Welcome to The Moonlight Yurt our private & self contained genuine Mongolian Yurt that is both heated and air conditioned. It forms part of Kaouki Hill, a handcrafted boutique lodge spread out amongst ancient Argan trees in Sidi Kaouki. We are elevated but sheltered on a hillside a few Kms from the village and 20 min walk to the beach/surf. The grounds have views over the hills, forest and Ocean. Spend your days chilling & sunbathing and your evenings lying out under the immense night sky. Message us with any questions as it's more than just a tent. The Moonlight Yurt is a self contained paradise within its own private garden, exclusive use bathroom, kitchenette and lounge perfect for romantic couples and families alike. Relax, unwind and get away from the stresses of work & home in this magical space. Kaouki Hill’s ethos has been to work with nature whenever possible and it is reflected throughout the project. The Yurts gardens are enclosed by a vertical timber barrier stitched between the Argan trees and curved feature stone walls giving a generous garden space complete with an outdoor hot & cold shower, sun-loungers, solid roof semi outdoor kitchen & bathroom, koi carp water feature, and traditional BBQ. A 5.5m diameter raised oak platform supports the Yurt which exclusively forms the bedroom and is furnished with hotel quality bedding and a king mattress. Extra single beds can be provided in request. The walls are insulated with traditional hypoallergenic felt stabilising the temperature for a great sleeping experience. We also supply heating and air-con should the outdoor temperatures be too hot or cold. Yurts also have the ability to remove part of the roof cover allowing guests to see the sky and create natural airflow adding to the comfort inside. Being self catering the kitchenette is fully equipped with fridge, sink (hot and cold running water) and a twin electric cook top. The cupboards are full of everything you need to eat, cook and prepare your own food during your stay. We deliver breakfast around 9am each morning as a basket/Guffa full of local, continental and seasonal treats. Guests have really enjoyed our creative approach ensuring that there’s something new and different every day. It’s so generous people have plenty left for the rest of the day should you wish chill out at home. We have left water, tea and coffee for you to enjoy on arrival. The kitchen has salt, pepper, various spices and small bottles of organic Olive and Argan oil to get you started. We recommend you stock up on a few items before arrival as the shops and Sidi Kaouki village are a 45 minute walk away. Traditional Moroccan techniques fused with contemporary lines and all the comforts you need for the perfect relaxing break have been carefully curated taking what was a piece of wild desert land into your own private oasis. Our guests have told us they sleep incredibly well, immediately relax and feel as though they are transported to another world. “Our stay at Anthony and Zineb‘s yurt was one of the best, if not the best experience we had so far on AirBnB” Guests can access most parts of Kaouki Hill excluding our Villa and other rental units. We love it when guests take the time to explore the whole place. We also have shared gardens and a lounge under a Pergola. We are on-site most of the time to answer questions, help with anything or just have a chat. The Local Area..... We are just 20 minutes from Mogador Airport and you can be less than one hour from plane to door. There are local bus services running to Kaouki or even to the bottom of our road. Taxis are available too and from Essaouira and even a small rental car will make it up our bumpy dirt road. Sidi Kaouki is blessed with some of the finest beaches in Morocco endless broad sand beaches line up one after another for 10 kms between Cap Sim and Les Cascades de Sidi M’Barak. Pass Cap Sim and equally impressive beaches extend beyond the cape all the way to Essaouira. Quad bikes, horses or even Camels are a great way to explore. With great beaches often comes great surfing and from October to April Sidi Kaouki is blessed with some of the best surfing in Africa and Europe with countless spots for all levels within an hours drive or even just a few minutes walk. With La Grotte, La Couronne, La bouteille, Taguenza, Marabout, L’Oued, Imsouane, and with many many beach breaks and less consistent point breaks to choose from its a surfers paradise. It still possible to surf amazing waves alone if you are willing to travel and get up early. Summer brings smaller waves and wind….. lots of it making Kaouki one of the best advanced Kite and windsurfing spots in the Atlantic. Conditions can be challenging with occasional big waves and regular 40 knot winds its not for the faint hearted. Luckily only 30 mins away Essaouira is located in a protected bay making conditions much more suitable for beginners. There are numerous hill walks and bike trails to be discovered by foot, on horseback or for the adrenalin seekers by quad, motorbike or mountain bike. Even taking the car on the long coast road south can be a fantastic experience and if you have a 4x4 there is an off road drive that takes you from The Casacades all the way to Imsouane through farm lands, Oasis’s, remote villages and incredible beaches such as Tafedna. Kaouki and particularly the villages still retain their traditional and natural charm. Local people still lead very traditional lives here and the local lifestyle has remained almost unchanged for centuries. Fishermen can be found selling fresh fish & seafood, wild donkeys and Camels can often be seen around the village. Locals wear traditional clothing whilst browsing the internet on smart phones. You will feel as though your in another world and you are….. Africa. For tours and equipment rentals please contact us so we can recommend the best people in the area for everything from surfing to riding and from cultural experiences to cooking lessons. We advise guests to have a car or bike to get around but we can organise a taxi service on your behalf. There are also local bus services that operate regularly through out the day a ten minute walk away. We can do shopping runs on behalf of customers to the village or Essaouira, please enquire for prices. If we're in or going to town we can often pick you up or drop you off for no extra charge.
