My stay in Sidi Kaouki was amazing, one of those in which nostalgia already kicks in a couple minutes after saying goodbye to a bunch of landscapes and people that you can only desire to encounter again as soon as possible.

Sarah was a lovely host and made me feel welcome from the start in her gorgeous home.
I was given clear instructions on what was expected of me and Sara was there if I needed anything.
The tasks were easy and enjoyable and I had lots of free time to explore or just relax.
Thank you for having me Sara and big wave to Mohammed too 👋

My stay in Auberge the la plage was wonderful. The family who runs it is warm and helpful and they will make you feel at home from the beginning.
Sidi Kaouki is a small and beautiful town where you will find friends and unforgettable experiences, the touristic city of Essaouira is near so you can get there anything you will need.
