A Weekend Guide to Essaouira
Where to stay, eat and watch the sunset in Morocco's coastal gem.
Essaouira's laid-back Atlantic charm makes it one of Morocco's most rewarding weekend escapes. Its fortified medina, wide beaches and steady sea breeze offer a welcome contrast to the heat and bustle of Marrakech, just a two-and-a-half-hour drive away.
Start your mornings with fresh seafood at the port, spend afternoons wandering the ramparts and art galleries, and end the day with a sunset drink overlooking the Atlantic. Surfers and kitesurfers flock here for the reliable coastal winds.
For the best experience, stay inside or just outside the medina walls — our coastal listings put you within walking distance of the port, the beach and the best seafood grills in town.
