Maison Du Sud  

Tucked into Essaouira’s historic medina, a short stroll from the Mohammed Ben Abdallah Museum and Skala de la Ville. Minutes from Essaouira Beach and the old port, the pet-friendly boutique riad sits roughly 300 m from the sea.

Housed in a beautifully restored 18th-century riad with Moorish and Andalusian touches, the property has 24 traditionally furnished rooms. Expect quiet salons, daily housekeeping, private bathrooms, safes and desks, plus rooftop terraces with sea views for breakfast or a sunset drink. Rooms feature classic local materials and drawings for an authentic Moroccan vibe.

Two large rooftop terraces with sea views, four bars and lounges, a cozy lobby fireplace and an on-site library. Wellness options include a spa area with massage facilities and a steam room. Concierge, babysitting (surcharge), laundry/dry cleaning, parking assistance and activity/tour booking are available. Airport transfers and private taxi service can be arranged for a fee.

Complimentary wireless internet is available on the premises. Express check-in and a conference hall are offered for meetings and events.

Dine at Restaurant Maison Du Sud for authentic Moroccan cuisine, grab coffee in the on-site café, or unwind at one of four bars. A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily from 7:30–11:00, and 24-hour room service keeps late nights covered.
