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 and chargrilled kebabs to vegetarian tagine, 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 (14 on request). Maid service is included.
