The breakfast was excellent, mainly buffet style with a varied menu that included everything from savoury vegetable cakes, delicious omelettes, fresh figs and poached pears in syrup.... all freshly prepared, delicious! The roof top area is calm and beautiful, plants abound and there is a large pool and shady places to have a drink or light lunch. The colonial style decor is very tasteful with lots of dark wood fittings ad chic beige and brown colour schemes. Our bathroom was fabulous. This is a beautiful hotel with impeccable service and standards we would highly recommend it! Thank you for a wonderful stay and the free upgrade to a marvellous suite.

A pleasant, comfortable stay and in my opinion the city is one of the best I have seen of many cities so far in Morocco. Nothing to fault about the hotel itself, the receptionists and the waiter who served breakfast (which was delicious to have) were welcoming and pleasant. The only thing that I personally found to be (slightly) disturbing was the "clock tower year 1912" which rang out of sync with the times at all times of the day. Thank you Essaouira and I will see you soon!

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.

    A pleasant though very windy place. A charming medina. Good restaurants and plenty of fresh fish. Definitely worth having a hire car. Some lovely upmarket hotels/spas in the surrounding countryside.

    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.

    Mix of old town, port and beach.

    Mix of old town, port and beach. In danger of becoming a little overrun with tourists during day. All felt very safe. Loads of usual souk shops - especially notable are the wood ones (Thuya). Large gently sloping beach, good for watersports. Don't miss the port - very active during day - buy some fish and get it cooked nearby very cheaply, but can get very busy (and chaotic!). Wide range of restaurants, recommend the Ocean Vagabond at far end of beach. Taros bar is liveliest place, but drinks pricey. Note of caution : We did get get some food poisoning, difficult to be precise, but seemed to stem from one meal at a 'good' restaurant ( I won't name and shame as cannot be totally sure !?) , probably from a salad or fruit dessert ?

    At Cultural Morocco Tours, we highly recommend including Essaouira in your Moroccan journey. This charming coastal city, known as the “Pearl of the Atlantic,” offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and relaxation. Visitors can wander through its UNESCO-listed medina with whitewashed houses and blue shutters, explore the lively souks and artisan workshops, and enjoy the fresh Atlantic breeze along the city’s beautiful beach. Essaouira is also famous for its delicious seafood, vibrant music scene, and warm, laid-back atmosphere. Whether for a day trip or a few relaxing nights, Essaouira is an unforgettable stop that captures the essence of Morocco’s coastal charm. Cultural Morocco Tours

    Beautiful hotel and apartment, very modern in brown and beige colors with beautiful golden morrocan lights. Everything is fresh, clean and with very good smelling aromas. Reception: very nice men and women, helped us with anything, even taxi in the night. Rooftop terase restaurant: amazing view at the sea, nice breze in the evening and the best food and waiters, especially mr.Reduane. We also enjoyed the room service a lot! We felt very welcome and appreciated. We will definately come here again.

    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 .

    Emma & Giles and their team are lovely, thoughtful people which their hospitality reflects. Giles gave us a lot of useful advice on Essaouira; Emma’s interior decoration skills are worthy of a 5 star hotel and the breakfast provided was extensive and very high quality. The security guard (whose name I didn’t get) helped us fix our broken car.
