Located in Essaouira’s medina, this seafront riad offers stylish rooms with a traditional Moroccan décor and 2 terraces with sea views. The hotel features a spa centre with a hammam and massage services. Beautiful Riad. We had the Saphir Suite…. One of onlya few rooms that overlook the ocean. Unbelievable view and well worth the money. The young lady at the front desk was so lovely and helpful. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Overlooking the old port and the beach, Hotel Madada Mogador offers comfort and space, combined with eastern refinement. The terrace offers panoramic views of Essaouira Bay.

Hotel Madada Mogador offers comfortable rooms individually decorated with minimalist-style furniture. Each elegant room offers modern facilities and is decorated in neutral tones. Perfect location close to the walls of the Medina, but also close to "all the action". Great view over the ocean and beach. Wonderful terrace for breakfast and chilling. The interior was cool, felt authentic. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. We had the best breakfasts of our Morocco trip here, with some fruit (we had been longing for it in other places before this!!). The room is spacious enough, and with ocean view.

At the heart of the Old Medina, La Maison des Artistes is within walking distance to the souks, fishing port and beach. It features a panoramic rooftop terrace with views of the ocean and Skala de la Kasbah monument. Free Wi-Fi is available.

Each is uniquely decorated and some have panoramic windows with views of the Atlantic Ocean. Such a beautiful situation right in front of the sea. The guest house was right in the heart of the Medina. It was so special. One of the most memorable places we have ever stayed. The lovely suite opened onto the terrace overlooking the sea. Everything was perfect. Isabelle, our hostess, was utterly charming and looked after our every need including excellent advice regarding the town, guides, and where to eat. We certainly recommend this special place!
