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.

    Impressive fort!

    Impressive fort! The Atlantic brings a fresh brise and a lot of problems for the buildings because humidity. It’s impressive to watch the ocean breaks at the city wall and sunset over the blue fisher boats. The Souk is small but fine and not so over crowded like Marrakech but not easy to get good prices because you don’t have many options like in other souks.But it’s a unique place impressive too!

    Good place with a chilled-out vibe.

    Good place with a chilled-out vibe. Great for those who are into surfing or wind sports. Also a cool place for those who like to try local food, shop at markets, or just meander through the narrow streets of a historic and vibrant town. Accommodation is affordable, food is tasty, and the people are friendly. Also lots of activities such as surfing and camel/horse riding. Easy to reach other towns and cities from the bus station.

    There were lots of things I liked about Essaouira.

    There were lots of things I liked about Essaouira. It is a coastal seaport with fresh fish brought in daily, so eating fish/seafood was a real delight. The town itself has many sections of medina/suq where all sorts of shopping opportunities, or just gazing around can be had. I did a cookery course which I enjoyed and found very informative, we learned to make a meat tagine, also a lentil dish, and had a visit to the spice market. I went with another hotel guest to a hammam which was a first for me. I enjoyed it all, thought it was perhaps a bit commercial, and disappointed a day or two later to discover I had acquired headlice. I have heard of this happening to others, so whilst dismayed to be in that state, I recognise that it is fairly common. No I would not go to a hammam again. The hassle of getting lice free outweighed for me the enjoyment. I do ,however, recommend the cookery course.

    Essauira is a very charming town, with a completely different atmosphere than the busy Marrakesh. The old town has a lot of personality, with it's white buildings which mix Moroccan and European style. Plenty of good restaurants and places for eating, especially for fish and seafood. The prices of pretty much everything are significantly better than in Marrakesh and the sellers are more laid-back so it´s a good place for shopping some souvenirs more quietly. The main beach is very nice and it has good sports infrastructure on the promenade. There are also some nice places for listening to live music and in general the whole town has a very artsy and chill vibe.

    The location and scenery from this hotel was amazing. It can’t be faulted anyway.  The staff were also very welcoming and helpful. And attended to all our needs.  the rooms were very clean and housekeeping was on point. And every room had a beautiful view, either out onto the seafront or onto the narrow traditional walkways of the old city. But I have to say the best thing I loved about staying in this hotel was the fact that right outside the front door was a beautiful little café.

    We have been travelling around Morocco staying in top hotels and there is anything like this hotel. It is a true temple for relax in the middle of paradise. Beautiful architecture decorated with the best taste. The swimming pool is perfect and the beach is amazing with a calm sea surrounded by beautiful dunes. Great hospitality from the staff and loads of activities to do during your stay. While you are in the hotel, the rest of the world disappears. We will definitely come back.

    Essaouira Youth Hostel provided an exceptional experience during my recent visit. The manager, Tariq, went above and beyond by offering me a whole room for the price of a dorm when the dorm became full. His homemade Tagine with dry prunes was an absolute culinary delight, the best food I had in Essaouira. The hostel was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. The staff's warm hospitality and helpfulness made my stay unforgettable. Highly recommended

    Staff was very friendly and helpful 💙 The Hotel was by the cafe street and near beach and old town. It was easy to go around with the paper map and even though there was a lot people in the evenings at cafes it wasn't too noisy. Just the nearby mosque with it's prayer calls can be a bit loud at times but it's part of the culture. Hotel was very clean and all went well
