Ocean Vagabond

The hotel is just 100 yards from the beach, and a short walk from the old medina. There are 14 rooms, each with a marble bathroom and private terrace, and the public areas comprise a cosy bar, several small living rooms, a reading room and a terrace with views of the medina and the bay of Essaouira.

There is also a hammam, a massage room, and a small swimming pool in the garden. The hotel’s restaurant looks onto the garden and serves local and Mediterranean cuisine.

A few minutes’ walk along the beach is the hotel’s beach club and surf school. The latter specialises in surfing, windsurfing and kite-surfing.
