Located close to Morocco's Atlantic coast, and the beautiful port city of Essaouira, whose 18th-century medina has been granted a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Le Jardin des Douars is a charming hotel, built in traditional Moroccan style and which oozes character.
Unlike the labyrinths of Marrakech, the medina In Essaouira, formerly known as Mogador, is much more relaxed and easier to navigate. The deep orange and burnt tones of the red city are now replaced with bright whites and blues and the sound of seagulls amongst the crashing waves. Its picturesque harbour is a hub of activity amongst local fishermen and traders, whilst the beach is also popular amongst windsurfers and kite surfers.
Lounge in the stunning gardens, swim in either of the two pools, enjoy a massage or some pampering under the dome of the hammam, or sip on a pre-dinner drink in front of a large fireplace; in short, indulge in a spot that offers the ultimate in relaxation.
Le Jardin des Douars holds 19 rooms and 6 suites, all tastefully decorated and each unique in its style. From the ocher coloured structures, set to a backdrop of green to the natural tones and handcrafted materials seen throughout. You will find armchairs adorned with Berber blankets and cosy fires for the colder evenings.
Located towards the front of the property, the suites are ideal for families or groups and can accommodate up to 14 guests. Each villa also comes with a personal housekeeper who cooks breakfast and other meals as desired. Surrounded by landscaped gardens and each with its own pool, the villas are perfect for those looking for a little more privacy.
Sophisticated but not ‘fussy’ and highlighted by Mediterranean flavours, their dishes feature the very best that French and Moroccan cuisines have to offer. Sit out on the terrace, under the shade of palm trees and enjoy a delicious lunch menu boasting fresh and lightweight dishes, such as salads with beetroot and fresh goats’ cheese, argan oil carpaccio and homemade tarts. Sunday’s are particularly special, as they host their weekly barbecue featuring grilled meats and freshly caught fish from the port of Essaouira. Not to be overlooked, their fantastic bar team also do a range of delicious cocktails, best enjoyed as the sun goes down casting golden light across the garden.
