It features a flowery patio with an Andalusia fountain and the larges terraces where you can relax in the sun.

With its ocean front view, a top-notch maid service and dedication to exceptional service, the Riad Chems Bleu is a jewel of Essaouira. The highlight of our Morocco trip, Chems Bleu is just the best. The staff is so helpful and sweet, Souf even saw that it was my partner's birthday when we booked the place and surprised her with a cake and candle during breakfast. Location is great (many cats near the entrance which is great since we love cats) and they help you so much especially if it s your first time in Essaouira. Stay here and you'll have the best trip!

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. My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning place just 15 minutes from the heart of Essaouira, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm Moroccan hospitality, and every detail of our stay exceeded expectations. The highlight for us was definitely the heated swimming pool—a rare luxury in this area! Whether it was a refreshing morning dip or a relaxing evening swim under the stars, the temperature was always perfect. The setting was incredibly peaceful and picturesque. Our bungalow was spacious, immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. The beds were comfortable, and we appreciated the quiet, serene environment—a welcome break from the bustle of the medina. Breakfasts were generous and delicious, with local produce, fresh breads, and amazing Moroccan mint tea. The on-site restaurant also offered an excellent selection of Moroccan and international dishes. Staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The hosts Jeremy and Yousra were exceptionally helpful. If you’re looking for a luxurious, peaceful retreat with easy access to Essaouira, this property is the perfect choice. We left feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and already planning our return!

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. One of my favorite Riad stays in Morocco! The location is perfect - very central, with everything reachable within about 10 minutes. The room itself was beautifully decorated, and we loved having easy access to the outdoor seating area and breakfast. I’d love to come back! P.S. The breakfast is fabulous!

Near to the car parks outside the walls but within walking distance to all the markets, alleys, shops and restaurants. The breakfast was the best breakfast we had the whole trip and we have been up and down the whole coast. The view from the rooftop at breakfast was exceptional. The staff were incredibly friendly and kind and could not do enough. The bath was amazing and relaxing and they kindly lit a fire for the cool evening. We cannot wait to come back.
