Villa Quieta, hotel in Essaouira

Featuring free WiFi, Villa Quieta is set in Essaouira. Free private parking is available on site.

This Riad was more like a palace. It was huge and exceedingly beautiful, both the public areas and the suite that we stayed in. Breakfast was generous and varied. The pool was beautiful and I wish I had had more time just to spend by the pool. Staff were polite, attentive and helpful. I would most definitely return.

Suite Azur Hotel, hotel in Essaouira

Featuring a shared lounge, a terrace as well as a restaurant, Suite Azur Hotel is set in the centre of Essaouira, 700 metres from Plage d'Essaouira.

Everything was incredible! As soon as we walked into the riad, we felt relaxed and welcomed. Farah and Yusuf made us feel so comfortable throughout our stay and couldn't do enough to make our stay perfect. Our room was exceptional and it was cleaned thoroughly everyday. There's also so much design put into every aspect of the riad that we couldn't stop taking photos. We also were fortunate to enjoy the rooftop terrace and plunge pool every afternoon which also protected us from the Essaouira wind! Breakfast was also amazing and we thoroughly looked forward to beginning each day being spoiled with so much fresh food. Essaouira is amazing but the riad gave us a have of peace as soon as we entered it. In fact we enjoyed our stay so much, that we extended it directly with the riad! We'll definitely be back.

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.

    great city, nice medina it is more comfortable than the one in Marrakesh since there is no car and moto traffic, the beach is vast , clean. Fish market is amazing, must see. You can buy any fish there , get it cleaned and grilled. The are street markets in the center and very decent Carrefour supermarket with paper bags only. It is easy to park anywhere outside medina . The city is walkable , illuminated at night, it feels save to me to walk around. Just for roads crossing one should be careful - the drivers dont stop until pedestrian starts crossing. The city is clean enough compared to other cities we have seen ( like El Jadida or smaller cities in between).I like that plastic bottles are not seen in the streets - they are returned for some fees and thus collected.

    Not as ‘hip’ as I’d expected but still worth visiting for the old town and souks. Nice walk along the beach and some good restaurants. Great horse ride along the beach but take care to book a reputable stable.

    Essaouira is a relatively small, compact, ancient, traditional Moroccan city. Narrow alleyways and traditional architecture. Cafes, stalls etc. An interesting fishing boat filled harbour with animated action, fish gutting, cooking, selling etc. City walls and fortresses to explore. Friendly non hassling people. Much more relaxing than Marrakech, whilst still having exotic ambiance. Inumerable restaurants serving good food at reasonable prices. You can walk from one side of the city to the other in 15 minutes (if you don't lose yourself in the maze!) This was a former 'hippy' hangout and it is easy to understand why.

    Lovely hotel with great, friendly staff. Located at the end of the beach, a really nice 15-20 minute walk along the promenade to the old town. Breakfast was tasty and very generous. Decoration on the interior of the hotel is stunning - really ornate in lots of places. Also beautiful garden which is a really nice, calm place for a cup of tea in the sun.
