Private Morocco Concierge

Essaouira

By half past ten the trade wind has found the ramparts and the port is in motion: gulls over the blue fishing boats, kite lines above the long beach. After Marrakech, Essaouira is the exhale, a fortified town small enough to walk and wide enough to lose an afternoon in. Here we arrange a private day trip from Marrakech, from 300 USD; a two-hour surf or kitesurf introduction, from 110 USD; a horse or camel ride timed for the last light, from 120 USD; and a family day of ramparts and grilled fish at the working port, on quote. Two ten-night journeys end here: Atlantic & Agafay, from Casablanca around the table, at 9,300 USD, and The South, Unstaged, from Marrakech through the dunes, from 5,500 USD. It suits couples and families who want one calm coastal counterpoint to a city stay. Tell us your dates.
