Wonderful Oualidia

 

There are few places in the world with a setting as magical as Oualidia (pronounced Wa-li-dee-ya).

 

The village is situated north of Essaouira and south of Casablanca, on the wild Atlantic coast of Morocco. Here, the ocean cliffs give way to a five-mile long tidal lagoon. At the southern end of the lagoon lie soft sandy beaches and the ruins of a royal summer palace. To the north, the lagoon winds its way through a protected nature reserve of oyster farms, wetlands and bird habitats.

 

For over 15 years Villa La Diouana has been the place to stay in Oualidia. Perched on a clifftop close to the town centre, with a 25,000 sq ft garden, infinity pool and some of the finest views in Oualidia, La Diouana combines the comfort of a boutique hotel with the privacy of a private villa.

 

Prepared meals are our speciality. Our chef Fatima will be delighted to serve you delicious dishes, from seabass, spider crab, paella, char- grilled kebabs and chicken and olive tagine to vegetarian couscous, vegetable salads and many other Moroccan and Mediterranean dishes, including child-friendly options, all at modest prices.

 

The villa has 6 bedrooms, including a luxury penthouse, and sleeps 12 people. Maid service is included.
