Essaouira, full of dreams and history
Bouygues Bâtiment International has constructed the Sofitel Luxury Mogador, giving the town a luxury complex with 145 rooms and 30 villas spread over 11 hectares, including a club-house, kid’s club, disco, spa, fitness centre, golf course and more. Each of the 136 m² villas has a swimming pool, terrace, private garden… just about everything you need for a dream holiday.
Renowned in antiquity for its purple dye, in the 14th century Essaouira became a heavily fortified Portuguese trading post under the name of Mogdura (known as Mogador in English), meaning ‘well guarded’. Spices, gold and sugar cane were amongst the riches traded here. In the 18th century, a French architect and disciple of Vauban designed its port and Kasbah. Hence the name Essaouira, meaning ‘beautifully designed’. Today, as a very popular cultural destination and a paradise for kite-surfers, the town is experiencing a tourist boom.
