Bubble on the Beach - Dar Danse

The location, decor, style were fantastic. Views over the sea, incredible deserted beach in front of you. Fantastic pool amidst gardens. On top of that the staff and hosts are really what makes it so special. Julianna and her team couldn’t do enough for us and made our stay so memorable. Thank you!

Nothing to report.

Great local food including own vegetables, animal rescuing farm. Clear and nice pool.

The missing proper road up to the hotel. Nevertheless the personal was helping and communicating via WhatsApp.

the most perfect getaway, full of charm and character! provides such a stunning place to have the most relaxing, calm holiday, absolutely perfect to unplug from technology (wifi in the main living room/eating area and none in the rooms, no TV in the rooms) which exactly what we were after! We were greeted by staff as soon as we parked, who kindly took our luggage and made us moroccan tea on arrival.The stunning building looks out onto the ocean, giving you lovely views wherever you are on the property. We loved the architecture of the place. The facilities are stellar, their pool is gorgeous, gardens are immaculately maintained, rooms are incredibly clean and beautifully decorated, their rescued animals (donkeys, cats, dogs etc) are always around to go and say hello to (and you’ll often have a cat come to play with you at breakfast!) The beds are huge, fresh water and towels left in your room daily. Julie and her team have done a fantastic job of re opening the hotel, providing excellent service, organising anything you need (activities, recommendations in the nearby town, anything you need can be sorted) she kindly organised quad bikes and a beach horse ride for us, as well as feeding us the most delicious three course dinners, and an amazing breakfast spread every morning. They also have a lunch menu depending on how many meals you want at the hotel, at very reasonable prices (€9 for a burger and fries for example) When we wanted to venture into Essaouria (45 min drive away) Julie and her team provided excellent recommendations for food and drinks which did not disappoint! They also offered to sort transport for us if we weren’t up for driving. We were truly looked after all the time.donations: They also have a relationship with a local orphanage that they bring donations to, if you have any unneeded baby/children’s clothes or toys.We couldn’t recommend this beautiful corner of Morocco more, it’s truly a magical place to stay and relax!

Our stay at Dar Danse Hotel was an absolute gem and a highlight of our trip to Morocco. From the very first moment, we felt not only warmly welcomed but truly treated like family members. As a small family traveling with our daughter, we were delighted by how caring and attentive the entire team was.The location of Dar Danse Hotel is simply magical – set directly by the sea, far from the crowds, making it the ideal place to unwind and recharge. Despite its secluded location, we were never bored. We spent our days by the breathtaking pool overlooking the ocean, exploring the beautifully maintained gardens, or strolling along the stunning beach just beyond the entrance gate.A special highlight for our daughter was the lovely animals on the property, especially the friendly dogs, with whom she spent countless happy hours playing in the garden. And the food – simply fantastic! Each day, we were treated to fresh, regional delights prepared with so much love, constantly surprising and delighting us.A heartfelt thank you goes out to the wonderful team whose warmth and friendliness made our stay truly unforgettable. We’ve found our little paradise, the „Bubble on the Beach“ and will definitely return! See you soon, thanks for all Julie!

Location was perfect with beautiful property and amazing view. Staff were very friendly and we felt very much welcomed and at home. It was the perfect getaway for a week of just relaxing and being tots a family.

The hotel is by the sea with almost nothing around. Very quiet and relaxing environment with only handful of rooms. Staff are very attentive and helpful. Food was delicious. Dinner is a 3 course menu which changes everyday.

Dar Danse is a beautiful and special place. We wanted a spot to switch off and relax for a few days, and this was perfect. Julianna, Mike, and their team made us feel at home right away and really took care of us. We loved the personal touch in everything.The food was delicious and always freshly made with local ingredients. Our room and the terrace were highlights—getting sun all day, perfect for yoga with an ocean view, reading, and enjoying Moroccan coffee.We also booked a Hammam and massage, which were so relaxing. We can’t recommend Dar Danse enough and hope to be back very soon!

The WiFi connection only worked in the main salon, which is something they are already working on to improve. However this didn’t really bother us as our main goal was to disconnect for a while. They always try their best to make everything possible though :)

❤️❤️❤️This place is magical! This magic is created by the location of the hotel, its atmospheric decor, delicious food, the wonderful energy of its caretaker - Julianna (a beautiful soul...) but above all the mission and idea that guides it. Julianna has a big heart and runs a sanctuary for dogs and three donkeys and a horse next to the hotel. Walking with the dogs gave us a lot of joy and that soothing feeling that you can do something good during your stay. I have traveled half the world, but I have never visited a place run in such balance and Love for people, animals, nature... No words can describe this experience. You have to feel it! I recommend it with all my heart ♥️ And if you are passionate about horse riding, do not hesitate for a moment. Julianna organized for me a "gallop of a lifetime" at sunset on a 20 km spectacular beach, 10 minutes from the hotel by car. Wonderful, beautiful, well-groomed horses, both physically and emotionally (which is rare in commercial studs in Arab countries). The man who trains them is a true virtuoso and passionist. We will definitely come back!!! Thank you, I am full of gratitude for this time?✨✨???

