Ecrin de Mogador

Ecrin de Mogador in Bouabout (near Ounagha) is a calm, countryside guesthouse-style villa built around an inviting pool and garden.

Peaceful setting: The property sits outside Essaouira in a rural area, making it feel like a true retreat rather than a city stay. It’s a good fit if you want quiet mornings and relaxed days between outings.

Rooms designed for groups: Ecrin de Mogador is set up with six double bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom and independent toilet, which helps groups spread out comfortably. Many rooms open toward the pool area, keeping the layout social and easy.

Pool-and-garden lifestyle: A central swimming pool anchors the guest experience, with outdoor spaces that encourage long, slow afternoons on-site. The garden setting is often described as lush and full of birdsong.

On-site meals: Breakfast is included, and the house can arrange table d’hôtes meals on request, which is especially convenient given the countryside location. Some stays highlight traditional Moroccan dinners served in a Berber-style tent.

Good base for Essaouira days: You’re within driving distance of Essaouira’s beach and the old medina, so you can pair ocean-and-souk time with a quieter return to Bouabout at night.

Remote-by-design: Because it’s not in town, a car (or pre-arranged transport) may be important for flexibility. Quick restaurant-hopping in Essaouira is less spontaneous from here.

Not a full-service hotel: This is more of a hosted villa/guesthouse experience, so travelers expecting constant front-desk style support may find it simpler and more independent.
