Best for
- Couples visiting Essaouira
- Guests wanting a pool and spa in one place
- Travellers who prefer adults-only environments
- Those arriving by flight who need a shuttle
Less suited to
- Families travelling with children
- Guests who want an urban, walkable city-centre location
Outdoor pool and sun deck
The outdoor pool is the social centre of the lodge. A sun deck and garden furniture surround it, and the outdoor fireplace on the terrace makes the space usable well into the cooler Atlantic evenings Essaouira is known for.
Terrace, garden, and outdoor fireplace
A garden and terrace with outdoor furniture and a fireplace give the lodge a strong sense of outdoor living. The sun deck is separate from the garden, so guests can choose shade or direct light through the day.
Spa and wellness centre
The spa and wellness centre is on-site, though currently temporarily closed. Guests planning a spa-centred stay should confirm current status before booking.
On-site restaurant and breakfast
The restaurant runs room service and is the source of what guests describe as an exceptional breakfast. Dining does not require leaving the property, which suits guests who want to keep their schedule relaxed.
