The Port of Essaouira is not only home to many fishing boats and vessels, it is a popular tourist attraction and has a significant and interesting history attached to it. Fishing is done for local distribution and plays a significant role in the atmosphere and lure to the port. The Essaouira port is not used for commercial traffic and this has enabled it to retain its authenticity and breathtaking charm.

It’s situated just off a Main Street and feels very safe and the breakfast was amazing. Couldn’t recommend this enough, we ...

Great place in the Medina

A lovely character place to stay in the Medina. Paid the extra for breakfast and it was well worth it. Can't fault it other than one thing. It lists, on site parking but the hotel is in the Medina, pedestrian only so need to pay and park outside of there. It wasn't a problem once I'd found that out ...

"It was perfect! The riad was in a perfect location, it was in the centre of the medina with everything so close by. The room was clean and had all the amenities needed. The breakfast was great and the staff were responsive - Rita was brill! The riad itself was gorgeous, with a lovely rooftop and a great lounge area. We got some great restaurant recommendations from staff too. I definitely will be coming back to this beautiful riad and Essaouira ❤️ "
