The breakfast is one of the highlights and a reason why we came back to stay at Suite Azur. The fresh OJ and baked items, along with beautiful fruit and honey and cheese and omelets on request are best enjoyed on the roof top deck overseeing the majestic views of the Atlantic. The room was perfect for us and our son, with incredibly comfortable beds, a sitting area to play cards and cross ventilation for great breezes. Yusuf and Farah and the rest of the staff are always eager to help out, will personally walk you places to be sure you don't get lost in the Medina and make wonderful recommendations for activities and restaurants. We love Essaouira and the Suite Azur is a huge factor in our fabulous experience there.

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.
Essaouira is a relatively small, compact, ancient,...
Essaouira is a relatively small, compact, ancient, traditional Moroccan city. Narrow alleyways and traditional architecture. Cafes, stalls etc. An interesting fishing boat filled harbour with animated action, fish gutting, cooking, selling etc. City walls and fortresses to explore. Friendly non hassling people. Much more relaxing than Marrakech, whilst still having exotic ambiance. Inumerable restaurants serving good food at reasonable prices. You can walk from one side of the city to the other in 15 minutes (if you don't lose yourself in the maze!) This was a former 'hippy' hangout and it is easy to understand why.

Lovely old medina and fishing port just a short walk along the promenade. If you explore the alleyways away from the shops you will come across workshops where the local products are being handcrafted.

What a wonderful city!
What a wonderful city! Beaming with actual local craft and art, lots of cute street cats and beautiful colourful houses with intricately decorated doors, windows and fountains. We fell in love with this small city and would love to go back.
Pro Tip if you like cats: buy some vet cat food and walk around the city with it because those creatures will break your heart with their cuteness.
I would recommend spending at least two days there. Get lost in the small streets to the sides from the main shopping areas. Visit the fish market, eat fresh oysters or other sea products. The beach was nice and serves as a great refreshment after long walks in Medina.
Shopping was great and cheap but I would still recommend learning the actual prices first. For example, we got small tiles for 10dhs but in other places we’re getting prices like 50 or 30. Don’t be afraid to walk away and negotiate a bit. Especially if it is not the master themselves selling but a reseller. You can usually find actual masters on the smaller side streets (especially for wood and fabrics). I also noticed that women have fair prices more often.
Food. Amazing street food and fruits! Don’t go to overpriced restaurants on tourist streets, unless they have a “menu” offer which can be worth the price. Otherwise, if you just take a detour from the main hustle, there will be tangine not for 80dhs but for 30. The food is also way cheaper outside of Medina.

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.
The personal was very helpful and did everything for us. The hotel and room beautiful, great location and the terrace great with magnificent view over the beach. Leila was especially helpful. When we arrived two people in our group were sick and we were a bit chaotic but she helped us arrange for a doctor and the medication. The day of checking out the grandmother in our group was also sick and she could stay longer in her room with no additional cost until she was prepared to travel. We are thankful and can really recommend this hotel.
It’s very beautiful and relaxing. Seems like there are many rooms but it wasn’t crowded or loud. There is parking right in front, the hotel is easy to find and it’s close to the beach. The breakfast was very tasty, although I wish they would start serving it earlier than 8:30. There is a beautiful rooftop terrace and swimming pool on the ground floor. We didn’t have time to check out their spa services unfortunately, maybe next time. The staff was very pleasant and helpful.
from the minute I got here I absolutely loved it t...The staff here was so helpful I cannot fault them at all .. Abdul raheim at the reception what a gentleman helped me a great deal in every thing.. I have stayed all over Morocco ..and what I can say is this hotel 🏨 and the wonderful staff was the best . .I will be returning back with my family 💯 Thankyou so much you made my trip to Essouria the best .. The room wow overlooking the front what a experience 10/10
The location of the hotel is just amazing. Close to the medina and the beach at the same time.
Parking is free of charge and in the hotel.
The view was an outstanding point.
We had to meet with the Director Mr Bennani whom we found amazingly professional and helpful.
He welcomed us properly and even proposed to upgrade our bookings after a misunderstanding with what we booked via Booking.
This is the eclectic and bohemian home of Isabelle, your charming host (and her art collection). You have a private bedroom suite, and share a living room and all open areas with a handful of guests. including the open roof terrace, which may have the best view in Essaouira. The host is a delight and makes great food and visit recommendations . We loved our week here and hope to return.
We stayed for eight nights over the christmas holidays and had a wonderful time! The owner is very friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with and the apartment itself is clean, spacious, beautiful and well located in a local, quiet area with small shops etc. but still within a 10 minute walk from the beach. If we ever come back to Essaouira, we will stay with Ayoub again!
Good hotel. My room was clean and well presented. Extremely comfortable mattress - one of the best I've slept on. Nice crisp white duvets and pillows. Wi-fi was very good. Excellent high pressure hot rain style shower. Also, I would like to give a special mention to Otma (I think that is his name?) at the reception - he was very nice and a pleasure to talk to.
Very causy place, which will not be the impersonal hotel stay but will not bother you at any rate more than you want yourself. Friendly for family with kids. Valuable advice and arrangements on what to do for travelling around Essaouira. Chance to switch of your western agenda, though wifi works very deacently. Authentic Morrocan design in every detail.
This is a lovely riad. We had a wonderful stay here. The rooms are comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful.
The restaurant is very good as well. The location close to the beach was very nice. We walked to the medina many times from the hotel. It is a longish walk but lovely along the beach.
Greeted by a lovely member of the team who explained all about the hotel facilities. Excellent location. Good sized room with balcony overlooking the sea. Excellent buffet breakfast with plenty of variety. Lovely area on the beach exclusively for residents.
Great location, the host helped us with the best way to see the city, the places to visit and where to shop. The hotel is great, it’s clean, comfortable, breakfast is delicious. Would definitely recommend staying here!
