This soulful Moroccan retreat is hidden in a tranquil argania tree grove. You’ll find it easy to settle in with a private heated pool, multiple terraces, a pétanque court and soft desert tones.

You might not want to leave this sanctuary, but it’s less than 10 kilometres to the historic heart of Essaouira and the beach.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed by a business on behalf of its owner. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
