Rebali combines the space and privacy of renting a villa with the service and ease of a boutique hotel. There are 6 riads surrounding the gardens and pools: the three smaller ones share a large (15m-50ft) pool and shallow plunge pool - great for kids or chilling out - and the other three riads have private pools.

As well as the pools there is a professionally managed hammam with a traditional steam room and two treatment rooms for massages, pedicures etc.

All the riads have fully equipped kitchens so you can make food yourself but there is also a service kitchen with chef who will prepare food for you on request and serve it in your riad, by the pool or on your roof terrace. Breakfast is included in the price for all bookings and there are also a handful of cafes and restaurants in easy walking distance.

Each riad has a private garden with palms, lawns and terrace, and is equipped with outside dining furniture, sunbeds and exterior showers. There is also a large shared garden with space for a game of boules or to kick a ball. A tennis court is planned tucked in behind the hammam for guest use.

Whilst each riad is unique they are all designed around an enclosed dining courtyard with a remote controlled glass sliding roof. They also all have roof terraces with stunning 360 degree views of the beach, the sea and the surrounding countryside - a fabulous place to have breakfast or to curl up with a book.

All sitting rooms, snugs and cinema rooms have open fires and there is underfloor heating throughout the villas.

Bedrooms have king-sized four-poster beds (master suites only) or king-sized doubles that can be converted into two full-sized singles if required. All are equipped with White Company Egyptian cotton bed linen, towels and robes. Pool towels are also provided.

Reviews:

We really enjoyed Rebali Riads. We thought location, style, accommodation, food, and very helpful staff completely hit the spot for us. We liked Sidi Kaouki as it was so quiet and yet 20 mins from Essaouira. We're hoping royal air maroc starts flying there so we don't have the Marrakech transfer, although on the way back we did see goats in trees. Martin D Jan 2012

Sidi Kaouki was really good for us. A beautiful beach and the town was small but there were good places to eat and plenty to do. Mrs M, Jan 2012

Excellent. Monica was an exemplary manager and nothing was too much trouble. She was efficient and friendly and you really felt like you were a welcome guest. The riads were fantastic and we couldn’t have asked for more. Sidi Kaouki is a small place but has all you need if you are looking for a quiet relaxed and chilled out holiday. Jo W jan 2012

Very beautiful riad with spacious rooms, great bathrooms and nice gardens, fabulous and reasonably priced food, nice extras (hammam, cooking trip) also reasonably price, very pleasant staff, great location. Fiona R Nov 2011

"The Rebali Riad was AMAZING! We want to go back now and stay there forever. The chef was fantastic and cooked us an amazing meal on our last night. And his assistant chef was also fab and very kind natured! I wish we had made more effort to learn their names. I hope you can pass on our sincere thanks. The accommodation everywhere else was also fantastic - but not quite with the same wow factor. This isn't a weakness. We were just very spoiled at Rebali." Peter T, Nov 2010

"Just wanted you to know that we had the most perfect trip we could have hoped for to Morocco, what a wonderful place you have created there. Everyone at the riads was welcoming, helpful, and genuinely interested in helping all their visitors have a great stay, which was really very touching. Mohamed is a star, as you already know, and the whole team deserve congratulations and praise for all they do. The accommodation was first class, and enchanting. We totally enjoyed all the food, the friendliness, and of course, the landscape and riding opportunities. We were blessed with perfect weather, and made a great trip to Essouria, which was everything you said it would be and more." Maureen B Nov 2010

"We had a fantastic time at Rebali Riads. We can't speak more highly of the staff and their polite and considerate manners. The food was delicious and the standard was always excellent whether it be breakfast or dinner. Everywhere was maintained immaculately which made our stay most pleasant. With this being Nigel's and my first holiday for five years and the first for years that we haven't self-catered, it was such a relaxing time for us all, especially me, not having to do the usual household chores! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Kandousi and the boys learnt a lot from his cookery lesson. (Me too, but I was washing up as he finished with things!) We chose anchovy’s and sardines (freshly caught, of course) as a starter, followed by goat tagine. It was all delicious. On Kandousi's day off we went to Windy Kaouki, which was pleasant, but we preferred the food that we had at Rebali." Hermione L Oct 2010

"Rebali Riads was a brilliant place to stay, we were definitely not disappointed. The food was fantastic - we really looked forward to dinner each night! The villa/riads were great, offering just the right levels of privacy v hotel service." Zoe P, Sept 2010

"Excellent accommodation, very nice food, very helpful staff and manager" Peter E, Sept 2010

"Lovely place, perfect for a private group like ours" Michael M. October 2009

"Rebali Riads, fabulous place, wonderfully put together, Matt and Sam a great asset to you. They were extremely welcoming and knowledgable of the area. We felt they were on hand if we needed but completely unobtrusive if not" Catherine F. April 2010
