Featuring garden views, Riad Dar Awil is situated in Essaouira, 6 km from Golf de Mogador. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also has a family-friendly restaurant and an outdoor fireplace.

The riad dar Awil was the second at during my trip and it did set up expectations for the others. The service from the personal is excellent. They are polite, professional and made sure I have a quick check in and a comfortable stay. Rooms were super clean, the hotel seems to be new, the design was super cozy. Breakfast was great. Thank you to everyone at Riad Dar Awil for making my stay so memorable. I could gladly return and recommend this riad to anyone visiting Essaouira.

Attractively located in Essaouira, Dar Adul features an à la carte breakfast and free WiFi. The property has sea and inner courtyard views, and is 600 metres from Plage d'Essaouira.

We had an amazing stay at Dar Adul, received a really warm welcome from the team there and our room was great. The location of this hotel is perfect for watching sunset and the terrace directly looks over the ramparts which has the best view of the sunset in the town. The breakfast was exceptional and could be served wherever you wanted it. The towels and bed linen were really nice and they did some laundry for us too at a very reasonable price. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Wonderful stay in the Riad Kafila, very clean, perfect location, magnificent breakfast on the terrace with a view on the Atlantic Ocean. Also our room had a view on the Atlantic Ocean, it was incredible! The staff is very helpful, however, make sure to take quick showers if you are more than 2 people in the room. The hot water boiler does not heat a lot of water, might be tricky, but not impossible:)

Located 3 km from Essaouira in the Marrakech-Tensift-Haouz Region, Villa Beldi features a heated outdoor pool and terrace.

The staff were the best part, the most welcoming, helpful, kind, fun people. They really made sure we were looked after and were so attentive. Breakfast was wonderful every day, a serving of fruits with a delicious homemade yogurt, fresh tasty Moroccan bread and pancakes, and eggs however you liked, a little variety each day, and always served with a smile! The pool was beautiful and the grounds are stunning. The location was out of town enough to be serene and feel like your own little paradise, but close enough to get to the town in less than 5 minutes by car, we even went for a little run one morning to the town it’s that easy. Overall a memorable stay that was the perfect start to our Moroccan holiday, thank you so much to the whole Villa Beldi team!!

Boasting pool views, Terrasses vertes features accommodation with terrace, around 13 km from Golf de Mogador.

We had a 3-night stay at Terrasses Vertes. At first it was a bit difficult to find as we didn't read the instructions, so do that ;) Simon, the host, was super friendly and welcoming. We had had a little issue with our room and after addressing it to Simon, we could get another room which was perfect! Great service. Rooms provide all comforts and the garden/pool area provide a perfect place to relax (in March it was still a bit too cold for a swim, but chilling in the afternoon/evening sun was amazing! Breakfast ist good, didn't try dinner thought (had that in Essaouira).

Located in Essaouira, 7.5 km from Golf de Mogador, Libert'Art features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and barbecue facilities.

Honestly flawless. The hosts are incredible and work so hard to create a little slice of paradise only 15 minutes away from Essaouria. This was the perfect place for me to relax, work and study for my exams. The only small thing I would say, it would have been good to know that there are no shops or restaurants within walking distance and no food (except breakfast) served, so make sure if you don't have a car, that you bring some food with you for the first day!

Featuring pool views, Riad Ghazal offers accommodation with patio, around 3.8 km from Golf de Mogador. This property offers access to a terrace, a pool table, free private parking and free WiFi.

Arrived here from Marrakesh... the long-way... with some 5 hours in the saddle. Bit of a bugger to find from the road using Google Maps initially... but easy when you know how... and look for the signs! However the hospitality was overwhelming with a "bikers beverage of choice" and a quick brief of the Riad and room facilities... Jamal and Kati made me feel very welcome indeed. Great accommodation and very secure parking for many bikes. The room was excellent with great en-suite facilities. The shower was hot and powerful... great for my aches and pains! The bed was big and comfortable. Although they didn't offer dinner the french restaurant they recommended was tres magnifique... and only 400m from the accommodation. The sunset "beverage" on the terrace was idyllic... no noise... just birdsong! I slept like the dead and woke to a magnificent breakfast on the patio overlooking the pool... I did not want to leave! Again I would stay here every time I come to the west coast of Morocco... and despite not being in Essaouira... its in Ghazoua... about 8km outside... its worth it for the peace and tranquility... and that restaurant up the road! I really didn't want to leave... but Casablanca was calling! But to any travellers... especially bikers... for me, it doesn't get any better than this for a weary traveller to rest! to Jamal and Kati... Thank you... Shkran... Tanmirt... Merçi... Je suis Mouchè... ton ami!

    We booked for 9 nights, arrived and didn’t feel comfortable at all cause the hygienic circumstances were not what we expect an accommodation to be. There was mould on the walls and so we decided to leave and look for another place. The place seemed like a good choice but due to the mould and its harmful impact on one’s health we couldn’t stay. If the hygienic circumstances change it would be a great hostel.

    Amazing stay that combines the service and convenience of staying in a Riad with the privacy of a private home. The staff were lovely and available for included and additional services (we recommend the shopping and meal at home!). The house is huge and comfortable for larger group stays. Friendly house cats were a bonus.
