children’s Villa. The hotel has three different restaurants for plenty of variety. L’Ateliers aux Aromes combines French creativity with Moroccan sophistication, peppered with an array of wonderful spices. L’Atlantique has fresh, local seafood in a poolside setting. Le Café Kasbah features international dishes with culinary demonstrations using a wok and at tagine stations. Rooms are stylish and tranquil. Opt for a Superior or Luxury Golf View Room or choose a Suite or Villa for more space.
Close to the Medina and the beach, this hotel is perfect if you're looking for value for money in comfortable surroundings. As well as a golden sandy beach outside of the hotel, there’s also a large palm-lined swimming pool which is heated all year round. Although the grandeur of this spacious hotel may be slightly faded, the location is unparalleled. Sports enthusiasts will be happy to learn there’s a watersports centre just outside the hotel, while spectators can lie back from the comfort of their sun lounger and marvel at some of the world-class windsurfers who flock to Essaouira. Light French dishes are served poolside, whilst you can enjoy a beautiful beachfront setting at the Mediterranean Arganier restaurant. For fresh fish and barbecued cuisine, the Cote Plage restaurant is open both for lunch and dinner and serves a fresh catch of the day from a Souiri fisherman. Families may prefer to dine in Dar Dada where authentic Moroccan cuisine is prepared daily. For a pre- or post-dinner drink, head to La Scala or Mogador’s. Each room features Moroccan mosaic bathrooms and you can choose between a Standard Room with views of the medina or a Superior Room with pool view or sea view. Junior Suites have a pool view and are a great choice for couples.
