Le Jardin des Douars

A ksar, the North African castle form, earthen walls enclosing gardens of palm and bougainvillea, is what greets you at this boutique hotel outside Essaouira, which holds a Michelin Key. Two pools, two restaurants, and a hammam fill the compound, and the adult side of each is pointedly kept separate from the under-twelve contingent. Terracotta tile floors, Berber rugs, and argan-oil products in the showers; no televisions unless you ask.
