A beautiful riad well located in the Medina. Mostafa at the front desk was incredibly helpful with great recommendations for the town. The room was incredibly clean and the bed was the most comfortable I’ve stayed in for a long time! Would absolutely recommend to future visitors!

Beautiful rooms and amazing location, very easy to locate and perfect base to explore Essaouira. Our host, Mustapa, was attentive, kind, and such a genuinely happy host, nothing felt like too much trouble. We kept extending our stay by a night each time as we still wanted to keep exploring, Mustapa sorted everything and it was easy and hassle free. Just perfect!

The room felt slightly damp, but that was just because of the humidity. We opened the windows and aired it and it was fine.

The most amazing staff who were so welcoming and accomodating! Great location, close to the bus station, the beach and lots of restaurants. The Riad provides a list of great food options which we were slowly ticking off

Amazing Riad - so new and well decorated - was very clean - we decided to stay 2 nights as we loved it so much

Stayed in June 2025

The room was quite dusty and humid. There is no ac which doesn’t help. The room was quite noisy, as we could hear voices from the street even keeping the windows closed.

Good location, good price and nice staff!

The staff were all very nice and welcoming. The room was clean and had everything we needed. We had some nice breakfast freshly prepared for us in the morning including an omelette, a smoothie and coffee. The location is ideal is it is in the medina but a fairly quiet part of it and we could reach everything by foot. Particularly handy if you are travelling by supr@tours as the stop is only like 500 meters away from the riad.

The property is very well located, a few minutes from everything that you need and at the same time from the bus station. It’s nice and confortable, with friendly and helpfull staff that make your stay very pleasant. The host, Badr, was especially kind and very welcoming, suggesting us a super nice surfing lesson and even taking us personally by car there. He was also very responsive and helpful with suggestions for restaurants and what to do in Essaouira. He made our stay really nice.

During the night it can be a bit noisy as all the rooms are located around a main courtyard that echoes all sounds. In our case, we could hear some noises when we went to sleep but eventually this stopped.

The Riad was in a perfect location. It is new and with nice decoration that makes it look a quiet and calm place to rest. The staff was nice and welcoming. The rooms are quite big and comfortable.

I love how bright and airy it is. You feel like part of a family and the breakfast is stunning. Special shout out to Mustafa for my packed lunch to take to the airport. These guys are the best

Exceptional! Absolutely worth booking. Riad Cala Bianca is such a gem in Essaouira. My friend and I only spent a night there but it was perfect. The rooms are spotless, clean and well decorated. The atmosphere is unique, the rooftop terrace is ideal to catch the sun and relax. Thank you again for such a great stay, we will come back 💜 Merci à Badr pour ton accueil!!

The staff at this place are incredible, they made us feel extra welcome and were always happy to help us out. The place is quite cosy and is easy to find, the Medina can become complicated to navigate but fortunately this place is very close to one of the Medina entrances and so you won't be wandering about aimlessly. I'm also quite certain the staff would help out if you had any issues. There was a lovely terrace on the top where we sat and enjoyed the sun. The breakfast was also very nice with an option of breads and preserves (which seems to be fairly common in Morocco but this place still did one of the better versions). I did find the fact that the bathroom was separated by only a curtain a little odd but overall not too bad. I imagine it would be hard to find a place for the same level of value as this.

The shower drain didn‘t work properly.

The riad is amazing! It‘s really modern and the people are really friendly and helpful. Our room was huge and beautiful. The breakfast was amazing! There is a parking spot really close to the riad (~7 minutes walk). The riad is good located with everything to see in walking distance. We would definitely recommend the riad!

Everything was incredible. The room was beautiful and comfortable. The location was great as there was parking very close. The breakfast was fantastic and the lady making it was so friendly. All the staff were unbelievably welcoming and helpful. It was such a wonderful stay, we wished we could have stayed longer. It was our favorite stay on our two week roadtrip.

The cleanliness of the bathroom was substandard - The shower drain was blocked, the likely cause of the black mold dotted around the shower walls. They were quick to try and resolve this issue by cleaning the mold, yet it wasn't that effective and didn't deal with the root cause. All the windows/doors were interior so it does get echoey and loud if people are downstairs in the communal area, yet it is a riad so this was to be expected.

The riad was in a great location - The staff were really friendly & helpful. Zahira was very welcoming and always had a smile on her face as she served us an array of delicious moroccan breakfasts. Momo was pleasant and provided various recommendations for places to eat and things to do along with a map on which he pointed out the various location. The bed was comfy and spacious.
