Arriving Well: The First Hour in Essaouira

The first hour of a stay sets the tone for the rest. Here is how we try to spend it with you.

Someone meets you at the gate

Cars can't enter the medina, so one of us waits at Bab Sbaa with a cart for your bags. The walk is four minutes and the best introduction to the town.

Mint tea before forms

We take you to the roof first. Tea, a few dates, the view, then the paperwork, which takes two minutes because you already gave us everything when you booked.

A map with three marks

Every guest gets a hand-drawn map with three places on it: where to eat fish at the port, where to watch the sunset, and where to buy the bread we serve at breakfast.
