Breakfast was everything you need- croissants, bread jam, eggs if you want them, yogurt, cereal, orange juice, coffee. Location was lovely, a 15 minute stroll on the beach to the Medina. Supermarket is a 20 minute walk or a 5 minute (8 dirham) petite taxi ride away. Beach is literally across the street. Pool was lovely! Staff super helpful. 👏👏👏

We had a fantastic stay! The place is very friendly, with brand-new facilities and located in a quiet area—perfect for relaxation. Mo and Anne made us feel at home with their warm, family-like approach. The highlight of our stay was the delicious chicken tajine, absolutely fantastic! Another great perk is that you can buy high-quality argan oil directly from local producers nearby. Mo was incredibly helpful in guiding us to the best products at great prices. Highly recommended!

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.

Essaouira is unique: its traditional buildings offer the visitor coffee shops, restaurants with moroccan cuisine, tiny shops for spices, jewellery, wood carvings, ethnic clothing, leather goods and carpets yet remains a fully working town for its locals. It is no high-end "cote d'azur", but that is why it is so special. The port area is amazing - so many small boats and trawlers bringing in their catch daily, to be sold on the quayside, with all the sights (and smells) that one imagines of a working fishing port. We saw massive tunas, sharks, eels, crabs and lobsters, shrimps (some enormous), all arranged for local restaurants, residents and even brave tourists to buy. The Medina is a maze of tiny alleys and tunnels, with traders, artisans and artists of all descriptions beavering away at all hours. We also found it easy to talk to the Essaouirians, many of whom will go out of their way to welcome you and exchange life stories. All in all, a feast for the senses.

Essauouira came the closest to what my romantic notion, minds-eye of what a Moroccan medina would be like. The medina is large enough to become thoroughly lost and found in; the Atlantic Ocean is majestic and can be gazed upon from so many beautiful sights along the medina; magnificent sunsets; delicious but highly affordable restaurants. A dreamy place to gather your thoughts and center yourself after visiting Marrakech and the Sahara!

We liked the serene atmosphere of the Hotel des Iles and its large swimming pool. The location is excellent, it is just across the road from the beach and the medina is just a short distance away, you can easily walk there in a few minutes. As the are no lifts in the hotel, it is probably a good idea to get either a ground floor room or a pool bungalow because the breakfast bar is on the first and the buffet on the second floors. If you are not eating at the hotel there are lots of reastaurants in the medina and a couple quite close to the hotel.

I chose this place for fresh seafood, as advertised.

I chose this place for fresh seafood, as advertised. What I had was an awful, almost-poisonous, life-threatening experience, as my fresh, chosen purchase of tiger prawns had been replaced by rotten ones by the fishmonger. It could have happened while I was struggling to count their foreign money out of my pocket. I ended up being in an embarrassing situation with the apartment owner when I cooked the prawns and polluted the whole building with a foul smell of rotten seafood. I chucked them all out in the bin, and I lost my appetite for the rest of my stay in Morocco. I should have listened to what my friends were saying about this place.

Very relaxed beach town. Nice medina and souk but not aggressive as you find in other Moroccan cities. Very high quality art and crafts. Beautiful views and beach, many spas available, very fresh seafood. Excellent restaurants.

The medina is lovely.

The medina is lovely. You can walk around freely with no one hassling you to come into their shop. The locals are lovely and so helpful. The variety of places to eat, have a coffee or just sit and watch are plentiful and its great to wander down all the narrow passageways and discover what is around the next corner. Its safe, easy to get around and Id return in a heartbeat. There is a main shopping street outside the medina where you can find the shops that sell alcohol and more fruit and vegetables. The port has an active fish market but there is fresh fish and a small fish market inside the medina too. The beach is lovely with sunbeds to rent and vendors walking up and down selling tea, biscuits etc. You get asked but you do not get harrassed. Its great.

The hotel is really well located in the old town - be aware that you have to walk as cars aren’t allowed in the old town. It’s very peaceful inside. The room was nice, if a little small. The breakfast was honestly amazing - the best one of our trip - plentiful and varied. The staff were great and made sure we had everything we needed. The pool on the terrace is smaller than you think but there are more sun loungers than it looks from the photos. All in all a nice place to stay.

The hotel was conveniently situated near the beach, with beach bars nearby, and only a 25-30 minute walk into the medina. The room was fantastic, we had an apartment with a private roof terrace, which was exceptional, and all of the other facilities in the hotel were excellent. The kids particularly loved the swimming pool. The food was delicious and the pre-arrival and booking communication was great - the hotel helped to arrange transfers or us at a great price.
