Preparing your stay
How to get to the Hameau des Cascades?
By car from Essaouira:
Drive to Sidi Kaouki, then take the coast road through the village, continuing southwards. After 13 km, you'll come to the Oued d'Aghbalou, which you'll recognize by its greenery and the blue sign indicating the waterfalls.
The Hameau des Cascades is 200 m after the bend, just behind the first houses.
By car from the Agadir road:
If you're coming from Agadir on the main road, drive through the village of Smimou for another 5 km. A sign will indicate Ait Idir on your left. Follow this road for 5 km to reach the village, where you'll see only a few roadside stores. Don't take the track to Iftane, but follow the tarmac road. It won't be long before you pass a pass with a magnificent view of the sea (2.5 km). Drive past the mosque, the hamlet is a little further on the left.
By private cab: We can organize transfers from any city in Morocco, just ask us.
By bus: Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to reach the village by bus.
Getting around on site
To get around once at Hameau des Cascades, we recommend you come by car. We can recommend car rental agencies in Essaouira.
While there are a few shared cabs from the douar to the village of Smimou, there is no public transport to Sidi Kaouki or Essaouira.
If you don't plan to travel far, we can always book you a cab to Essaouira, Sidi Kaouki, Imsouane, or any other location.
What to do in the area
Many activities are possible in the area around the house, either independently or in partnership with local service providers. Don't hesitate to ask us for more information or contacts.
Nearby walks: the beach is a 15-minute walk away, and the Sidi Mbarek waterfalls are 20 minutes away.
Hiking and sightseeing
To discover the region, there are some wonderful half-day and full-day hikes available. We can recommend Ottmane to guide you along the trails.
- from the hamlet to Iftane beach
