Sofitel Essaouira Mogador Golf & Spa  

The design of Sofitel Essaouira Mogador Golf & Spa is a tribute to the sheer richness of the outstanding natural environment surrounding it. Here, guests can appreciate the sheer tranquillity of Morocco’s wide open spaces.  From any view, it is impossible to escape the beauty of the surrounding natural environment. The seamless continuity between the indoors and the outdoors is immediately noticeable when you enter the large lobby and the view stretches out beyond the golf course and across the ocean.  In complete harmony with the vast natural décor of Mogador and its wild spirit, the purity of the design expertly combines overall elegance and authenticity. Mashrabiyas and Essaouira dry stone are used extensively, forming a symbolic link between the two environments.

On-site resort amenities, include:

• A 36-hole Mogador golf course designed by Gary Player
• A dedicated health and fitness building home to the So SPA and the So FIT
• Two villas designed by Lacoste
