Babsa Home Nieuw

About this place

Essaouira is a wonderful place, but after the overwhelming impressions of the medina, nothing is as delightful as coming home to Babsa Home. Located just fifteen minutes from the Moroccan heritage city and the coast. Here, in the charming village of Douar Laarab, Sabine returned to what really matters after a 20-year career in the luxury market: simplicity, nature, and genuine connection. In Essaouira, she fell in love with the light, the energy, and the tranquility of the city, which ultimately led to this special boutique spot. A warm B&B and vacation home that offers genuine hospitality, making you feel right at home.

You can book one of the 5 rooms, or you can just as easily reserve the entire house. All rooms have their own private terrace or balcony, and all beds can be made up as a double or as a single. One moment you’re looking out over the olive grove; the next, you wake up to a view of the heated pool or the garden. Or maybe you’ll swim a few laps before breakfast. And no matter which option you choose, you’ll always enjoy excellent hotel service. A generous and authentic breakfast awaits, featuring msemmen (Moroccan pancakes), freshly baked bread, cheeses, granola, fresh fruit, and just about everything is homemade—from the yogurt to the jam. How about some freshly squeezed orange juice, or finishing off with a Moroccan mint tea?

After all that indulgence, you can unwind in the elegant lounge, relax by the pool, play a game of pétanque, or enjoy the peace and quiet in one of the many cozy corners of the garden. And if you’d like a tasty yet light lunch, briouates or marinated chicken skewers with fresh salads will be prepared for you, while in the evening you can join us to enjoy a Moroccan dinner together. Think roasted almonds, homemade tapenades, tagine with preserved lemon, and Moroccan pastries. The chef draws inspiration from the market’s offerings, so you’ll be treated to a different feast every day. We bet you’ll quickly get used to that heartwarming luxury!
