Everything was perfect. Loved it from the very first moment to the last. Nevertheless, I would like to highlight the staff, they were super nice and super helpful and very competent. The room was spacious, bed very good, breakfast excellent and the garden is the crown jewel. The villa is on the south end of the city, 20 minutes on foot from the medina gates. In the night it was very quiet, very good for people with lighter sleep.

Nice rooms. Parking is right in front of the hotel, which was very convenient. The restaurant had a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and that was mainly thanks to Khadidja. She was truly amazing, attentive, friendly, and full of positive energy. She really made us feel at home and turned our stay into something special. Because of her, the whole experience was much more enjoyable. The WiFi was also great for remote working.

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.

Stayed 2 nights.

Stayed 2 nights. Arrived about 3pm in November so had less than a day on the 1st day. Spent the whole of Day 2 wandering around the Medina, the beach and even explored the "residential area" - on the outskirts of the medina. It was easy to walk around everywhere. Day 3 - departed on the 11am bus so my 3 days and 2 nights were just perfect.

Essaouira is unique: its traditional buildings offer the visitor coffee shops, restaurants with moroccan cuisine, tiny shops for spices, jewellery, wood carvings, ethnic clothing, leather goods and carpets yet remains a fully working town for its locals. It is no high-end "cote d'azur", but that is why it is so special. The port area is amazing - so many small boats and trawlers bringing in their catch daily, to be sold on the quayside, with all the sights (and smells) that one imagines of a working fishing port. We saw massive tunas, sharks, eels, crabs and lobsters, shrimps (some enormous), all arranged for local restaurants, residents and even brave tourists to buy. The Medina is a maze of tiny alleys and tunnels, with traders, artisans and artists of all descriptions beavering away at all hours. We also found it easy to talk to the Essaouirians, many of whom will go out of their way to welcome you and exchange life stories. All in all, a feast for the senses.

Essauouira came the closest to what my romantic notion, minds-eye of what a Moroccan medina would be like. The medina is large enough to become thoroughly lost and found in; the Atlantic Ocean is majestic and can be gazed upon from so many beautiful sights along the medina; magnificent sunsets; delicious but highly affordable restaurants. A dreamy place to gather your thoughts and center yourself after visiting Marrakech and the Sahara!

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.

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.

We stayed in Essaouira with our 9-year-old son and had a fantastic experience. The room was very clean and comfortable — perfect after a day of exploring the medina and beach. What really stood out was the breakfast: fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented every morning. The staff were warm and welcoming, and they made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this hotel for families looking for a relaxing and well-kept place to stay in Essaouira.

Amazing hotel, lovely spacious comfy rooms, great breakfast with lots of choice, good location for short walk to medina, overlooking beach so sunsets are wonderful, but looking out at the sea view as you wake is hard to leave, we have stayed here before and it is still one of the best hotels in essouira , but what makes it my first choice is the customer care, all the staff excel in making your stay perfect

The apartment is in an excellent location. Very comfortable and has everything you need for a family stay. The view of the beach activities and the sunset is fabulous. The hosts were very attentive and helpful with information and communication via WhatsApp before and during our stay. 5 stars.

I loved the location to start with. The staff were very helpful and made me feel very welcome. I've been to Essaouira several times, and this stay was the best so far, and I really liked this hotel.
