“The riad's location in the medina places you steps from Essaouira's pulse, and just a short walk separates you from the Atlantic. I particularly note the blend of Moroccan and Andalusian design, coupled with a terrace that frames the city beautifully. For those drawn to the coast, its access to water sports adds an active dimension to a stay steeped in culture.”
