Villa Maroc

Add to wishlist Contact us

This charming and traditional hotel is made up of four 18th century riads and has a light and airy style mixed with the odd ornate mirror and antique piece of furniture thrown in to give it the perfect mix of elegance and beachside feel.

Why we like Villa Maroc

Villa Maroc is an enchanting riad with great attention spent on the design of its interiors. The staff create an intimate and homely atmosphere and the owners are always available to assist with guests requirements.

Facilities

One of the first riads in Essaouira, Villa Maroc has grown both in size and reputation to boast 21 rooms, spread over four riads. The rooms are surprisingly quiet despite the neighbouring main square. There is a large roof terrace with fantastic views towards the sea where breakfast is served daily, an atmospheric bar area and a restaurant serving wholesome home cooked food.

Dinner at Villa Maroc is a treat worth indulging in. The candlelit rooms, white table cloths and stunning decor make this an elegant affair. Additional facilities include a spa and hammam with a massage area.

Activities

  • Take a hammam session at SPA Villa Maroc
  • Learn some Moroccan recipes with a cooking workshop
  • Take a day hike organised from Villa Maroc

Ideally suited for
