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.

    Small Moroccan Medina compared to the bigger cities, easy to get around and not too crowded with plenty of restaurant options A working port with fresh seafood readily available. A very windy coastal location favoured by wind surfers. A great place to chill out for a few days

    great city, nice medina it is more comfortable than the one in Marrakesh since there is no car and moto traffic, the beach is vast , clean. Fish market is amazing, must see. You can buy any fish there , get it cleaned and grilled. The are street markets in the center and very decent Carrefour supermarket with paper bags only. It is easy to park anywhere outside medina . The city is walkable , illuminated at night, it feels save to me to walk around. Just for roads crossing one should be careful - the drivers dont stop until pedestrian starts crossing. The city is clean enough compared to other cities we have seen ( like El Jadida or smaller cities in between).I like that plastic bottles are not seen in the streets - they are returned for some fees and thus collected.

    Essaouira is a relatively small, compact, ancient, traditional Moroccan city. Narrow alleyways and traditional architecture. Cafes, stalls etc. An interesting fishing boat filled harbour with animated action, fish gutting, cooking, selling etc. City walls and fortresses to explore. Friendly non hassling people. Much more relaxing than Marrakech, whilst still having exotic ambiance. Inumerable restaurants serving good food at reasonable prices. You can walk from one side of the city to the other in 15 minutes (if you don't lose yourself in the maze!) This was a former 'hippy' hangout and it is easy to understand why.

    Very good hotel for good price. Rooms are clean. Cosmetics and hairdryer in bathroom are available. Breakfast is very tasty and big (it's hard to eat all). Hotel is in good localisation - 15 minutes walking to main beach, in the evening is quiet. Best part of this place are girls working at the reception - very polite, still smiling and trying to help you every time. They told us a lot about the culture of Morocco and gave us a lot of tips. Greetings to them. I hope to come back there.

    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.

They have a restaurant that is associated to the property which is outstanding!! One of the best meals we ever had and they made the effort to accommodate us because we were staying at the hotel. We also appreciated that the restaurant was pushed on us as an option but suggested.

The breakfast was delicious and all prepared fresh. The staff were on hand for anything you needed and the room was cleaned excellently every morning. The best hotel we've probably ever stayed in. We'd come back to Essaouira just for this hotel and it's incredible rooms, service, food and ambience. Stunning.
