It was stylish, clean, comfortable and in the kasbah or outer perimeter of the Medina. We stayed in the suite so it was absolutely wonderful and could easily sleep a whole family (couple and 2 kids) And the bathroom… it was large!! With a double sink. Loved it.

We had a fantastic stay! The place is very friendly, with brand-new facilities and located in a quiet area—perfect for relaxation. Mo and Anne made us feel at home with their warm, family-like approach. The highlight of our stay was the delicious chicken tajine, absolutely fantastic! Another great perk is that you can buy high-quality argan oil directly from local producers nearby. Mo was incredibly helpful in guiding us to the best products at great prices. Highly recommended!

I've stayed in more than 10 different riads/hotels in Essaouira and this is easily one of the best. It's very easy to get to and its close to everything, but not in the middle of the medina chaos. The lobby & restaurant are very chic, and the rooms are nice as well. The shower was very cute and the water was super hot. The room gets dark enough to sleep in, but also bright enough for make-up with or without the over head light.

FAQs about hotels in Essaouira

Morocco With a European Twist

Essaouira has developed from a hippie hangout to become a top Morocco beach resort with good surfing conditions. Its 18th-century medina is almost European in feel and narrow streets lead under low arches past fragrant spice stalls and local artisans selling everything from wood carvings to faience pottery.

Dotted around the souk are many traditional-style riads on Booking.com, hidden behind tiled façades and blue doors. Other Essaouira accommodation options include luxury hotels with swimming pools, cheap apartments, and B&Bs near Essaouira Airport.

Also bright blue are the rowing boats bobbing gently in small harbours sheltered by the Scala of the Port, a wide walkway with ramparts through which several historic cannons poke out. At the end is the Citadel, a small fortress overlooking Mogador Island - the largest of the Iles Purpuraires, so-called for the purple shells found in their rocks that were once used to produce dyes for Roman senator togas.

Another fortress – Bordj El Berod – lies in pieces on the long, sandy beach south of the marina. In the opposite direction the coastline is more rocky and lined by the Scala of the Kasbah, the crenellated walls protecting the medina. Horseriding and camel safaris are available on the beach and you can also visit a Berber village inland.

    A pleasant though very windy place. A charming medina. Good restaurants and plenty of fresh fish. Definitely worth having a hire car. Some lovely upmarket hotels/spas in the surrounding countryside.

    A big (and much cooler) contrast to Marrakech, Essaouira is a very traditional Berber town, but much smaller, but with lots of good eating options, (no alcohol in most!) The souk is lovely with lots of choice for everything, and the beach area very nice, but being on the Atlantic, prone to wind. We spent our 2nd evening on the sea front watching the sun go down and enjoying fresh sardines - a nice 2 day stop over.

    Mix of old town, port and beach.

    Mix of old town, port and beach. In danger of becoming a little overrun with tourists during day. All felt very safe. Loads of usual souk shops - especially notable are the wood ones (Thuya). Large gently sloping beach, good for watersports. Don't miss the port - very active during day - buy some fish and get it cooked nearby very cheaply, but can get very busy (and chaotic!). Wide range of restaurants, recommend the Ocean Vagabond at far end of beach. Taros bar is liveliest place, but drinks pricey. Note of caution : We did get get some food poisoning, difficult to be precise, but seemed to stem from one meal at a 'good' restaurant ( I won't name and shame as cannot be totally sure !?) , probably from a salad or fruit dessert ?

    At Cultural Morocco Tours, we highly recommend including Essaouira in your Moroccan journey. This charming coastal city, known as the “Pearl of the Atlantic,” offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and relaxation. Visitors can wander through its UNESCO-listed medina with whitewashed houses and blue shutters, explore the lively souks and artisan workshops, and enjoy the fresh Atlantic breeze along the city’s beautiful beach. Essaouira is also famous for its delicious seafood, vibrant music scene, and warm, laid-back atmosphere. Whether for a day trip or a few relaxing nights, Essaouira is an unforgettable stop that captures the essence of Morocco’s coastal charm. Cultural Morocco Tours

    We have been travelling around Morocco staying in top hotels and there is anything like this hotel. It is a true temple for relax in the middle of paradise. Beautiful architecture decorated with the best taste. The swimming pool is perfect and the beach is amazing with a calm sea surrounded by beautiful dunes. Great hospitality from the staff and loads of activities to do during your stay. While you are in the hotel, the rest of the world disappears. We will definitely come back.
