Offering a restaurant, Riad Baladin is located in Essaouira. An array of activities can be enjoyed on site or in the surroundings, including surfing. Free WiFi access is available in all areas.

Each room here will provide you with a patio view. Featuring a shower or a bath, private bathroom also comes with a hairdryer. Extras include an outdoor seating area and bed linen. The riad is a little oasis of tranquility in the bustling medina. A perfect blend between traditional architecture and comfort, the riad is designed very well to let in a lot of light, which is often not the case in Morocco. The single room is snug but stil feels spacious. The bathroom was very clean. I didn't use the hot tub, but they have a system where you can easily book it over the course of the day (it's almost always available) and so you can have it to yourself! The breakfast on the terrace is excellent both in terms of location and the quality of the food. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, starting from Felix, the manager, as well as the breakfast staff and the night guard, who prepared an excellent breakfast for me before opening times.

Set on the city wall, this beautiful riad offers a rooftop terrace overlooking the old medina of Essaouira. Its spacious guest rooms are elegantly decorated with Moroccan design and a fireplace.

All of the air-conditioned rooms at the Riad Chbanate are also equipped with a TV and a luxurious bathroom with bathtub. They all overlook the riad’s indoor patio. The cosiness of the room with the fireplace too good. The beauty of the Ryad also.

At the heart of the Old Medina, La Maison des Artistes is within walking distance to the souks, fishing port and beach. It features a panoramic rooftop terrace with views of the ocean and Skala de la Kasbah monument. Free Wi-Fi is available.

Each is uniquely decorated and some have panoramic windows with views of the Atlantic Ocean. Beautiful accommodation. The view at the roof terrace is otherworldly. Very clean - the place is thoroughly cleaned everyday - and the breakfast is very good. Isabelle has a sense of hospitality that is "hors catégorie". I am a solo traveler, and Isabelle and Abdelkader really took care of me; it felt like a sanctuary. Isabelle gives great recommendations on where to eat. One day Isabelle took me to the market to buy some fish, chose a restaurant for me where they grilled the fish and even showed me how to eat sardines the Moroccan way. Do visit the hammam, Isabelle makes reservations. My only regret is that I did it the last day of my stay, otherwise I would have definitely done it again.
