Dar Beida, Essaouira: A mix-and-match Moroccan retreat

With a cosmopolitan feel, Essaouira has long been a draw for hippies, artists, and surfers. Its ancient medina is one of whitewashed, blue-shuttered houses, encircled by honey-coloured ramparts, all bordered by a vast sweep of golden sand pounded by Atlantic rollers. A certain amount of determination used to be required to get here; before there were direct flights it was accessed by a three-hour road journey from Marrakech. But with easyJet's recently launched route from Luton, it's poised to become a destination in its own right.
