This is how Atlantis 12 was born — a guesthouse nestled in the Essaouira countryside, envisioned as a refuge for travelers seeking peace, beauty, and meaning.

Tucked inside a lovingly restored former Berber sheepfold, Atlantis 12 unfolds across one hectare of preserved nature, between thuya forests, Atlantic light, birdsong, and soothing silence. A charming retreat, far from the hustle and bustle, yet just minutes from the medina and the sea.

Asmae has infused the place with her gift for hospitality, her attention to detail, and her desire to offer a heartfelt welcome, rooted in Moroccan tradition and the joy of sharing.

Lahcen, for his part, has shaped the space with his artistic soul and sensibility: textures, materials, volumes, and carefully chosen objects converse to create a unique and inspiring atmosphere — ideal for both creative flow and restful retreat.

Atlantis 12 is far more than a place to stay — it’s a haven, a restorative experience, a pause.

A space to reconnect with yourself, with nature, with your creativity.
A living, evolving place — open to encounters, emotions, and silence.

Welcome to our waking dream.
Welcome home.
