Atlas Essaouira Riad Resort, hotel in Essaouira

Located on the beachfront in Essaouira, this 5-star hotel features 2 swimming pools, a fitness centre and a spa with hammam. It offers air-conditioned guest rooms and some have a balcony.

The Resort is located right in front of the beach, and we were lucky enough to receive an upgrade room with view over the ocean for our girls to enjoy more their stay. The personelle was really courteous, nice and kind. They are very accomodating and helpful. The young man by the reception was very kind to give us some tips and explained to us different great places in Essaouira and transport and handed us a huge map of Essaouira. :) The pool area was very good maintaining the good hygiejne and made it easier to keep an eye on the kids. The Garden/veranda was really beautiful and relaxing and the fresh winds from the ocean made it very enjoyable. Omg! We enjoyed the morrocan mint te so much! The lady by the breakfast entrance indeed so smiling and accomodating, all of them! And until we left the hotel the guard man was very helpful and made sure we left the hotel with smiles in our faces. We were so lucky to witness the tour du maroc right in front of our hotel.. We had the best times! The sunset it feels so romantic over the Essaouira beach, our horse riding and camel riding experience were the most unforgetable while facing the surfing and kites in the sea. The sand of the beach was the finest and feels good at our feet! And oh the colorful medin! Only if we had more time and if only Ayla and Ayana likes to long distance walking, we’d probably enjoy more the place! And it feels so great to have visited the Essaouira fish port! The best fish port I ever seen in my life! With variety of fishes and I made sure to have tried some of them! Essaouira's Ramparts are featured most in the Game or Thrones' Astapor scenes, gladiator and many more! It was an overall experience that will for sure remain in our memories! We will definetly go back to Essaouira and wiæl always choose to stay at this place.

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.

    Small Moroccan Medina compared to the bigger cities, easy to get around and not too crowded with plenty of restaurant options A working port with fresh seafood readily available. A very windy coastal location favoured by wind surfers. A great place to chill out for a few days

    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.

    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.

    Location is excellent. Concern and care from the staff, advising of places to visit and to familiarize when we arrived. Adaption of breakfast to our travel plans the morning we left. They have a restaurant that is associated to the property which is outstanding!! One of the best meals we ever had and they made the effort to accommodate us because we were staying at the hotel. We also appreciated that the restaurant was pushed on us as an option but suggested.

    Perfect location. Lovely quiet street, but easy walking distance to all amenities. The hotel and room were beautiful (much better than the pictures). The breakfast was delicious and all prepared fresh. The staff were on hand for anything you needed and the room was cleaned excellently every morning. The best hotel we've probably ever stayed in. We'd come back to Essaouira just for this hotel and it's incredible rooms, service, food and ambience. Stunning.

    The hotel has an excellent location close to the medina wall and away from the noisiest areas but at the same time very easy walkable reach to any point in town. Our room was really beautiful and comfortable. The service was 5 star worthy - very polite, caring and accommodating in every way. They even did our laundry, clean shirts were returned the same day. My husband and I are in love with Essaouira, we'll be back and will stay in Dar Liouba again.
