Four days on the beautiful beaches of El Jadida
El Jadida, between Casablanca and Essaouira and formerly known as Mazagan, is a city that was fortified by the Portuguese in the beginning of the 16th century. Its incredible cisterns, seafront ramparts, impressive gates and unique city layout testify to this rich history. Even the new town is enchanting with its stunning ocean views and lively markets. Finally, El Jadida’s sandy beach is known far and wide as one of Morocco’s most beautiful. For these reasons and more, a holiday here is a fantastic idea, especially with our selection of beautiful accommodations.
Your accomodation
> Guesthouse in the countryside : Between forest and ocean, this family residence will satisfy travellers looking for calm and authenticity. It is located between El Jadida and Azemmour on the hills facing a bay offering a splendid view over the water. In the middle of a garden of almost 2 hectares, this haven of peace is a great place to relax. It offers only 5 rooms decorated in traditional Moroccan style, and on the terrace is a pleasant solarium.
> Riad in the city center : A riad in the medina. Even if there is less of a selection of riads than in Marrakech, El Jadida has some high quality offerings of its own. We have selected a few with which we have built strong relationships over the years, chosen based on their locations and ease of access, reduced capacity, traditional cuisine, reasonable prices and of course irreproachable services and welcome. Be sure to fill us in on your tastes and needs so we can find the riad that suits you best!
