Camping & Hôtel Le Calme — Budget-Friendly Coastal Escape near Essaouira
Sea breezes, big skies, and a peaceful base a short hop from the ramparts and surf of Essaouira.
Address: village idaougourd bouzama Bp 53, 44005 Essaouira, Morocco
A Breezy Arrival
Essaouira’s trade winds carry the scent of salt and eucalyptus as you roll into Camping & Hôtel Le Calme. It’s a mellow spot to exhale after the medina’s music — a mix of camping pitches and simple rooms that keep costs in check while giving you space to spread out under open skies.
“By day, surf and souks; by night, stars and quiet.”
Where “Le Calme” Sits (& Getting Around)
Located outside the center, the address keeps you close to Essaouira’s wide beaches and day-trip routes while staying quiet at night. Petit taxis and ride services make the hop into the medina easy; if you’re self-driving, you’ll appreciate stress-free parking and quick access to the coastal road.

Atmosphere & Guest Vibe
Expect a laid-back mix: vanlifers comparing coastal stops, surfers rinsing boards, and couples trading tips on windy-day cafés. Evenings skew quiet, with starry skies and the occasional guitar around a lantern. It’s called “Le Calme” for a reason.
Pitches, Rooms & Practicalities
Bring layers — ocean breezes cool quickly after sunset. A headlamp helps around camp, and a portable battery keeps phones topped up between cafe stops. If you’re camping, pack tent stakes that handle sandy or hard ground; if you’re in a room, an eye mask and earplugs make early sleep easier on windy nights.
Essaouira-Specific Tips
- Wind check: Mornings are calmer for beach walks; afternoons suit kites and surf.
- Medina lunch: Try grilled fish by the port — agree the price before grilling.
- Argan cooperatives: Buy from reputable women’s co-ops inland for quality.
- Cash helps: Handy for taxis, roadside fruit, and parking attendants.
- Respect dunes: Stick to paths; coastal ecosystems are fragile.
