Unbelievable luxurious villa set amongst the beautiful Moroccan 🇲🇦 countryside, hosts Amma & Mohamed were excellent and the food was the best we had eaten after a week of exploring the restaurants of Essaouira. We only stayed the one night as close to airport for an early flight home but wish we had longer, villa would be an ideal base for exploring the area, would 100% recommend Villa Amma.

Staff are super nice and very hospital Anything you ask is done right away. Room service was super quick Housekeeping clean room every day with new towels. Reception staff well trained concierge was outside the hotel to welcome the guests we arrived with a rental car. He took our luggage inside and then he took our car to their parking space. This was nice service reduced alot of looking for hotel parking place. The hotel manager is well trained on customer service and very good listening. The service hotels provide is equivalent to 5star. Jamilla Manji

We were pleasantly happy to stay in such a great place after a week roadtrip around Morocco. Neima is a great person and professional which played the major part of our comfortable staying in this hotel. She is very helpful and kind and goes beyond her duties to make everyone feel happy. The room is clean, thanks to amazing cleaning personnel. The location is great even if you don't have a car. Its close to the beach and far from center madness.We stayed 3 nights and it was the best days of our stay in Morocco. Breakfast was super great, European style with morrocan touch. 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 liked the serene atmosphere of the Hotel des Iles and its large swimming pool. The location is excellent, it is just across the road from the beach and the medina is just a short distance away, you can easily walk there in a few minutes. As the are no lifts in the hotel, it is probably a good idea to get either a ground floor room or a pool bungalow because the breakfast bar is on the first and the buffet on the second floors. If you are not eating at the hotel there are lots of reastaurants in the medina and a couple quite close to the hotel.

I chose this place for fresh seafood, as advertised.

I chose this place for fresh seafood, as advertised. What I had was an awful, almost-poisonous, life-threatening experience, as my fresh, chosen purchase of tiger prawns had been replaced by rotten ones by the fishmonger. It could have happened while I was struggling to count their foreign money out of my pocket. I ended up being in an embarrassing situation with the apartment owner when I cooked the prawns and polluted the whole building with a foul smell of rotten seafood. I chucked them all out in the bin, and I lost my appetite for the rest of my stay in Morocco. I should have listened to what my friends were saying about this place.

Very relaxed beach town. Nice medina and souk but not aggressive as you find in other Moroccan cities. Very high quality art and crafts. Beautiful views and beach, many spas available, very fresh seafood. Excellent restaurants.

The medina is lovely.

The medina is lovely. You can walk around freely with no one hassling you to come into their shop. The locals are lovely and so helpful. The variety of places to eat, have a coffee or just sit and watch are plentiful and its great to wander down all the narrow passageways and discover what is around the next corner. Its safe, easy to get around and Id return in a heartbeat. There is a main shopping street outside the medina where you can find the shops that sell alcohol and more fruit and vegetables. The port has an active fish market but there is fresh fish and a small fish market inside the medina too. The beach is lovely with sunbeds to rent and vendors walking up and down selling tea, biscuits etc. You get asked but you do not get harrassed. Its great.

A big (and much cooler) contrast to Marrakech, Essaouira is a very traditional Berber town, but much smaller, but with lots of good eating options, (no alcohol in most!) The souk is lovely with lots of choice for everything, and the beach area very nice, but being on the Atlantic, prone to wind. We spent our 2nd evening on the sea front watching the sun go down and enjoying fresh sardines - a nice 2 day stop over.

our room faced the ocean and led directly onto the terrace where breakfast was served, the hotel was very quiet no matter what time of the day ,breakfast was very traditional with eggs cooked to your liking. No television in our room, which after a couple of days you start to enjoy the benefits. This hotel is located just within the medina ,but close enough to the beach. The staff without exception were polite, very helpful, and would check to ensure all was good .
