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.

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.

    The personal was very helpful and did everything for us. The hotel and room beautiful, great location and the terrace great with magnificent view over the beach. Leila was especially helpful. When we arrived two people in our group were sick and we were a bit chaotic but she helped us arrange for a doctor and the medication. The day of checking out the grandmother in our group was also sick and she could stay longer in her room with no additional cost until she was prepared to travel. We are thankful and can really recommend this hotel.

    Essaouira is gorgeous and the Dar Halima is the perfect place to stay while visiting! Everything about it is gorgeous and it’s in a great location near the beach. It’s super clean, has stunning decor, and very comfortable rooms. The staff are amazing, so welcoming, and give great restaurant recommendations. The breakfast provided is also superbe! I can’t recommend this riad enough, if I was coming back I would book with them again in an instant. Our stay was incredibly pleasant and exactly what we were looking for!

    The breakfast was great. The staff are extremely helpful and they accommodated my late arrival. The staff also gave me tips on where to buy good, local honey. I was hoping for Moroccan dishes on the dinner menu. The restaurant is known for its seafood. There are seafood and fish tagines that are delicious and could be offered. The room was comfortable and fine for two nights. The location is fantastic if you want something close to the beach. And if you have a car, there are parking spaces in front of the hotel.

We were in the hotel when the Earthquake happened (8th Sept 2023), and we were looked after and informed as much as possible. The hotel staff were caring even though they were worried about their own families, in Essaouira and in the Atlas Mountains.
