I honestly think the pictures do not do justice to this beautiful property at all. The whole colonial style of the hotel makes you feel like you are a heroine from a 1920s movie. Yes, the property was renovated quite a while ago, but somehow that does not spoil the atmosphere whatsoever — if anything, it adds even more charm and authenticity to the place. We absolutely loved the rooms, the design, the restaurant and especially the courtyard. The entire property feels incredibly atmospheric and elegant. The staff was amazing throughout our stay, and the food was genuinely great as well. If I had to mention anything that could be improved, I would say the pool area could use a little refresh, and the rooftop terrace was not really up to par with the rest of the hotel. However, honestly, we were not planning to use the rooftop anyway, so it was very easy to overlook considering how beautiful the overall experience was.

Honestly, I don't think this hotel could have gotten any better, it's right on the beach, it was only an 8 min walk from the bus stop from Marrakech, about an 8 min walk to restaurants, and 10 mins from the medina. We were so fortunate to get upgraded to an ocean view room and we absolutely loved it and spent so much time on the balcony and enjoyed a few sunsets out there too. The wifi was good, the room was clean, the breakfast that was included was a great spread with a fresh omelette station, and bed's were comfy, what else could you ask for?!

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.

Essaouira is a beautiful coastal city with a unique charm.

Essaouira is a beautiful coastal city with a unique charm. I loved walking through the old medina, enjoying the fresh seafood, and watching the sunset by the beach. The atmosphere is peaceful, the people are friendly, and everything feels authentic. The only downside was that some places can get a bit crowded during peak times, but overall it was an amazing experience. I would definitely recommend visiting Essaouira and would love to come back again!

Essaouira is a really cool town to explore for a few days.

Essaouira is a really cool town to explore for a few days. I know people do it on a daytrip from Marrakech, but I recommend staying a few days. We spent 4 days there and could've stayed longer. Exploring the medina is so cool. It's small enough that you can't really get lost, but big enough that you can explore for a few days and still find new passageways. The beach nearby is fabulous! Long, wide, gentle waves, soft sand and plenty of space. At the far end of the beach from the medina, you can ride camels and horses on the beach. I'd read it was crazy windy in Essaouira, but it wasn't bad while we were there. It's a much more relaxed town than Marrakech, so for us was a great place to start our 2 week trip to Morocco. It also seemed less expensive than Marrakech overall. I really liked Marrakech, but loved Essaouira.

Essaouira has all of the elements of Marrakesh but without the hassels. On the coast so has a cooling sea breeze and fantastic beaches. Beautiful Madina with a vibrant souk area. Plenty of cafes and resturants. If looking for a different perspective on Morocco then 2 or 3 days in Essaouria would be well worth your time.

Beautiful seaside town. Vibrant, colourful medina.

Beautiful seaside town. Vibrant, colourful medina. Friendly locals. Excellent range of food options. Affordable & delicious. "Pumpkin" has the best bread & cakes, also "Patachou" French bakery. Local places, "Chama Resto" & newly opened "Saucer" great value. Lots of "live" music events & art. Dar Souiri, the main cultural hub, is excellent. Arrive prepared to discover why they call it The Windy City! The only downside is the rubbish. People throw stuff everywhere, in the streets, on the beach. Not enough large bins & they don't empty the existing ones often enough. Shame that litter spoils an otherwise gorgeous place.

After loooong days travelling and driving through Morocco`s inland, no matter how incredible the journey was (the mountains were just breathtaking everywhere, just to mention one thing at least), arriving to the ocean with mild breeze (ok, sometimes a bit too strong, but that`s the point of centre for surfers and kiters, right?) felt unexpectedly refreshing and rewarding. We even decided to stay 3 nights instead of 2 because we simply didn`t want to rush back to Marrakesh bustle, heat and - let`s be frank - dirt. Essaouira gave us just the opposite and those three days were totally relaxed by the seaside. Its vibe is definitely something; indescribable and totally different from other cities in Morocco we could experience. Either it is a much calm and more friendly medina (compared to the Marrakech`s one ), diverse and lively fish market at the harbour or colourful and buzzing street music scene, or just the chill at any part of beach promenade. I could literally spend hours watching the tide there or kiters and surfers trying their best till passing out. I can also recommend a nice walk toward Palais Dar Sultan and to Jimi Hendrix` Cafe and restaurant. Would be happy to come back anytime - maybe for the kiting session finally (that I could not afford this time due to my sickness). ;-)
