Dar Beida - Essaouira, Morocco

About this Chic Retreat

At this boutique hotel/villa an organic modern living space has been moulded around ancient sandstone columns and thuya wood ceilings and then a mix of eclectic colorful lighting and furnishings has been added, mainly from the 1960's era. Dar Beida sleeps 8 and special attention has been made to make your stay as comfortable as possible. This Chic Retreat is built around a central courtyard and comprimises 4 storeys. On the ground level there is a library connecting to a chill out room with fire place. Out in the courtyard is a fountain and rest area with a blissfully comfortable hanging chair. Although Dar Beida is only rented as a whole guests can rent it for a minimum of three nights and it is ideal for friends or couples alike.

Accommodation

On the 1st floor of Dar Beida there is a huge open plan fully-equipped kitchen/diner at one end, a living space with stereo in the middle and a moulded bedroom and shower room towards the back. The 2nd floor has 2 double bedrooms with pod fireplaces in each which can be lit to create a cosy snug. In between the bedrooms is a curved bathroom with skylight. The upper rooms also have access to a terrace, complete with cactus and an awning made of bamboo sticks. The room at the very top of Dar Beida has sliding glass doors and its own private terrace with sink moulded into the wall.

Activities

Each client at Dar Beida receives a pair of babouches [moroccan slippers] to wear in the house. Dar Beida is cleaned daily and traditional moroccan food can be cooked for you on request.

Dining

Dar Beida's kitchen has a concrete worktop with contemporary open shelving, displaying beautiful locally made dishware. A white archway leads into the dining room through which is the living room. This Chic Retreat is close to some good bakeries and fish and vegetable markets that are not too touristy.

When booking Dar Beida it is strongly recommended to request a meal to be prepared for your arrival. Tea, Coffee, Water and a Fruit Basket are provided on your arrival at Dar Beida.
