Nice inward facing courtyard in a historic building with lots of character, made it a very charming stay. The rooftop pool was nice although we didn’t actually use it. The rooms are well appointed for what you need for a short stay in Essaouira. The staff, particularly the manager, were very respectful, helpful and responsible.

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.

    What I loved most about Essaouira was its calm and relaxed atmosphere. After the noise and hustle of Marrakech, arriving in Essaouira felt like a breath of fresh air. The ocean breeze, the friendly people... It’s a small, charming city with lots to do, but without the stress.

    We fell in love with Morocco and this was our favourite place lively / colourful buildings and people in the medina/ easy access to beach (10 minutes). Just a gem - the people were sooooo friendly, climate around mid-high 20s so easier to handle than the mid 40s of Marrakech. great for waterspors due to winds Visit Essaouira on any trip Morocco - you won't regret

    The staff were extremely friendly and helpful especially Khadija and Safaa. The breakfast was copious. Free car parking opposite the hotel - was quite full in December so may be overfull in high season. Hot water for the shower, which was welcome after some other places I've stayed. Water pressure on the third floor not the best but ok. WiFi on the third floor a bit patchy. Quiet location away from the centre but easy walking distance to the beach and Medina. I had some washing, which was done the same day at no charge.

    A pleasant, comfortable stay and in my opinion the city is one of the best I have seen of many cities so far in Morocco. Nothing to fault about the hotel itself, the receptionists and the waiter who served breakfast (which was delicious to have) were welcoming and pleasant. The only thing that I personally found to be (slightly) disturbing was the "clock tower year 1912" which rang out of sync with the times at all times of the day. Thank you Essaouira and I will see you soon!
