Villa Maroc Essaouira

Hotel composed of four traditional riads in Essaouira's UNESCO medina

Rooms & Suites

Villa Maroc Essaouira is formed from four interconnected 18th-century houses, each with its own character and layout. Some rooms offer sea views and separate living rooms, while others are tucked away in quiet corners of the riad complex. The hotel provides 24-hour front desk assistance and luggage storage for guests arriving early or leaving late.

Dining & Cuisine

Each morning, a complimentary traditional Moroccan breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace overlooking the ocean and the medina. Dinner consists of creative cuisine made from local produce, cooked on an open fire in the atmospheric restaurant. The hotel also offers a snack bar, packed lunches, and special diet menus upon request.

Wellness & Relaxation

The on-site Oriental Spa offers a full range of treatments including hammam, massages, facials, and body wraps. Guests also have access to a heated swimming pool at the sister property, Les Jardins de Villa Maroc, set in the peaceful countryside. Spa packages and wellness programs are available, with facilities such as a steam room, sauna, and solarium.

Experiences & Activities

The hotel hosts cooking classes where guests prepare traditional Moroccan dishes with a local chef, followed by a market tour to select fresh ingredients. Other activities include bike tours, walking tours, horse riding, and windsurfing - all arranged directly by reception. For cultural immersion, themed dinner nights and pub crawls are also available upon request.
