Located in the historic centre, Riad Dar Maya is a luxury guest house with a rooftop terrace, a hot tub and a library. Guests can also enjoy the steam bath or a massage treatment, at a surcharge.

The air-conditioned rooms at Riad Dar Maya are decorated in an elegant style and include a fireplace. Some also feature a balcony. Free Wi-Fi access is provided. We loved the minimalistic interior with earthtone coloured Tadelakt and natural light. Quiet, spacious and comfortable. Will miss the heated flooring.

Set on the city wall, this beautiful riad offers a rooftop terrace overlooking the old medina of Essaouira. Its spacious guest rooms are elegantly decorated with Moroccan design and a fireplace.

All of the air-conditioned rooms at the Riad Chbanate are also equipped with a TV and a luxurious bathroom with bathtub. They all overlook the riad’s indoor patio. The cosiness of the room with the fireplace too good. The beauty of the Ryad also.

At the heart of the Old Medina, La Maison des Artistes is within walking distance to the souks, fishing port and beach. It features a panoramic rooftop terrace with views of the ocean and Skala de la Kasbah monument. Free Wi-Fi is available.

Each is uniquely decorated and some have panoramic windows with views of the Atlantic Ocean. Beautiful accommodation. The view at the roof terrace is otherworldly. Very clean - the place is thoroughly cleaned everyday - and the breakfast is very good. Isabelle has a sense of hospitality that is "hors catégorie". I am a solo traveler, and Isabelle and Abdelkader really took care of me; it felt like a sanctuary. Isabelle gives great recommendations on where to eat. One day Isabelle took me to the market to buy some fish, chose a restaurant for me where they grilled the fish and even showed me how to eat sardines the Moroccan way. Do visit the hammam, Isabelle makes reservations. My only regret is that I did it the last day of my stay, otherwise I would have definitely done it again.
