Property information

Built in the 18th century, Riad Emotion stands as a bridge between the breath of the Ocean and the whispers of history. Ideally nestled within the labyrinthine Medina, just a few steps from the shore and the joyful bustle of the souks, this centuries-old jewel invites you on a stationary odyssey. Here, hospitality is not merely a service, but an art of living—a celebration of the five pillars of Souiri culture that have shaped the very soul of Mogador. Elegance unfolds across five suites, like five promises of travel with dream-filled names: Mogador, Arganier, Thuya, Les Alizés, and Gnaoua. Within each of these private retreats, refinement meets the highest standards of comfort, offering travelers a sanctuary where every detail is a caress for the soul. To cross the threshold of Riad Emotion is to accept an invitation to serenity. Within the secret of the patio, under the sun's path or in the shade of the lounges, a subtle dialogue unfolds between two worlds: the splendor of Moroccan craftsmanship meets the delicacy of French influence. This reimagined style, woven from contrasts and nuances, breathes a vibrant, almost organic personality into the home. Nothing is left to chance; every object, every curve seems to have found its place to compose a soothing symphony. The patio, the true beating heart of the Riad, diffuses a milky light that rests upon immaculate white walls. Far from the vibrant animation of Essaouira’s streets, the sleek furniture and the soft atmosphere invite you to an inner escape. It is a halt for the soul, a sanctuary where one tastes the joy of being elsewhere while rediscovering the warmth of familiar places. In this spirit of kindness and serenity, we strive to make our home, for the duration of your stay, your home away from home. WELCOME TO RIAD EMOTION.
