Essaouira , Morocco
Poised on the edge of the ocean, escape to this unique location sheltered by cliffs, bordered by green pastureland and salt-water marshes. Unique works of art, painted wooden furniture and the ancient marble floor contribute to the air of natural elegance of your room or suite with a panoramic sight on the lagoon. Try a jet shower to excite your senses or sooth your spirits with a hammam and body scrub in the carved stone spa. A feast for the taste-buds, Oualidia oysters can be served in a choice of settings. Take unforgettable walks along the sandy beaches or hire a small fishing boat to cross the lagoon with its ballet of pink flamingos.
Whilst year round Morocco is warm and sunny, the best time to visit is from mid February to June and from September to December. Coastal Morocco is cooled by breezes off the Mediterranean and Atlantic. The peaks of the Atlas Mountains are snow capped for most of the year.
