I recently had the pleasure of staying at Riad Mogantique, and I can confidently say it is a fantastic gem in Essaouira! Our experience was nothing short of 5 stars, thanks to the exceptional hospitality and warm atmosphere of this lovely riad. From the moment we arrived, Tarik made us feel incredibly welcome. His dedication to customer service is truly commendable, as he went above and beyond to ensure that my family and I had everything we needed during our stay. The warmth and attentiveness of the entire staff made our experience even more special. The riad itself is beautifully designed and impeccably clean, having just opened last week. We appreciated the daily room cleaning, complete with fresh towels and sheets, which added to our comfort. The location is perfect, situated within walking distance of all the city sights, delicious restaurants, cafes, and vibrant markets. Breakfast was a highlight of our mornings, featuring authentic and delicious Moroccan dishes. Abde Al Fatah made sure we had warm bread to enjoy, and the delightful Moroccan tea was the perfect accompaniment. The riad offers a peaceful oasis where we felt safe and relaxed. We enjoyed some sun on the terrace, taking in the superb views of the ocean and the medina skyline. The fast Wi-Fi connection on all floors allowed me to work seamlessly on my laptop, making it easy to balance work and leisure. We also had the pleasure of meeting other kind tourists during our stay, creating a sense of community within the riad. It truly is a safe space, perfect for solo female travelers as well. I highly recommend Riad Mogantique to anyone visiting Essaouira. We will certainly be sending our friends and family here, and we look forward to returning ourselves. Thank you so much Tarik, for taking such good care of us! We can't wait to visit again soon!

My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning place just 15 minutes from the heart of Essaouira, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm Moroccan hospitality, and every detail of our stay exceeded expectations. The highlight for us was definitely the heated swimming pool—a rare luxury in this area! Whether it was a refreshing morning dip or a relaxing evening swim under the stars, the temperature was always perfect. The setting was incredibly peaceful and picturesque. Our bungalow was spacious, immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. The beds were comfortable, and we appreciated the quiet, serene environment—a welcome break from the bustle of the medina. Breakfasts were generous and delicious, with local produce, fresh breads, and amazing Moroccan mint tea. The on-site restaurant also offered an excellent selection of Moroccan and international dishes. Staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The hosts Jeremy and Yousra were exceptionally helpful. If you’re looking for a luxurious, peaceful retreat with easy access to Essaouira, this property is the perfect choice. We left feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and already planning our return!

    A beautiful, traditional Riad which was full of authentic typical Morocco decor and lots of lovely green plants. Very nicely done rooms that were colorful and cosy. I'd absolutely want to come back and stay here again. The staff were very friendly and gave lots of great information too. The breakfast was delicious too, and plenty of it :)

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Despite being located in a busy street of the Medina, when the doors of this riad opens, the noise stays out. The courtyard has some jungle vibes with beautiful plants hanging from the top floor. Breakfast is simple but fresh and good.

    Amazing riad in a very central yet quiet location of Essaouira. Very tastefully designed with plenty of local art pieces. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel at home even when you are staying there for one night only (my case). Special kudos to the traditional moroccan breakfast on the terrace!
