Le Jardin Des Douars
A countryside ksar-style retreat twenty minutes from Essaouira, with two heated pools and a kitchen garden feeding its own restaurants.
Le Jardin Des Douars sits in the hills above the Oued Ksob valley, twenty minutes outside Essaouira and sheltered from the coastal wind that defines the town itself. Built in fortified-village (ksar) style, it spreads thirty-one rooms, suites and private villas across botanical gardens, with two heated pools, a full hammam spa, and wellness classes from yoga to breathwork.
Its own organic garden supplies both restaurants, and the property doubles as a popular wedding venue — worth knowing if you want a quieter stay. For a couple of nights out of the medina, tied together with an ecotourism and hiking programme in the surrounding hills, it's the most complete countryside option near Essaouira.
