Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Essaouira

Boasting sea views, Zayyna hôtel de charme Essaouira features accommodation with an infinity pool, a garden and a bar, around 6.7 km from Golf de Mogador. The property has mountain and pool views. There is a restaurant serving Moroccan cuisine, and free private parking is available. This beautiful new boutique hotel is stunningly designed, with every detail carefully thought through and perfectly in harmony. The architecture blends seamlessly into the peaceful countryside, and the interior décor is refined and consistent throughout. The Tamegroute pottery in particular added such a unique touch. The palm tree-lined driveway creates a sense of grandeur as you arrive. From the terrace, the views of the surrounding landscape are simply breathtaking. The pool is delightful: the water temperature was just right, and the sun loungers were comfortable. We stayed in the most basic (and therefore cheapest) room, but it was absolutely perfect: beautifully decorated, a comfortable bed, and a fantastic shower. This is the ideal place to escape the busy work life and truly relax. Some other reviewers mentioned the access road, but we honestly don’t understand the complaints. It’s just a typical Moroccan gravel side road, easily manageable if you drive slowly – as you should anyway, since you often come across goat herds on the way! The food is delicious; not an extensive menu, but that makes perfect sense for such a small-scale hotel where guests often dine in Essaouira. This way, every meal is fresh and nothing goes to waste. The tajines were outstanding, cooked with love, and the breakfasts were a real treat too: different types of pancakes, bread, a freshly made omelette. What really sets this hotel apart is the wonderful staff. We have traveled to Morocco before and know the warmth of Moroccan hospitality, but the kindness and genuine care of this team were truly exceptional. During our stay, nothing was ever too much trouble. Each staff member, in their own way, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for, and they did it from the heart! They also had a wonderful team spirit among themselves, which made us feel like part of the Zayyna family. Saying goodbye was genuinely difficult.

There is an on-site restaurant and free private parking. Guests can make use of the sun terrace or the picnic area, or enjoy views of the pool and garden. A beautiful house to end our stay in Morocco. Chrystele, Bruno and Abdul were the perfect hosts, and served up an amazing breakfast every morning. We were extremely well looked after, but it also felt like we were with friends. We had dinner every night which was always faultless and got to eat with a different group of people each night who were staying in their motorhomes. A cosy fire was the perfect end to the evening.

Facing the beachfront, La Maison des Vagues offers 2-star accommodation in Sidi Kaouki and features an outdoor swimming pool, garden and shared lounge. Providing a restaurant, the property also has a terrace and a bar. Guests can have a drink at the snack bar. I was looking for some “me time”, not a surfer, just wanted a laid back peaceful place to relax in and walk along the beach. La Maison des Vagues is SO perfect for this. Comfortable, cozy, lots of different spaces, great food, fab staff, a pool and they can organize all the activities like surfing/horse/dromedary rides, quads, visits to Essaouira (recommend), yoga and massages. Really mixed crowd from families with young kids to groups of same sex friends, older couples and a few Moroccan families too - such a nice atmosphere, gracefully curated by Christèle and Christophe, with their right hand woman Soukaina who is ACE! Thank you to all the team for delivering exactly what I was looking for.
