Essaouira Beach

Honestly couldn’t have wished for a better stay. There are tons of riads and we searched far and wide After we booked it a few people had said they didn’t like the area which worried it but couldn’t be further from the truth - the area is great, very accessible for taxis and only a short walk to all the action. Felt very safe The Riad itself is absolutely stunning, even better than the photos. We liked to go out so it was easy to leave but you have everything you need there and more. It’s very chilled with lots of staff to make your stay special, not small but not big with only a few people so feels like your own special place - shout out to Farouk for making our stay special

Stayed September 2025, had a wonderful stay. The staff were so pleasant, welcoming and helpful and had arranged a taxi from the airport in advance at my request. The villa was clean and well presented with a comfortable bed and spotless bathroom. The aircon in the room was perfect, even feeling too cold one night which was a relief after a very hot day. I had seen some reviews online where people complained about the water pressure in the shower but this was not an issue at all. One morning there was no water but this was resolved in minutes. The pool was very cold but again a relief in the heat. The sunloungers could be more comfortable, but they do provide a sheet to cover it and a complimentary sun hat (I’ve never seen anywhere else do this). The neighbourhood is residential, quiet and clean. It felt very safe to walk around and felt like a locals area, with many restaurants and cafes within walking distance. The medina and other sights are about 20 minutes away by taxi but these were inexpensive and it was lovely to escape the chaos of the tourist area to the calm of Targa. The staff also recommended a local Uber type app to ensure cheap taxi travel so you were getting good value for money. Breakfast was wonderful consisting of bread, honey, jam, nuts, dates, tea, coffee and OJ consistently but there was a variation besides that each day including eggs, croissants, and Moroccan style pancakes. We never got bored of this. Would happily stay again
