Le Médina Essaouira Thalassa Sea & Spa (MGallery)

★★★★★Platinum · boutiqueLuxury

Right on Essaouira's beach, Le Médina Thalassa pairs a broad seafront setting with a full thalassotherapy spa drawing on the Atlantic. Guests swim, take seawater treatments, and dine with the surf in view, a short stroll from the ramparts and medina. Larger and resort-style yet relaxed, it suits travellers who want the coast, the spa and the old town all within reach.
