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.

    Impressive fort!

    Impressive fort! The Atlantic brings a fresh brise and a lot of problems for the buildings because humidity. It’s impressive to watch the ocean breaks at the city wall and sunset over the blue fisher boats. The Souk is small but fine and not so over crowded like Marrakech but not easy to get good prices because you don’t have many options like in other souks.But it’s a unique place impressive too!

    Good place with a chilled-out vibe.

    Good place with a chilled-out vibe. Great for those who are into surfing or wind sports. Also a cool place for those who like to try local food, shop at markets, or just meander through the narrow streets of a historic and vibrant town. Accommodation is affordable, food is tasty, and the people are friendly. Also lots of activities such as surfing and camel/horse riding. Easy to reach other towns and cities from the bus station.

    There were lots of things I liked about Essaouira.

    There were lots of things I liked about Essaouira. It is a coastal seaport with fresh fish brought in daily, so eating fish/seafood was a real delight. The town itself has many sections of medina/suq where all sorts of shopping opportunities, or just gazing around can be had. I did a cookery course which I enjoyed and found very informative, we learned to make a meat tagine, also a lentil dish, and had a visit to the spice market. I went with another hotel guest to a hammam which was a first for me. I enjoyed it all, thought it was perhaps a bit commercial, and disappointed a day or two later to discover I had acquired headlice. I have heard of this happening to others, so whilst dismayed to be in that state, I recognise that it is fairly common. No I would not go to a hammam again. The hassle of getting lice free outweighed for me the enjoyment. I do ,however, recommend the cookery course.

    Essauira is a very charming town, with a completely different atmosphere than the busy Marrakesh. The old town has a lot of personality, with it's white buildings which mix Moroccan and European style. Plenty of good restaurants and places for eating, especially for fish and seafood. The prices of pretty much everything are significantly better than in Marrakesh and the sellers are more laid-back so it´s a good place for shopping some souvenirs more quietly. The main beach is very nice and it has good sports infrastructure on the promenade. There are also some nice places for listening to live music and in general the whole town has a very artsy and chill vibe.

    The staff were extremely friendly and helpful especially Khadija and Safaa. The breakfast was copious. Free car parking opposite the hotel - was quite full in December so may be overfull in high season. Hot water for the shower, which was welcome after some other places I've stayed. Water pressure on the third floor not the best but ok. WiFi on the third floor a bit patchy. Quiet location away from the centre but easy walking distance to the beach and Medina. I had some washing, which was done the same day at no charge.

    Moroccan style of property (please note it's not a luxurious 5 star hotel, it's simple apartments with shared kitchen, but have a great charm and atmosphere, so if you want to enhance your stay by adding Moroccan flavours to it, this property is for you). Amazing view from roof top, and very helpful and looking after staff - Naziha was amazing, although she wasn't speaking English, we used translator and she was trying very hard to make our stay comfortable and pleasant. Shukran Naziha! 😍

    Had a great time here! The hotel is in an excellent location to explore Essaouira. The rooms are cute and clean. A special shout out to Hamid, who was managing the hotel when I was there. I arrived late from Marrakech after the laundry services were closed for the day and Hamid offered to bring them to his home, wash them, and bring them back in the next morning. The extra care he showed made the trip worthwhile and I'd definitely recommend this Riad to anyone traveling to Essaouira!

    With a great view of the ocean, this hotel is well worth staying at. We travelled in Morocco for a month, often staying in roads in medinas. By the time we went to Essaouira, we were tired of staying in busy areas. This hotel is just a 10 minute walk away from the Medina, so a nice break from the craziness. They upgraded our room to a Seaview, which was greatly appreciated. Super nice staff, a great room and a great experience.

    Emma & Giles and their team are lovely, thoughtful people which their hospitality reflects. Giles gave us a lot of useful advice on Essaouira; Emma’s interior decoration skills are worthy of a 5 star hotel and the breakfast provided was extensive and very high quality. The security guard (whose name I didn’t get) helped us fix our broken car.
