Hotels in Essaouira
Marrakech-Tensift-El HaouzA sleepy coastal town for much of the year, windswept Essaouira transforms in spring and autumn into one of Morocco’s most charming destinations. Just a two and a half hour’s drive from Marrakech, this former hideout of rock stars and rebels is now a laid-back seaside retreat, where the slower pace of life calls for gentle medina strolls, leisurely sampling of the catch of the day and restorative nights in luxurious boutique hotels.
When to go
Food & Drink
Tastebud-tingling tagines and freshly grilled seafood are on offer, of course, but Essaouira also plays host to risk-taking kitchens and cosmopolitan restaurants. Elizir whips up enticing fusion fare in a quirky vintage setting. Romantic Umia is just the thing for a tête-à-tête: watch the chefs at work from the intimate, pared-down dining room.
