Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Essaouira

Boasting sea views, Zayyna hôtel de charme Essaouira features accommodation with an infinity pool, a garden and a bar, around 6.7 km from Golf de Mogador. The property has mountain and pool views. There is a restaurant serving Moroccan cuisine, and free private parking is available. This beautiful new boutique hotel is stunningly designed, with every detail carefully thought through and perfectly in harmony. The architecture blends seamlessly into the peaceful countryside, and the interior décor is refined and consistent throughout. The Tamegroute pottery in particular added such a unique touch. The palm tree-lined driveway creates a sense of grandeur as you arrive. From the terrace, the views of the surrounding landscape are simply breathtaking. The pool is delightful: the water temperature was just right, and the sun loungers were comfortable. We stayed in the most basic (and therefore cheapest) room, but it was absolutely perfect: beautifully decorated, a comfortable bed, and a fantastic shower. This is the ideal place to escape the busy work life and truly relax. Some other reviewers mentioned the access road, but we honestly don’t understand the complaints. It’s just a typical Moroccan gravel side road, easily manageable if you drive slowly – as you should anyway, since you often come across goat herds on the way! The food is delicious; not an extensive menu, but that makes perfect sense for such a small-scale hotel where guests often dine in Essaouira. This way, every meal is fresh and nothing goes to waste. The tajines were outstanding, cooked with love, and the breakfasts were a real treat too: different types of pancakes, bread, a freshly made omelette. What really sets this hotel apart is the wonderful staff. We have traveled to Morocco before and know the warmth of Moroccan hospitality, but the kindness and genuine care of this team were truly exceptional. During our stay, nothing was ever too much trouble. Each staff member, in their own way, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for, and they did it from the heart! They also had a wonderful team spirit among themselves, which made us feel like part of the Zayyna family. Saying goodbye was genuinely difficult.

Located just 13 km from Golf de Mogador, Villa Coriandre provides accommodation in Essaouira with access to an infinity pool, a garden, as well as a 24-hour front desk. There is an on-site restaurant and free private parking. Guests can make use of the sun terrace or the picnic area, or enjoy views of the pool and garden. If I could give this place more than a score of 10, I would. The installations were impeccable and the service was exceptional. It really only works if you have a car or are able to take a taxi to downtown (which could be costly), but we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend. The breakfast and dinner were incredible! We hope to be back!
