Castles in the Sand

Boutique luxury holiday villas to rent in Essaouira, Morocco… welcome to Castles in the Sand!

Explore the Atlantic coast, Essaouira, and authentic Morocco with a fabulous, stylish and luxurious, newly refurbished 200-year old ‘dar’ as your tranquil home away from home.

Each traditional style ‘dar’ (Moroccan house) is a cool, magical and quirky mix of artisanal and bespoke Moroccan design, furniture and textiles mixed with an eclectic array of antiques and funky, modern touches. Lovingly restored and decorated in white with bursts of vibrant colour and unusual artefacts, these houses are truly resplendent - all year round.

Features include: traditional Moroccan architecture paired with modern comforts and delights, dramatic yet sumptuous interiors, natural sunlight and cool shady areas to suit, generous sized bedrooms and living areas with open fires, traditional in style yet luxurious bathrooms, roof terrace with stunning views, outside dining space and washing machine. Bespoke yet family orientated.

Essaouira is Southern Morocco's most favoured coastal town - the one most easily reached from Marrakech - offering both a contrast and an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Perfect for holiday rental or photoshoots.
