Three airports, two easy road routes and one included transfer. Everything you need to plan the journey from your flight to the beach.
Essaouira sits on the Atlantic coast about halfway between Marrakesh and Agadir. Getting here is straightforward, and if you book a camp the transfer is already covered.
Essaouira Mogador airport
The town has its own small airport a short drive from the centre. It handles a limited number of European routes, mostly seasonal, but if you find a direct flight it is by far the easiest way in — you can be at the beach within half an hour of landing.
Marrakesh Menara
Roughly 2.5 hours away by road and the most common arrival point, with the widest choice of flights and the best prices. The drive crosses the argan plateau and is genuinely pleasant.
Agadir Al Massira
Also about 2.5 hours by road, from the south. Worth checking if you find a better fare or if you are combining your trip with time further down the coast.
Transfers
Airport transfers are included in all our camps. Send us your flight details once they are booked and we arrange the pick-up. If you are coming for lessons only, we can still organise a transfer — just ask when you enquire.
Getting around once you are here
- The medina is walkable and closed to cars
- Our school is about 10 minutes on foot from the medina and under 5 from the water
- The riads we use are around 7 minutes from the beach
- Transport to the surf or kite spot of the day is included in your lessons
If you are unsure which airport to book, send us your dates before you buy the flight and we will tell you what works best for your week.
Airport transfers come with every NaneaKite camp in Essaouira. If you are coming for lessons only, start on the NaneaKite home page.
