Luxury holidays in Oualidia

Sleepy seaside village Oualidia sits on a crescent cove between Morocco’s Atlantic coast and a saltwater lagoon. It was deemed the country’s first royal beach in the 1940s, by King Mohammed V, and Marrakchi holidaymakers have followed suit ever since. And we can see why – caramel-coloured sands, russet cliffs, powder-pink flamingos and bright fishing boats decorate the landscape. Oualidia’s world-class oysters are something to write home about, but the superb surf is a well-kept secret.

When to go

Although Oualidia has year-round warm waves, we like spring or autumn for watching the migratory birds take flight.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Marrakech Menara Airport and Casablanca International Airport are both two-and-a-half hours away by car.

  • Automobiles

    A car isn’t hugely necessary if you plan to stay put in Oualidia, especially as transfers and drivers are easily arranged. Marrakech, Casablanca and Essaouira are between two and three hours’ drive away.
