Riad Al Madina

In the heart of Essaouira’s Medina at 9 rue Attarine, a short 200 m stroll from Essaouira Beach. Steps from Mohammed Ben Abdallah Museum, Skala de la Ville and Place Moulay el Hassan, this historic riad sits amid souks and seaside charm.

Housed in a restored 19th‑century palace, life here centers on a tiled central courtyard with fireplace, fountains and cosy Moroccan lounges, plus a panoramic terrace over the medina. The riad has 54 guestrooms with TVs, phones, safes, desks, private bathrooms (tubs or showers), bathrobes and complimentary Wi‑Fi.

Spa treatments, massages, facials, a sauna and a steam room set the tone for relaxation (spa services may carry extra charges). On‑site highlights include a restaurant, bar, café, 24‑hour reception, concierge and tour desk, laundry, mini‑golf, library and a rooftop terrace—wake up to sea‑breeze mornings just steps from the sand.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. The riad also offers a 24‑hour front desk, multilingual staff, laundry/dry‑cleaning and an airport shuttle for a surcharge.

Dine at La Scala or the coffee shop for traditional Moroccan and international dishes, grab drinks at the bar or use 24‑hour room service. Buffet breakfasts are available daily for a fee.
