Amazing stay! Very big spacious rooms. Friendly helpful staff. Delicious breakfast. The rooftop bar is such a nice place to watch the sunset and have a drink, also cool vibe with a dj. Highly recommend this place, my fave whilst in Morocco. Great location and not noisy when going to sleep.

Nice decoration in Maroccan style. Clean. On the main street. Be aware that you are near minaret so it is calling to prayer starting early morning, about 4.30. Seaguls are also very loud on the side facing minaret. Young boy on reception struggle writing latin alphabet, so let the customers fill the formular, it will be easier for both sides. But anyway 10 rate from us!

I had the pleasure of staying at côté océan in Essaouira, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived until the day of my departure, everything about this hotel left me feeling rejuvenated and utterly satisfied. First and foremost, the location of the hotel is an absolute dream for beach lovers. Just a short stroll of less than one minute takes you directly to the golden sands and crashing waves of the breathtaking beach. I couldn't have asked for a better proximity to the sea, as we had a private space in the beach, as it allowed me to fully immerse myself in the natural beauty and tranquility of Essaouira's coastline. thank you so much for the unforgettable stay

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.

    At Cultural Morocco Tours, we highly recommend including Essaouira in your Moroccan journey. This charming coastal city, known as the “Pearl of the Atlantic,” offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and relaxation. Visitors can wander through its UNESCO-listed medina with whitewashed houses and blue shutters, explore the lively souks and artisan workshops, and enjoy the fresh Atlantic breeze along the city’s beautiful beach. Essaouira is also famous for its delicious seafood, vibrant music scene, and warm, laid-back atmosphere. Whether for a day trip or a few relaxing nights, Essaouira is an unforgettable stop that captures the essence of Morocco’s coastal charm. Cultural Morocco Tours

    Beautiful, beautiful hotel. A gift for the eyes. Decorated with taste, clean. Nice room, nice terrace for breakfast (and good breakfast). Handy to have a restaurant on the ground floor. Location is the best, super close to both Medina and beach. Although it may not be the best riad for children (it's very spacious, but with lots of things that can break), the hotel did everything to accommodate our 2 year old.

    Fatima and the other girls from the reception were exceptionally nice! Big thanks to them! The breakfast was one of the best we had in our one week holiday in Morocco. The room was big and clean. The hotel was walking distance from the beach and the kasbah. There is also free parking and a nice Carrefour supermarket nearby. Nothing to complain about.
