Well located in Essaouira, Riad Babette provides an à la carte breakfast and free WiFi. Featuring full-day security, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. Extra facilities include a 24-hour front desk, meeting rooms, a tour desk and housekeeping service. This riad is so comfortable. Mohammed and his wife are delightful and welcoming. The rooftop breakfast was delicious and they couldn't do enough for us - helping us to find a garage for our punctured tyre and offering to organize a hamman if we wanted ( though we ran out of time). This is a lovely riad right in the heart of the Medina.

RIAD YANITRI Piscine chauffée offers a solarium, as well as air-conditioned accommodation in Essaouira, 11 km from Golf de Mogador. The property features pool and garden views. There is a restaurant serving Moroccan cuisine, and free private parking is available. Stunningly beautiful. Warm welcome from arrival. All the rooms were well equipped and attractively presented. We had dinner 2 nights. The mechoui was excellent (a first for us!) and both coucous and tagine were very good.

Boasting luggage storage space, this property also has a restaurant and a sun terrace. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service. Absolutely fantastic stay! The staff were amazing — always friendly and ready to help with anything we needed. The location is perfect, right by the medina, and the riad itself is spotless. The décor is absolutely beautiful, and breakfast was exceptional, easily the best we’ve had in Morocco. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough — we’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Essaouira!

Riad Dar Sebta is a riad located in the Old Medina district of Essaouira. The property features city and inner courtyard views, and is 5.6 km from Golf de Mogador. The property is 700 metres from Plage d'Essaouira, and within 200 metres of the city centre. Riaad Sebta was absolutely amazing! It’s a small riaad with only 6 rooms but they have 2 lounge areas and 2 rooftop terraces which show how much they care about every guest! You can watch the sunrise from the rooftop, enjoying the sound of the waves. The hosts were incredibly nice and ensured I had an amazing stay. The room that I stayed in was beautiful- all the little details made it very charming and comfortable. It’s located in an incredibly cute side street.

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.
