This was my second time at Dar Maya - and it was equally as lovely as the first! The rooms are cozy and well decorated - the heated floors in the bathroom are great. :) Essaouira is small, so you are not far from the beach or the main souks / restaurants. Thank you to Youssef and the rest of the Dar Maya staff.

Staying at this Riad was an unforgettable experience. The staff treated me like family, making me feel right at home from the moment of arrival . The building itself is exquisite, beautifully preserved with charming details that transport you to another time. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, perfect for a peaceful getaway. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious, with a variety of fresh, local options that delighted my taste buds each morning. The roof terrace was a highlight, offering stunning ocean views that took my breath away. It was the perfect spot to unwind, listen to the soothing sound of the waves, and lose myself in a good book. This Riad is a true gem, a sanctuary where you can truly relax and recharge. I even extended my stay when I was there and can't wait to return.

A beautiful, traditional Riad which was full of authentic typical Morocco decor and lots of lovely green plants. Very nicely done rooms that were colorful and cosy. I'd absolutely want to come back and stay here again. The staff were very friendly and gave lots of great information too. The breakfast was delicious too, and plenty of it :)

Very friendly and helpful staff. Despite being located in a busy street of the Medina, when the doors of this riad opens, the noise stays out. The courtyard has some jungle vibes with beautiful plants hanging from the top floor. Breakfast is simple but fresh and good.

Amazing riad in a very central yet quiet location of Essaouira. Very tastefully designed with plenty of local art pieces. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel at home even when you are staying there for one night only (my case). Special kudos to the traditional moroccan breakfast on the terrace!
