Golf Holidays in Essaouira

Along the Atlantic coast on the West of Morocco is the traditional Moroccan resort of Essaouira. Rather unknown to the golfing world, this beautiful part of Morocco boasts picturesque beaches, a historic culture and an excellent golf resort to suit.

The Sofitel Essaouira Mogador Golf & Spa is a superlative 5* luxury golf resort with an outstanding Gary Player designed course on site. Known as the “Wind City of Africa”, the coastal breeze from the West provides a tricky round where the natural elements will be a key factor in your score.

Essaouira has retained its traditional character which separates it from the ever popular Moroccan beach resort of Agadir. The majority of tourists visit Essaouira to explore the spice scented streets and visit the monuments of historic interest, experiencing everything that is truly Moroccan and unspoilt from tourist traps. However, due to the Sofitel Essaouira's grand opening back in 2010, the region has a new found love for golf and in particular the Golf de Mogador, a striking links style course, offering an unparraleled golf experience in Morocco.

This bright and breezy resort is an enchanting escape from the frantic city of Marrakech, offering a laid back experience in some luxurious resorts. The towns name in Arabic translates to “little picture”, a dream location for artists to be inspired, with its colourful medina, sand coloured ramparts and daunting stone gates. This majestic place is also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is well worthy of an exploration on your non golfing days.

With direct flights from the UK, Essaouira is the new golfing destination in Morocco and offers everything you would need for a relaxing and unforgettable golf escape.
