Riad Valmar

Riad Valmar is built around three inter-connecting courtyards and has four suites as well as a cinema room which can be made into an extra bedroom if the riad is booked exclusively. You enter into the galleried triple height dining area separated from the kitchen at one end by a 360 degree fireplace. It is part of the Rebali Riads, a collection of 6 Moroccan boutique villas in the village of Sidi Kaouki, a 20-30 minute drive from Essaouira, and 100 metres from miles of beautiful sandy beaches and stunning views over the coast and mountains. You can relax and soak up the atmosphere of Moroccan rural life, yet be only a short drive away (22 km) are the bustling souks and ramparts of Essaouira with its fabulous restaurants and shopping.

On-site are beautiful gardens, a selection of swimming pools, a traditional hammam and spa and tennis court (spring 2010).

The dining area has a remote control glass sliding roof. From the dining room an arched passage (with cloak/shower room) leads into the open courtyard with fruit trees, bistro tables and an ornamental fountain. On the other side of this courtyard is the main sitting room with TV and fireplace and also the cinema snug which can be converted into a double or twin bedroom. The courtyard also has large double doors that lead to covered loggia that run runs the length of the dining room and opens on to the pool courtyard.

The swimming pool (7m x 5m - 23ft x 16ft) is enclosed on three sides to act as a sun trap with an outside dining and sun bathing terrace alongside one edge. The private gardens can be accessed from the pool courtyard or the sitting room and have another sunbathing terrace with loungers and a gate to the hammam and communal gardens. Also from the pool terrace are stairs leading to the first floor terrace and on up to the roof terrace with great views and seating areas.

The 4 suites are on the first floor and all have private terrace access and en suite bathrooms with walk-in showers and double basins. There are two master suites with four-poster beds, marble-topped baths and double showers. Two of the suites can be connected to make a family apartment with private access and large terrace.

Whether you take an entire villa (see ) or stay in one of the suites in the larger riads, the discreet boutique hotel service ensures privacy and luxury for all guests. Breakfast is included and served by the staff.
