Essaouira Holidays – Discover the Moroccan gem
Essaouira is a beautiful harbour town on the Africa’s North Atlantic coast, not far from the city of Marrakech, ideal for a day trip. It now represents what once used to be Morocco’s wealthiest merchant town in the 17th and 18th centuries. The town has not yet been fully discovered by the mass tourism market and it is good because it has managed to retain much of its original charm owing to its old-world glory. Today’s Essaouira offers moderate climate, long hours of sunshine and a stunning sandy beach winding along the town’s bay. The scenery on your holidays in Essarouira is complemented by the backdrop of the mountains in the background and narrow, traffic-free cobbled streets in the centre. These are full of colourful souks and craft shops amidst white-washed houses with blue shutters, wooden archways and cool shady patios.
Last Minute Holidays in Essaouira – Relaxed ambience and lovely boutique hotels
Holidays in Essaouira all about strolling along the town’s clean beach, soaking up the sun or breathing in the town’s colourful relaxed ambience.

These are mainly located either inside or outside the red old city walls and designed in finest Moroccan taste. The coast has a handful of large luxury hotels suited to bigger groups of travellers or couples searching for a romantic break with a difference. On holidays in Essaouira you will be able to enjoy the hotel’s spas, dining and sporting facilities, exquisite furnishings and remarkable architecture.
