Well located in Essaouira, Riad YAHIA ZAMANE provides an à la carte breakfast and free WiFi. It is located 600 metres from Plage d'Essaouira and offers a 24-hour front desk. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace.

The riad features certain units with inner courtyard views, and every unit includes a patio. The units include a private bathroom, free toiletries and bed linen. Ideal location inside the medina, close to the restaurants and markets and yet only 5mins from the beach. There is a large car park just outside the nearby gate. The riad has a lovely roof terrace looking out over the sea where breakfast is served, and a perfect place just to chill and read a book. Yassine, the manager, could not have been more attentive and any need is no problem. Served with a smile. Great place to stay and good value.

Well located in Essaouira, Riad Babette provides an à la carte breakfast and free WiFi. Private parking is available on site. Extra facilities include a 24-hour front desk, meeting rooms, a tour desk and housekeeping service. A perfect stay in the heart of Essaouira I can't recommend this riad highly enough. Tucked away in the medina yet peaceful and calm, it offered the perfect blend of comfort, charm, and authentic Moroccan hospitality. Every detail was thoughtfully designed — from the beautifully decorated rooms to the rooftop terrace with stunning views of the sea and city. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive throughout our stay. We felt not like guests, but like part of a family. Breakfast each morning was a highlight: fresh fruit, warm msemen, homemade jams, and mint tea served with a smile. The location is ideal — a short walk to the beach, the port, the souks, and all the best restaurants and cafés. Yet once inside the riad, it feels like a tranquil oasis away from the bustle. We’ve stayed in many places across Morocco, but this riad truly stands out for its atmosphere, warmth, and attention to detail. We’ll definitely be back.

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. The location was really good, in the heart of Essaouira, but tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main streets. It had real character and charm. The staff who we had contact with , Chichham and the young lady on reception who I sadly haven't got her name, could not have been more friendly and helpful. They really added to our stay there. The room we had was comfortable and very clean, which was a theam of the rest of the accommodation. I would be very happy to go back there , and would happily recommend Riad dar Sebta to anyone looking to stay at a Riad in Essaouira.

Riad EspritBleu - Adult Only offers accommodation set 200 metres from the centre of Essaouira and features barbecue facilities and a shared lounge. This recently renovated riad is located 700 metres from Plage d'Essaouira and 6 km from Golf de Mogador. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, full-day security and luggage storage for guests. We stayed here for two nights using it as a base before finding something different. Having moved to somewhere else we realised how beautiful this place is. The breakfast is amazing. And Helene who served the breakfast is lovely. The basic room was a little cramped for two people and two suitcases but still very nicely decorated. I would definitely stay there again.
