TravPa

Where to stay in Essaouira

A medina base suits walking; the beachfront suits direct road access. Sea-facing rooms can be windy, so check shelter as carefully as the view.

We send you to one trusted partner with your dates filled in. TravPa earns a commission when you book through a partner; your price stays the same.

The best areas

Southern medina

Stay near Moulay Hassan square for the harbor and evening meals. Busy public spaces can bring noise, and taxis may stop outside the walls.

Hotels in Southern medina

Northern medina

Good for market walks around Bab Doukkala. The port and southern beach are farther away, so check your route home after dinner.

Beachfront outside the walls

Easier vehicle access and long beach walks. The farther south you stay, the longer the walk back to the medina; exposed terraces can be windy.

Where to stay for each itinerary

Essaouira in 2 days

Stay in the southern medina for walking or just outside the walls for vehicle access. Arrive before the first morning; Sidi Kaouki needs arranged return transport.
