Hotel Des Iles

On Essaouira’s wind-scoured coast, steps from Essaouira Beach and a short walk to Skala du Port and Place Moulay el Hassan. Situated on Boulevard Mohammed V in the city centre, you’re minutes from the medina, galleries and the port.

This central hotel mixes classic coastal charm with individual touches across 63 individually decorated rooms. Many rooms open onto private balconies or patios, so you can catch sea breezes and harbour views. Rooms come with private bathrooms, TVs and in-room basics like hair dryers and bathrobes. The property has a reception, concierge and a small lively vibe—Orson Welles once stayed here while filming Othello.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool and unwind at the poolside bar. Nights can be lively too, with an on-site nightclub and a bar/lounge for after-dinner drinks. Active guests can rent bicycles or stroll to nearby beaches and sights. Practical touches include complimentary Wi‑Fi, a tour desk and transfer services, parking on site, picnic and barbecue areas, laundry and on-call doctor assistance.

A business centre and meeting room support events, with about 5,382 sq ft (500 m²) of conference space available. The hotel offers express check-in, limo/town car service and a roundtrip airport shuttle for a surcharge.

Choose from three on-site restaurants including Khaima, plus a coffee shop for snacks and a poolside bar for casual drinks. 24-hour room service is available and buffet breakfasts are served daily. Sip a mint tea or relax with cocktails after a day exploring Essaouira.
