Fodor's Expert Review Sofitel Essaouira Mogador Golf & Spa
Domaine de Mogador, Essaouira, Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco
If you're done with the cutesy but crowded scene of the medina and yearn for space and views as far as the eye can see, this Sofitel near Diabat is for you. The five-star resort with villas is set on 16 gorgeous acres, about 5 km (3 miles) south of Essaouira above the village. Families should consider a villa rather than interconnecting rooms for more privacy and space.
PROS
- heaps of facilities including three pools, four restaurants, a hammam, and kids' club
- extensive gardens
- sea views
CONS
- far from the medina, and the free shuttle stops at 6 pm
- beach is a 20-minute walk away
- some parts of the hotel look run-down
