Villa Bouzama

Forty minutes south of Essaouira's medina walls, Villa Bouzama sits in the Bouzama rural area with an outdoor pool, terraced garden, and parking — a layout that suits families who want Atlantic coastal access without the wind-scoured density of the old town.

Rooms include family configurations, each with private bathroom and air conditioning. The terrace faces the garden rather than a road, making evenings quieter than comparable properties inside the ramparts.

Essaouira's fortified seafront and the Thursday souk are reachable by car in under an hour. Check-in opens at 15:00; check-out is 11:00.
