Located in Essaouira’s medina, this seafront riad offers stylish rooms with a traditional Moroccan décor and 2 terraces with sea views. The hotel features a spa centre with a hammam and massage services. Beautiful Riad. We had the Saphir Suite…. One of onlya few rooms that overlook the ocean. Unbelievable view and well worth the money. The young lady at the front desk was so lovely and helpful. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

This luxurious hotel features a terrace with a heated outdoor pool with panoramic views of the Medina and the sea. It is just 400 metres from the beach, in central Essaouira.

The Heure Bleue Palais offers spacious rooms and suites with an elegant décor. They come with flat-screen TVs and marble bathrooms, and some also feature Italian showers or balconies. The breakfast was excellent, mainly buffet style with a varied menu that included everything from savoury vegetable cakes, delicious omelettes, fresh figs and poached pears in syrup.... all freshly prepared, delicious! The roof top area is calm and beautiful, plants abound and there is a large pool and shady places to have a drink or light lunch. The colonial style decor is very tasteful with lots of dark wood fittings ad chic beige and brown colour schemes. Our bathroom was fabulous. This is a beautiful hotel with impeccable service and standards we would highly recommend it! Thank you for a wonderful stay and the free upgrade to a marvellous suite.

Located in the heart of the medina in Essaouira, Ryad Watier & SPA offers a unique setting for a relaxing and lazy stay.

Ryad Watier & SPA is set in a typical Moroccan house renovated to offer the greatest comfort while preserving traditional features. It offers 10 luminous and elegant rooms, each with a unique decor. Great value for money and design! I don't think that there is another property in Essaouira that matches the quality (comfort, decor, convenience of location, breakfast and staff) and price of this place. Absolutely recommend! Including the hammam!!! :)

At the heart of the Old Medina, La Maison des Artistes is within walking distance to the souks, fishing port and beach. It features a panoramic rooftop terrace with views of the ocean and Skala de la Kasbah monument. Free Wi-Fi is available.

Each is uniquely decorated and some have panoramic windows with views of the Atlantic Ocean. Beautiful accommodation. The view at the roof terrace is otherworldly. Very clean - the place is thoroughly cleaned everyday - and the breakfast is very good. Isabelle has a sense of hospitality that is "hors catégorie". I am a solo traveler, and Isabelle and Abdelkader really took care of me; it felt like a sanctuary. Isabelle gives great recommendations on where to eat. One day Isabelle took me to the market to buy some fish, chose a restaurant for me where they grilled the fish and even showed me how to eat sardines the Moroccan way. Do visit the hammam, Isabelle makes reservations. My only regret is that I did it the last day of my stay, otherwise I would have definitely done it again.
