    The riad was private, clean, well-stocked, and everyone that we interacted with was very pleasant. Fouzia took wonderful care of the place, and Blanka was very communicative. We found a fan in one bedroom which helped us to stay cool at night. The...

    My friend and I were on the top floor of this Riad where we each had our own bedroom. There is a kitchen and outside seating area. The rooms are spacious and the beds comfortable. It was nice being able to spread out (and wash clothes in the...

    The riad is very cozy and clean. It has 2 floors and we stayed at the second one. We had 2 rooms, which means the whole floor: terrace, 2 bathrooms, 1 kitchen. It was spacious, and we were comfortable. Beds were made each morning. Communication...

    The location is perfect close to Medina, beach and landmarks. The facilities were perfect for that authentic Riad feel. The plunge pool was so refreshing great to cool down in the heat of the day. The support and recommendations by Blanka were...

    We loved Aghata Palms - what a beautiful Riad! We stayed four nights in the second floor apartment and there’s plenty of space to spread out and relax. It’s light and airy and in a good location, down a couple of side streets off one of the main...

    The accommodation was very well located in the middle of the old town. We had the whole floor for ourselves, including a kitchen and a living room, and we had an access to the roof terrace with a view of the ocean, which made the stay very...

Great LOCATION directly behind the city walls in the old Medina, lovely garden with a pool. Stunning OCEAN VIEW. Excellent orientation. Typical Moroccan riad - open space and a lot of common areas - the ground floor, the garden and the pool. The riad was reconstructed in 2008 by an English couple who fell in love with Essaouira a long time ago. The reconstruction was made with great respect to the riad history and in TYPICAL ARABIC STYLE with a sense for detail. 3 floors, 2 apartments (one is on 1st floor and one on 2nd floor), the rooftop.
Essaouira is the Wind Capital of Morocco, the wind can be gusting all time year round because of its geographical conditions. It is a fantastic place to go KITE FLYING and KITESURFING. Every day of the year is a perfect weather day to go surfing on the beaches of Essaouira city, however, the high season runs from April to the end of September. The HARBOUR – morning or evening, when the sea-blue boats come in and the fishermen auction off their catch. The 15th century Portuguese PORT. Moulay Hassan SQUARE near Bab Skala– evening, especially the sunset is magic and you can take great snaps Bab Skala, Skala du Port and CITY WALLS – any time. The place appeared as Astapor in Game of Thrones too. FISH SOUQ - join the locals at this small market. For a cheap lunch, buy half a dozen sardines, and for around Dh10 one of the neighbouring cafes will grill them for you and serve them up with bread and a simple salad. You can get delicious and cheap STREET FOOD anywhere in the Medina. Just order, find the staircase up and there is usually an area where you can eat. The cheapest tajin and soup you can find at famous Mr Ouazzani.
