Location
Rising above the rooftops of Essaouira's Medina, the riad offers panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, the city walls and the winding streets below. The beach, the port, the Scala, the restaurants, shops and souks are all a short walk away — a car-free holiday.
Enjoy spectacular Medina and sea views from the sunny terrace and the shaded rooftop lounge, where you can have tea or breakfast, read a book or chat with friends in great comfort.
Staff and service
This is a full-service riad. Azzedine and his team will cater to your needs, ensuring a carefree stay while retreating away when not needed to guarantee your privacy.
We can help you organise excursions, glamping days on unspoiled beaches, kitesurfing trips and lessons, quad excursions, horse riding, yoga and a personal trainer.
A magical space
Inside, soaring wooden ceilings and south-facing windows flood every room with light, and the riad unfolds across four floors.
The ground floor preserves its historic arched space, now reimagined as a private wellness retreat with a traditional hammam, an ice bath that doubles as a hot tub, showers, a fountain and a yoga studio. Gather in the open kitchen and dining room by the fireplace, relax in the living room and central hall, watch a film in the cinema room or retreat to the rooftop.
This riad is more than a place to stay — it is a window into Essaouira's history and a sanctuary of light, views and comfort.
Authenticity and comfort
With a blend of art deco and traditional Moroccan decoration, the riad offers stylish warmth and comfort throughout. Every bedroom is designed for restful sleep, with top-of-the-line mattresses and high-quality linen, and wooden shutters and soundproof double-glazed windows keep it quiet.
