The four-[r:MC057:bedroom] house is like a curvy white spaceship with a mix of mod plastic furniture and animal skins and skulls… a pre-historic pop-art cave. An incredibly clean and bright cave, mind you. Owners Emma and Graham deliberately avoided dusty, moody Moorish overtones but hung onto their expertise in retro interior design – the house is filled with groovy 60s finds like mushroom lamps and a Mulberry beanbag chair. Essaouira is an established set for the swords-and-sandals epics that are so popular post-Gladiator so the house is often booked by film folks. Ridley Scott’s DP stayed here when filming 'Kingdom of Heaven', with the town filling in for 12th century Jerusalem. But Dar Beida’s idiosyncratic style is not stiff and formal – it's fine for families and groups of friends. Think the Jetsons á la Maroc and you've got a sense of the fab fusion this house exudes.
