All the guide books suggest Essaouira and the posters on the Moroccan branch of Thorn Tree seem to like it, but I'm not so keen--there are so many other places to go in Morocco.
But if your gf want to go to Essaouira, keep the peace.  And anyway in August Marrakech will be baking hot and you might be glad of the cooler breezes on the coast. Alternatively head for the mountains for cooler air. Ouirgane is nice, see LookLex / Morocco / Ouirgane
