Essaouira, Morocco
The Atlantic coast

Essaouira

Wind, white-and-blue walls, and grilled fish straight off the boats.

Three hours west of Marrakech, Essaouira is the antidote to the heat of the interior — an Atlantic port town of white houses, blue shutters, and Portuguese ramparts, cooled by a constant trade wind. It is relaxed, artistic, and walkable. We arrange seafood lunches at the harbor, argan cooperatives, Gnawa music, and long afternoons on the wide beach.

Highlights
  • The walled medina and ramparts
