About
Villa Kamilia Essaouira
Villa Kamilia Essaouira is a 5-star guesthouse set in the rural Douar Ait Haj Taher area, about 40 km from Essaouira airport. The property is arranged around a garden, with an outdoor pool, a sun terrace, and a spa and wellness centre. The atmosphere is quiet and deliberately removed from the medina's bustle.
Most rooms overlook the garden, and several come with balconies, fireplaces, or private pools. The hotel's free shuttle bus and car hire service make it a practical base for exploring the coast and countryside, despite the distance from town.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Free airport shuttle and car hire — The hotel runs a free shuttle from Essaouira airport, 40 km away, and offers car rental on site, making the remote location easy to manage.
- Spa and wellness facilities — A full spa centre with a Turkish bath, Jacuzzi, and a range of massages and treatments (facial, body scrub, back, head, foot) is available on site.
- Garden views and outdoor pool — Many rooms face the garden, and the property has an outdoor pool, sun loungers, and a sun terrace—ideal for quiet afternoons.
- High guest satisfaction with staff — The staff rating is 9.3, and multiple reviews single out the friendly, helpful team—some even mention a free laundry service.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Distance from Essaouira town — The hotel is in a rural area, near Essaouira but not walking distance—guests need the shuttle, a car, or a taxi. The local area is quiet, which suits some but not those who want to wander out.
- Cat7 rating is weak — One hotel category scores only 5 out of 10, possibly indicating an area of inconsistency—though the review texts don't specify what it covers.
- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 16:00 to 21:00, which can be tight for late arrivals. The free shuttle helps, but you'll need to coordinate timing.
