Riad Lalla Zina  

In Essaouira's historic Medina, this tall riad perches steps from the Mohammed Ben Abdallah Museum, Skala de la Ville and Essaouira Beach. A true medina riad with quick access to the port, Place Moulay el Hassan and the town's main sights.

Completely renovated recently, the riad has nine guestrooms spread over three floors and a tenth room on the terrace. Rooms have private showers, blackout curtains and daily housekeeping.

The house can host groups up to 22 and often holds traditional-orchestra birthday celebrations.

Take in terrace views and stay connected with complimentary Wi‑Fi. On-site perks include a snack bar/deli, bar and restaurant, a shared kitchen, massage room, solarium, steam bath, yoga area and parking. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and relax on sun-warmed terraces.
