A flower-filled patio with an Andalusian fountain sets the tone at Chems Bleu. Individually coloured rooms and terraces looking towards the beach and port make it appealing for guests who enjoy a bright, intimate Essaouira stay.
Souiri craftsmanship gives Riad Malaïka its character, from thuja-wood furniture to copper details and tadelakt bathrooms. The restaurant's intimate dining rooms make it especially appealing for couples who want Moroccan cooking to be part of the experience.
Fireplaces and bathtubs turn Riad Chbanate's rooms into inviting places to linger. Set against Essaouira's city wall, the riad also has a rooftop terrace overlooking the medina and a sheltered inner patio.

Yoga classes and an open-air bath give Riad Le Khan Mogador a relaxed rhythm. Moroccan dishes, seafood and European cooking feature in the restaurant, while the terrace offers another place to unwind after the medina.
