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.

    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

    Really good breakfast (too much for us to finish in fact) and really friendly staff. The hotel is ideally situated for the beach and the surf schools. It is a bit of a walk to the Medina (around 25 minutes) but this means that it is less noisy at night. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Villa Quieta to anyone looking for accommodation in Essaouira.

    Lovely hotel within very short walk of the medina port and the beach. Staff very happy and helpful. Lovely small pool in the garden with ample number of sunbeds if you don’t fancy the beach. No air con in the rooms but with the steady breeze from the sea front not necessary. Our room had sea view which was lovely.
