We arrived very late, they waited for us patiently. The house itself is beautiful, the hall, the breakfast area are authentic and also has a lot of space. Our "little" room was actually perfect for 2 people, so don't be afraid to reserve the small-sized room :) Clean bathroom, clean room, glasses and bottle of water in the room. About 200 m walk from the parking lot. The riad is very close to the main square, an easy walk to explore the city.

The Chill Art Hostel is located in Essaouira, 200 metres from Market Place and 400 metres from Othello Garden. The property is situated 2 km from Essaouira Assawak Assalam.

Communal space often being used; shared breakfast and a tea in the evening meant it was easy to meet other solo travellers. The staff were excellent and made the place feel like a home. A really great team of people working here.

Located in Essaouira on the sea front, Jack’s Apartments & Suites offers self-catering apartments . The beach is just a 7-minute walk away.

We liked everything about our stay - the location in the heart of the Medina with a beautiful terrace overlooking the ocean for wonderful sunset views or a romantic breakfast. Our hosts were so welcoming,warm,helpful and kind. The rooms are quiet, comfy, nicely decorated. The entire place has been fully renovated a couple of years ago and you can feel the touch of an adapted, modern management catered to tourists. We loved it all!

The Riad Malaika Hotel is located in the heart of the Essaouira Médina, just 50 metres from the beach. The hotel offers beauty and body treatments and free Wi-Fi access.

Beautiful riad and very welcoming staff and management. Perfect location to visit Essaouira and most notably, the breakfasts were superb! We also booked a dinner at the riad one evening and it was absolutely delicious and one of our best meals in Morocco!

Within Essaouira’s ramparts, a 5-minute walk from the beach, this environmentally-friendly Riad blends Arabic, Berber and Jewish influences in its design.

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.
