After a few days in Marrakech, Baoussala was heaven on earth! Dominique and Caroline are perfect hosts and took excellent care of us. Baoussala is about 15 minutes ride outside of Essaouira, down a dirt path. If you want to use the Riad as a base for excursions, you will need to hire a car or a hire a driver.... more

Coming from Marrakech in a cab, it took us a while to find the Baoussala, but remote and quiet was exactly what we were looking for. A hire car is essential, and can be organised without trouble.

My room/suite was recently totally refurbished... more

Dominique and Caroline could not have been more helpful when we were booking our stay with them, especially as a wheelchair had to be accommodated. Reasonable taxi transfers were arranged for us from Marrakech Airport. The "risk" of travelling independently was more than rewarded upon our arrival at this oasis of tranquility and style... This was not like staying at... more

My fiancee and I stayed at Baoussala for the last four nights of our holiday in May, and am happy to say it was absolutely brilliant. We arrived two days after the brand new swimming pool had just been finished, which was great as the previous couple of days had been fairly overcast and cold on the beach so we... more
