"Mohamed est un excellent hôte !
Toute l’équipe est bienveillante et très chaleureux.
Le petit déjeuner est copieux et la terrasse est à couper le souffle.
Je recommande fortement ce très joli Riad pour une halte ou un séjour plus long.
Shokran Mohammed !"
"Stunning Riad, with a more modern feel. We had a very warm welcome, with a full introduction to Essaoira. Beautiful rooms and breakfast in the roof where you can see the sea.
It’s situated just off a Main Street and feels very safe and the breakfast was amazing. Couldn’t recommend this enough, we only stayed 2 night but I could easily have stayed a week!"
"A great location inside the Medina with morrocan hospitality. From the moment we walked in, the staff was extremely courteous and helpful! The seaside view rooms are definitely worth booking. The upstairs terrace where meals were served had excellent ambiance and views as well!"
"Clean room,Exceptionnel service, breakfast was fantastic(everything you need), couples , singles or families you will not regret your stay.
Thanks and please keep it up👍"
"Staff are courteous. The shower area needs a little tidy up but overall clean. Breads and jams for breakfast. The Riad does not show correctly on google maps so hard to find."
"Lovely Riad in the centre of the Medina. Would stay here again, clean, comfortable, convenient and lovely helpful team. Beautifully and thoughtfully renovated space."
"I recently had the pleasure of staying at Riad Mumtaz Mahal in Essaouira from June 4th to June 7th, 2026. The experience was fantastic, and the Riad provided the perfect home base for exploring the city. I cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone visiting Essaouira."

A beautiful and impeccably kept Riad in an excellent location in Essaouera. Fatiha and the staff were so helpful. Breakfast on the rooftop was amazing every morning.
The Riad was beautiful. Very luxurious. The staff was top notch. Met the owner. Very upscale. Loved my room. It was like a Four Seasons. Loved the basket of Moroccan shoes to wear during the stay. The rooftop was beautiful and had everything to make it comfortable. I had dinner at Riad one evening. The very best monkfish. This Riad was a highlight of my stay in Morocco. Thank you so much.
My wife and I absolutely loved this riad/hotel!! The hospitality and service is remarkable. All of the workers are so friendly and accommodating. The breakfast and dinner is delicious. Lastly, the ocean view from our hotel room was surreal and like a dream. We loved falling asleep to the ocean waves at night. The hotel has so much charm and is one of my all time favorite hotels and that’s coming from a world traveler who has been to a lot of hotels. My wife and I even went to the Atlas Mountains...
Staff are amazing. Friendly and very accomodating. Lovely breakfast each morning served with a big Moroccan smile. A beautiful place to stay. Would definitely return.
I had been staying at a different riad in Essauoira but decided to switch to Dar al Bahar and I am so glad I did. It is a lovely riad located on a cliff above the ocean. Some rooms have ocean views, mine did not but I would leave my windows open so that I could smell and hear the ocean. It has a spectacular roof off terrace where a lovey breakfast is served. The staff is very nice and helpful. It is located on the northern side of the medina which I preferred. There are a number of good...
Smack in the middle of all the action/medina, walking distance to everything, I found it to be a beautiful, quiet, comfortable and very safe place to stay. The service was great, even offering breakfast when it was very much past the time, just because I came in late the night before and I slept in...they wanted to make sure I was well taken care of. I will definitely stay here again, the place is a gem!
Location is excellent, near everything you need, beach, restaurants …. The place is like new with all recent taste-full renovation. Juliette and Bat the receptionists were very kind and informative. We definitely will stay in here next time we are in Essaouria
Villa Quieta in Essaouira was definitely one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever stayed. When you enter you are greeted with Moroccan beauty from all angles. The staff was also top notch, going above and beyond for our satisfaction. We didn't even arrive there until about 4 am, and there was someone up waiting for us so that we could get right in and get to bed upon arrival. Breakfast is delicious and served in their gorgeous dining area. The grounds are lovely with a beautiful in-ground pool...
The breakfast was fresh and delicious overlooking the ocean on the 4th floor. The hotel is really clean and less than 1 year old. The room was spacious and felt more like an apartment. Only downside is it's about a 1.5 mile walk to the medina/souq but it's only a few minute walk to the beach. It's such a beautiful and relaxing place. I would stay here again when i come back to Essaouira.
The location was great. It was easy to reach and conveniently located. The staff was wonderful, friendly and efficient. They provided an ample breakfast, served wherever we preferred to eat. Unfortunately, the room and especially the shower were smaller than expected, and there was a construction site just outside our window that often worked late into the night. Overall, it was a positive experience.
