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 was quiet in my room at night. The view on the roof is nice, but I thought it would be closer to the ocean from the picts. It’s pretty deep in the Medina…with the port area nearest..which is kinda nasty/stinky. My room was small but clean, a window that opened to a wall."

"A beautiful hotel in a fantastic location. We had a room with a direct sea view, and the sound of the sea crashing on the rocks below was hypnotic. Brilliant, friendly, kind, attentive staff, a fantastic roof terrace, amazing views, incredibly comfortable bed. It is a lovely, lovely place."
