Riad Dar Etto, hotel in Essaouira

Located just 8 km from Essaouira Medina, the Riad Dar Etto is a guest accommodation featuring an indoor swimming pool and a restaurant with terrace. It offers air-conditioned accommodation.

We had a fantastic stay in Riad Dar Etto, the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms are lovely, spacious and clean. The pool is beautiful and a great place to relax. The Riad is about 15 minutes outside of essaouira by car and when we were there the owners ordered us taxis to get in and out of the town which cost 50 Dirhams each way which is very good value.

Ryad Watier & SPA, hotel in Essaouira

Located in the heart of the medina in Essaouira, Ryad Watier & SPA offers a unique setting for a relaxing and lazy stay.

The Watier Riad is a beautifully decorated place with spacious, charming rooms. The staff made our stay truly enjoyable, and I'd like to especially mention Fatiha, who warmly welcomed us, explained everything we needed to know to ensure our experience was perfect, and provided great recommendations for exploring the town and dining. Other staff members, such as Gabriel and the young lady who was there in the evening, were also incredibly friendly, professional, and pleasant. We are used to staying in high-end accommodations, and I’m pleased to say that this Riad did not disappoint. The breakfast was good, though not particularly unique. Like many places in Morocco, it offered the same items, which can feel repetitive after a few days. I hope the Riad takes the initiative to introduce some fresh, creative options with more accent on savoury items. That said, the quality was still good. I also appreciated the premium shower products, which smelled lovely. Overall, the experience was wonderful, and I would highly recommend this Riad to anyone visiting.

Riad Baladin, hotel in Essaouira

Offering a restaurant, Riad Baladin is located in Essaouira. An array of activities can be enjoyed on site or in the surroundings, including surfing. Free WiFi access is available in all areas.

This is one of the best Riads I have stayed in. Located in a quiet part of the medina, it has bags of character. We are not talking luxury, just a really peaceful and easy feel to the place. The breakfasts are arguably the best I’ve had in Morocco and Felix is an excellent and helpful host.

It was basic but clean. Very friendly owner. The location is good, only a 10 min walk or so to the top of beach. Maybe a 30 min walk or so to the medina. We would stay here again 👍
