Tranquility Meets Adventure

Essaouira is a captivating coastal gem, beloved for its breezy charm and deep cultural roots. The fortified medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, weaves together centuries of history—where whitewashed walls and blue shutters echo a blend of Phoenician, Roman, Arab, and European influences. Wander its winding alleyways and you’ll find artisan shops, vibrant markets, and a spirit that feels both timeless and alive. This laid-back city has long drawn artists and musicians, and its windswept beaches attract surfers and free spirits from around the world—making it the perfect backdrop for both stillness and adventure.

This is a city that has long drawn creatives and free spirits, where music flows through the streets and the sea calls to surfers and wanderers alike. The energy is relaxed yet inspiring—perfect for women seeking both peace and playful discovery. Whether you're soaking up history at the harbor, searching for a locally crafted treasure in the market, or simply savoring mint tea in the sun, Essaouira invites you to slow down and truly be.

Additional areas such as the shaded ping pong table, pétanque, board games, TV room and a wide selection of books will meet every desire. You can take time to enjoy a large infinity pool, a 250m² rooftop terrace with a 360-degree panorama and a shaded outdoor platform.

Each morning begins with gentle, guided yoga on the rooftop terrace, where ocean breezes and distant seagulls awaken your senses. Our yoga sessions are designed for all levels, supporting flexibility, balance, and inner calm. After practice, indulge in vibrant Moroccan meals prepared by a private chef—flavorful, nourishing, and crafted with local, seasonal ingredients.

But the magic of Essaouira extends beyond the riad. Embrace your adventurous side with guided surf or paddle board sessions along the golden coast. Ride camels through windswept dunes, laugh under the sun, and feel the joy of movement without pressure. Enjoy a traditional hammam experience where ancient rituals of steam, exfoliation, and massage will leave your body renewed and your mind at peace.
