Rebali Riads

Rebali combines the space and privacy of renting a villa with the service and ease of a boutique hotel. There are 6 riads surrounding the gardens and pools: the three smaller ones share a large (15m-50ft) pool and shallow plunge pool – great for kids or relaxing – and the other three riads have private pools.

As well as the pools there is a professionally managed hammam with a traditional steam room and two treatment rooms for massages, pedicures etc.

All the riads have fully equipped kitchens so you can make food yourself but there is also a service kitchen with chef who will prepare food for you on request and serve it in your riad, by the pool or on your roof terrace. The chef also runs excellent cooking lessons and demonstrations that include a shopping expedition to the food souks of Essaouira. Breakfast is included in the price for all bookings and there are also a handful of cafes and restaurants in easy walking distance.

Each riad has a private garden with palms, lawns and terrace, and is equipped with outside dining furniture, sunbeds and exterior showers. There is also a large shared garden with space for a game of boules or to kick a ball.

There is a tennis court which is free for guest use and we can arrange tennis coaching on request (best to ask when booking as coach not always available).

Whilst each riad is unique they are all designed around an enclosed dining courtyard with a remote controlled glass sliding roof. They also all have roof terraces with stunning 360 degree views of the beach, the sea and the surrounding countryside – a fabulous place to have breakfast or to curl up with a book.

All sitting rooms, snugs and cinema rooms have open fires and there is underfloor heating throughout the villas.

Bedrooms have superking-sized four-poster beds (master suites only) or superking-sized doubles that can be converted into two full-sized singles if required. All are equipped with Egyptian cotton bed linen, towels and robes. Pool towels are also provided.

There is plenty to do in Sidi Kaouki itself with many cafes and restaurants within walking distance as well as the beach with watersports, camel and horse riding and scope for fabulous walks. Essaouira is a 25 minute drive away (£8 in a taxi) and has fabulous shopping in the souks and an abundance of restaurants to suit all budgets. There is a golf course around 15 minutes drive away and a vineyard to visit to sample wines and eat in their restaurant.

Rebali makes a fabulous beach holiday combined with an immersion into Moroccan culture
