Set on a vast estate, not far from the sea and Essaouira’s historic Medina, this villa is a real gem. With panoramic views of the Atlas Mountains, Atlantic Ocean, and surrounding countryside, it’s a picturesque place to unwind. Step inside to discover a home that’s packed with colour and character – a little rustic in places, yet always charming. The pool serves up spectacular scenery as you swim, and there’s a spa with a hammam and massage room for when you really want to relax. And for a change of pace, you’ll find two great beaches nearby – Sidi Kaouki and Azro – where the Atlantic breeze makes for some superb surfing.

About Morocco
Tantalising Morocco is truly beguiling. Where do we start? There's so much to charm visitors. Let's begin with exotic Marrakech's red city made of beaten clay which glows beautifully in the sunlight. And we can't talk about Morocco without mentioning the intriguing, meandering alleys of the medinas such as the ones in medieval Fez. In contrast, glitzy and modern Casablanca is more like Miami with its grand Art Deco buildings....

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.
