Winds of Change

Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in the dreamy beach town of Sidi Kaouki, this villa brings some boho luxury to the Moroccan coastline. Located in a quiet locale without neighbours, and surrounded by sea and greenery, you'll feel at peace here.

The sea-facing swimming pool is sure to be the first thing you'll notice as you wander about by day, as it acts as a centrepiece around which the main house and four bungalows are arranged. By night, you can look up and admire the Milky Way, thanks to the lack of light pollution in this charming location.

All of the communal spaces are in the largest of these homes, while the bedrooms are located in the separate quarters, each with its own bathroom and private terrace. This unique configuration is great for offering a little privacy to members within a large group, but there are plenty of spaces outside in which you can reconvene. As well as the pool, the alfresco dining table is sure to see plenty of use, particularly as there's a private chef among the home's dedicated team of workers that can whip up tasty fare made from local ingredients.

When you want a day at the beach, there's a sandy spot mere metres from your home in what is considered one of the best kitesurfing destinations in the world, where you can arrange kitesurfing as well as surfing lessons. Why not challenge the group to a game of pétanque or Mölkky on the beach – equipment provided by your host?

Other popular activities in the area include horse riding, camel riding, and quad biking. When you're ready to explore, the port town of Essaouira and its old town take just over twenty-five minutes to reach in the car, too.
