Essaouira is a delightful 18th Century seaside town, formerly known as Mogador. The old town is enclosed by fortified walls, with distinctive white and blue houses alongside a series of wide sandy beaches backed by sand dunes and it is a popular destination for windsurfing. The town’s main square is filled with cafes and meandering walkways lead to the souk (market) excellent for buying jewellery and spices, and the town is also noted for beautifully crafted woodwork made from thuya, a mahogany-like hardwood. Also worth visiting is the harbour and watching the wooden fishing boats bringing in their day’s catch and the fish restaurants are highly recommended.

We are delighted to introduce these properties to CV clients who we are sure will enjoy the shops, restaurants and beaches of this interesting location, the flexible catering that these villa offer and the high level of service offered by this very special hotel.