We had a really memorable two-night stay at Dar Danse, and we cannot recommend it highly enough!From the moment we arrived, Julie’s warm and accommodating nature made us feel completely at home. Amin was incredible with our son, going above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and cared for. The massage and hammam experience were a nice touch. The team even thoughtfully scheduled it so I could enjoy the sunset with my family in between treatments!When our son got tired before dinner arrived, the staff graciously brought the meal to our room without hesitation. Their kindness and attentiveness were deeply appreciated.Dar Danse is stunning. The property itself is filled with charm, from the inviting smell of incense throughout to the cozy fire indoors (a lovely touch in January) and the fire pits outside that create a magical atmosphere in the evenings. The quiet beaches are literally just a stone’s throw away at the end of the lovely gardens.Animal lovers will be happy here with donkeys, a horse, many dogs (which you are encouraged to take for a walk). Also Chameleons and Mr CousCous the cat! If you can, we highly recommend booking the big rooftop room. The 360-degree panoramic views are simply breathtaking, and waking up to that scenery from bed was a dream.The food was exceptional and fussy kids can be well accommodated. Every meal felt like a treat.Dar Danse is a truly special place, and we left feeling really nourished. Thank you, Julie, Amin, and the whole team for an unforgettable stay! We hope to return soon.

Dar Danse is a magical hidden gem that exceeded all our expectations! Traveling with two small children, we were thrilled by the spacious grounds that gave them plenty of room to play and the stunningly large pool, which quickly became a family favorite.What truly made our stay unforgettable was the incredible hospitality from Juliana and her wonderful team. They went above and beyond, preparing delicious meals and even accommodating our request for fresh fish from the local market, which they turned into a fantastic BBQ by the pool.One of the highlights of our trip was the horseback riding at sunset, organized by the hotel—a breathtaking experience we’ll never forget. They also showed us their heartwarming donkey and dog shelter, which was such a meaningful and unique touch.Breakfast each morning was another highlight, with freshly cut fruits, omelets, pancakes, and fresh juice that were as delicious as they were beautifully presented.Dar Danse is perfect for families, offering relaxation, adventure, and a personal touch that makes you feel at home. We can’t wait to return!

We had the most wonderful, tranquil experience at Dar Danse! The hotel is located absolutely beautifully at the beach, very calm and private. The beach is stunning! All of the staff is super friendly and welcoming, it felt warm and familial. We also loved their efforts and devotion to caring for their rescued animals! You could tell how loved they are!Our stay really felt like stepping out of our usual hectic world. We will definitely come back!

This is a secluded gem, far from the madding crowd. It is a magical spot with panoramic views of the ocean. You truly feel in your own bubble. The owners and their team went out of their way to ensure we a restful and wonderful stay. The home cooked meals and traditional mint tea were absolutely delicious :)

Absolutely everything about this magical place is perfect - food, rooms, location, incredible pool, lovely people. It's like they've taken all of my favourite things and made a place out of them all. It wouldn't be fair to call this a hotel because it's so much more than that. It's the place you wish you could call home, if only you were lucky enough. But for a few short days, they make you feel like it could be ❤️

Amazing view specially from the penthouse. Amazing pool specially for the kids. Staff are amazing and very helpful.

All is good

This “bubble” was the perfect place to come and disconnect from everything. The place is magical, and the scenery is truly beautiful. There is not much around the hotel, which gives it its privacy, whilst the staff proposes a multitude of activities in case we get bored. The sunset view while dining is a magical experience, and the food is AMAZING. The staff is also very welcoming and always there if you need anything, you really feel at home. We really hope we can come back one day!

Nothing!

Julie, Miki and their team went absolutely above and beyond to make our visit to their little paradise unforgettable. Beautiful location, great food, lovely people and superb (part-time) babysitters! We can definitely recommend.

delicious food, super surroundings, friendly staff

Staff Adoul is absolutely helpful and friendly!!

No hot water, shower drainage was out of order, couldn’t take shower during our stay!

We loved the staff and the hospitality! The food was amazing and the whole atmosphere the staff created was extremely welcoming! I would hire them all and think they all should get a promotion;-) Also the location of Dar Danse is incredible! You get kilometers of beach to yourself! It’s fascinating! Even the place is not taken care of (by the owner) it’s a very special experience I don’t wanna miss.

The place used to be a really great hotel! But it looks like there is no maintenance over the last few years… the wood is all damaged, the iron rusty and the boutique has clothes from literally 10 years ago all damaged and dusty! not exaggerating! It’s impossible for the staff to take care of all the damage, which is truely sad! In a few years it will become a ghost hotel if nobody invests some money! Someone should save that incredible place soon! Meanwhile prices shouldn’t be that high for what You get in the end. One feels a bit exploited..

The staff was amazing, kind and available. The food is great.The property is a little piece of heaven, if you want to be disconnected from the hustles of the world. Special thanks to Abdou and Simo!
