Sofitel Essaouira Mogador is a treasure hidden away amongst lush natural landscapes in Essaouira. Set within gardens, moments away from the beach and golf course and with views of the Atlantic, the resort is a haven of tranquillity. Being a fairly new hotel, the natural setting is blended nicely with the sleek architecture to create a fresh atmosphere.
The hotel offers ample facilities to keep you entertained, relaxed and well fed during your stay. The two pools, spa and hammam are perfect for a bit of respite, the golf course and gym are ideal for sportier types, a tour around the garden is popular with architecture and design enthusiasts and the selection of restaurants and bars with their tempting menus will keep you coming back. If you want to venture further afield, or rather just a short drive away, you can find many local places of interest such as the Sultan's Palace and the town of Essaouira which has many museums and art galleries worth visiting.
In terms of accommodation, there is a category to suit all. The 140 luxurious hotel rooms and suites offer contemporary décor by Didier Gomez with vibrant colours and wood latticework. However, if you are after something even more exclusive, one of the 28 villas might be just up your street with a personal butler and private pool.
