We enjoyed two restaurants: Le Love by Caravane on the coast, close to the famous ramparts, and Umia in the medina. Both were wonderful.
We loved Le Jardin Michel Vu, a few kilometers from Essaouira
The beaches at Essaouira and Sidi Kaouki were great for families.
Dar Baba, Hotel Bleue, Ocean Vagabond
We really like the location of our villa on the golf course - some lovely walks and lunch at the clubhouse was good . We enjoyed lunch at ocean vagabond in front of the Tagharte beatch several times. Walking in the Medina is a great experience.
