Beautiful, very comfort and calm place to stay. You can feel that the owners thought about your experience and carefully selected each single detail in the room and riad. I will remember this place and definitely come back when in Essaouira. Wish the owners best of luck and kind and intelligent guests like they are themselves.

The breakfasts were lovely. I enjoyed the terrace. My room was perfect. I was especially grateful to be on the sea. My friends stayed at a Riad deeper in the Medina and they struggled every night with smoke from burning trash. So I felt so happy to have the cool seabreeze. The staff were also very kind and accommodating.

Moroccan hospitality at its very best! Breakfast is superb and dinner by the fireplace inventive, flavorful, subtle. The staff cannot be more welcoming and warm. A gem of a riad you never want to leave.

Good location in a little side street which was so interesting to walk down. Breakfast was delicious, especially the home made yoghourt which was so lovely. The riad was extremely clean and the rooms cleaned every day to a high standard. Really good shower - impressive on 3rd floor! Most of all, Hakima and her husband - so welcoming and friendly, thank you both for a really lovely stay.

Staying at this Riad was more than just accommodation—it was an unforgettable experience. By far, it is one of the best places we've ever stayed. From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed by the warm and exceptional staff, who go out of their way to make you feel completely at home. Their thoughtful recommendations for local restaurants and hidden gems to explore truly elevated our stay. The Riad itself is brimming with character and charm. While it has hosted some of Hollywood’s most famous stars, what makes it truly special are the people who run it. They pour their heart into every detail, creating an atmosphere that feels more like being part of a family than a guest. And then there’s the Hammam and Spa—simply the best we experienced in Morocco. It’s the perfect retreat after a day of exploring Essaouira’s vibrant streets. If you're looking for a place that offers not only luxury but also a deep sense of warmth and belonging, this Riad is an absolute must. If we ever come back to Morocco, it will be because of our exceptional experience at Essaouira and at Riad Watier.
