Riad Baoussala
Situated in a sea of greenery, ten to twenty minutes by taxi from Essaouira and the beaches, is a house with interesting, unusual, architecture. Unlike Essaouira, this small hamlet is sheltered from coastal winds, and a feeling of well-being prevails in this calm, peaceful, and convivial space.
Head south from Essaouira towards the surfing beaches of Sidi Kaouki, then cut seawards along a dusty track past errant donkeys, tiny farmsteads and waving children. Arriving at Baoussala will become a treasured memory.
You wouldd never guess the pinky-salmon, crenellated walls of this kasbah-inspired building are less than a decade old. Antique window grilles, mature trees and a walled garden with rambling jasmines, roses and bougainvilleas suggest a much older building - enhanced when you step into its embracing, inner courtyard. The 6 bedrooms and suites aren not grand but have been decorated with tender loving care by Dominique whose artistic, gentle touch permeates every corner. This delightful guesthouse has the feel of home and sanctum, with an accent on authenticity and simplicity. Come to make new Moroccan friends, eat wholesome food, walk barefoot through dunes, hear Gnaoua music and enjoy being a long way away from the mundane.
