    Everything. It is a beautiful little oasis. I hope it stays the same and doesn’t get bigger. Small but perfectly formed. The staff make the place very special

Company information

Le Jardin des Douars has been founded in 2004. The hotel offers 19 chambres, 6 suites, et 6 private villas. The beauty of the Jardin des Douars is nourished by the infinite kindness and helpfulness of its staff and by the natural simplicity of its welcome – a first-quality welcome but decidedly friendly, as if you were in your own holiday home.

Property information

Nestled in the heart of the Essaouira hills, sheltered from the high winds, in a magnificent natural setting formed over millennia by the Oued Ksob (river), the Jardin des Douars is a beautiful Guest Ksar (palace) dedicated to lovers of nature, authenticity, simplicity and kindness. A guesthouse of charm in voluptuous forms, constructed in accordance with Moroccan traditions and materials, combining a subtle refinement of decor with a luxuriant garden to achieve true relaxation and simplicity. A rarely experienced luxury for a discerning clientele seeking to relax with simple pleasures, either as a couple or with the family. A hideaway where you can stroll in the garden or in the nooks and crannies of the house, or be massaged and pampered under the dome of the hammam. A place to sample delicious cuisine, enjoy an aperitif in front of a grand fireplace, bask in the sun beside one of two pools or in a remote corner of a garden paradise offering absolute relaxation at all hours of the day.

Neighbourhood information

Essaouira is a little lost paradise, blessed with at least 320 days a year of sunshine, with its port, ramparts, captivating medina and endless beaches and dunes. Nearby, the famous Golf de Mogador course (36 holes designed by Gary Player). Plus, Essaouira boasts ideal winds for windsurfing and kitesurfing and many other activities (quad, horseback riding, mountain-biking, hiking...).
