Thuya House is a five-bedroom villa in a thuya forest, 18 minutes by car from Essaouira. The pool is heated and faces the trees; the padel court sits on the property — no booking, no strangers.

The house is built so that ten people don't bump into each other: three day rooms, a long dining table, bedrooms split across two wings. A housekeeper is included; the cleaning happens while you're at the beach.

Outside: terrace, barbecue, sun loungers, two hectares of land. At night, you hear distant dogs and that's it.

Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour dans ce gîte. Il est construit et aménagé avec beaucoup de goût et une grande attention aux détails – on s'y sent immédiatement à l'aise. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le magnifique jardin offrant beaucoup d'intimité, parfait pour se détendre. Les hôtes ont également été très chaleureux, attentionnés et toujours disponibles. Dans l'ensemble, un endroit où nous serions heureux de revenir – recommandation absolue !

The stay was fantastic and certainly the highlight of our trip to Morocco. The villa is fantastic and the staff are charming. They were great at everything and made sure the accommodation was clean and tidy every day. They were also great cooks. The padel court was fantastic and we had a great time playing. The location was perfectly secluded. I cannot recommend it enough.

The best Airbnb I have ever stayed in! The villa is magnificent and the service is excellent. You absolutely must try the lamb tagine that the cook will prepare for you. Just buy the groceries and they will make you a delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner. The private padel court is also great and in very good condition.
