Al Bouhaira Abyad: The White Lagoon
Your Maison d´Hôtes (Little Hotel) in Essaouira
The Maison d'Hôtes Al Bouhaira Abyad – "The White Lagoon" – is centrally located in the heart of Essaouira.
Free parking is available directly at the hotel for guests arriving by car or motorbike and you stay connected with free, fast Wi-Fi. All rooms are easily accessible by elevator.
From Al Bouhaira, you can explore all parts of the city in a short distance: The medina (old town) is a 15-minute walk or a 3-minute taxi ride (approximately €0.80 per ride) away. A walk to the beach takes about 20 minutes, and a taxi ride takes less than 5 minutes. In just 10 minutes by car you can reach the golf course.

Golf
The Golf de Mogador course has a decisive advantage over other courses in Morocco: its year-round mild temperatures. Even in winter, you can usually play in short-sleeved polo shirts, and in summer, thanks to its unique location on the Atlantic coast, there's always a gentle breeze; it rarely gets warmer than 28°C (82°F).
The journey from the Maison d'Hôtes to the golf course is relaxed. You load your golf bag (which can also be rented from us) into the car and can indulge your passion 15 minutes later.
As enthusiastic golfers ourselves, we would be happy to create a customized offer for you that includes all the essentials. You can find two examples here, one of which is for situations where one person plays golf and the other doesn't.
Whether you're a golfer or not, a visit to the course is definitely worthwhile. Not only because of the unique natural surroundings, but also as an opportunity to intensify your perception of the qualities of golf on a different level, even exploring the influences of quantum physics. More on this soon in the Golf section.
Eurythmie
You can also get on a different level through eurythmy; "eu" is ancient Greek for harmony.
The harmony between body, soul, and spirit, between thinking, feeling, and willing, can be experienced through the ethereal movements of eurythmy. Learn more under the Eurythmy tab.
Essaouira and its countryside
Following our philosophy of giving our guests the best possible impression of daily life in Morocco, we chose the residential area of Al Bouhaira Abyad as the location for our property, rather than the medina or the beach.
Berberlands - Ecotourism aims to introduce interested individuals to Essaouira, its surroundings, and Berber culture in the most natural way possible.
Because of our similar philosophies and because we are a good fit as individuals, you can now book excursions from Berberlands - Ecotourism in conjunction with your stay with us. You can find out more about the available excursions here.
Impressions
During the redevelopment of the old Mellah quarter in the Medina of Essaouira, some elements were reminiscent of the art projects of the artist couple Christo and Jeanne-Claude.
