I recently had the pleasure of staying at this new beautiful riad in Essaouira, and it was an unforgettable experience. The riad’s location was perfect—tucked away in the heart of the medina, just a short walk to the beach and the vibrant souks, yet peaceful and serene once inside. The interior was a perfect blend of traditional Moroccan design and modern comforts. High ceilings, intricate tilework, and a cozy courtyard and beautiful terrace. My room was perfect for me, with a comfortable bed, tasteful décor, and all the amenities I needed for a relaxing stay. What really set this riad apart was the service. The staff went out of their way to make me feel at home. From the warm welcome upon arrival to the thoughtful recommendations for local attractions, they made every effort to ensure my stay was as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Overall, I couldn’t recommend this riad enough for anyone visiting Essaouira. It offers the perfect mix of charm, comfort, and hospitality. Whether you’re in town for the culture, the food, or just to unwind, this riad is a true gem.

Loved staying here. Soufian and the rest of the staff are all very polite and helpful. Tea and cookies on arrival. We had a triple room and the room was large and we were provided a heater upon request. Breakfast was great and plentiful. A bit hard to find at first like most medina locations. A great roof top terrace with a 360 view, great for sunset. All sights are easy walking distance from the Riad. I highly recommend staying here!

    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!
