Heure Bleue Palais - Relais & Châteaux, hotel in Essaouira

This luxurious hotel features a terrace with a heated outdoor pool with panoramic views of the Medina and the sea. It is just 1312 feet from the beach, in central Essaouira.

Small enough to feel cozy, big enough to have a great restaurant, a billiards room and a beautiful bar. My room was very comfortable, with a little terrace. Staff was friendly, attentive and competent.

Suite Azur Hotel, hotel in Essaouira

Featuring a shared lounge, a terrace as well as a restaurant, Suite Azur Hotel is located in the center of Essaouira, a 8-minute walk from Plage d'Essaouira.

The breakfast is one of the highlights and a reason why we came back to stay at Suite Azur. The fresh OJ and baked items, along with beautiful fruit and honey and cheese and omelets on request are best enjoyed on the roof top deck overseeing the majestic views of the Atlantic. The room was perfect for us and our son, with incredibly comfortable beds, a sitting area to play cards and cross ventilation for great breezes. Yusuf and Farah and the rest of the staff are always eager to help out, will personally walk you places to be sure you don't get lost in the Medina and make wonderful recommendations for activities and restaurants. We love Essaouira and the Suite Azur is a huge factor in our fabulous experience there.

Breakfast was fine. Similar to other hotel breakfasts. Sort of a Moroccan-continental breakfast with pastries, fruit, omelet station, Moroccan-pancake section, yogurts, breads and jams. It was nice to go down every day for breakfast.

FAQ about pet-friendly hotels in Essaouira







Morocco With a European Twist

Essaouira has developed from a hippie hangout to become a top Morocco beach resort with good surfing conditions. Its 18th-century medina is almost European in feel and narrow streets lead under low arches past fragrant spice stalls and local artisans selling everything from wood carvings to faience pottery.

Dotted around the souk are many traditional-style riads on Booking.com, hidden behind tiled façades and blue doors. Other Essaouira accommodation options include luxury hotels with swimming pools, cheap apartments, and B&Bs near Essaouira Airport.

Also bright blue are the rowing boats bobbing gently in small harbours sheltered by the Scala of the Port, a wide walkway with ramparts through which several historic cannons poke out. At the end is the Citadel, a small fortress overlooking Mogador Island - the largest of the Iles Purpuraires, so-called for the purple shells found in their rocks that were once used to produce dyes for Roman senator togas.

Another fortress – Bordj El Berod – lies in pieces on the long, sandy beach south of the marina. In the opposite direction the coastline is more rocky and lined by the Scala of the Kasbah, the crenellated walls protecting the medina. Horseriding and camel safaris are available on the beach and you can also visit a Berber village inland.

    Essaouira is a relatively small, compact, ancient, traditional Moroccan city. Narrow alleyways and traditional architecture. Cafes, stalls etc. An interesting fishing boat filled harbour with animated action, fish gutting, cooking, selling etc. City walls and fortresses to explore. Friendly non hassling people. Much more relaxing than Marrakech, whilst still having exotic ambiance. Inumerable restaurants serving good food at reasonable prices. You can walk from one side of the city to the other in 15 minutes (if you don't lose yourself in the maze!) This was a former 'hippy' hangout and it is easy to understand why.

    Lovely old medina and fishing port just a short walk along the promenade. If you explore the alleyways away from the shops you will come across workshops where the local products are being handcrafted.

    What a wonderful city!

    What a wonderful city! Beaming with actual local craft and art, lots of cute street cats and beautiful colourful houses with intricately decorated doors, windows and fountains. We fell in love with this small city and would love to go back. Pro Tip if you like cats: buy some vet cat food and walk around the city with it because those creatures will break your heart with their cuteness. I would recommend spending at least two days there. Get lost in the small streets to the sides from the main shopping areas. Visit the fish market, eat fresh oysters or other sea products. The beach was nice and serves as a great refreshment after long walks in Medina. Shopping was great and cheap but I would still recommend learning the actual prices first. For example, we got small tiles for 10dhs but in other places we’re getting prices like 50 or 30. Don’t be afraid to walk away and negotiate a bit. Especially if it is not the master themselves selling but a reseller. You can usually find actual masters on the smaller side streets (especially for wood and fabrics). I also noticed that women have fair prices more often. Food. Amazing street food and fruits! Don’t go to overpriced restaurants on tourist streets, unless they have a “menu” offer which can be worth the price. Otherwise, if you just take a detour from the main hustle, there will be tangine not for 80dhs but for 30. The food is also way cheaper outside of Medina.

    Impressive fort!

    Impressive fort! The Atlantic brings a fresh brise and a lot of problems for the buildings because humidity. It’s impressive to watch the ocean breaks at the city wall and sunset over the blue fisher boats. The Souk is small but fine and not so over crowded like Marrakech but not easy to get good prices because you don’t have many options like in other souks.But it’s a unique place impressive too!

    Good place with a chilled-out vibe.

    Good place with a chilled-out vibe. Great for those who are into surfing or wind sports. Also a cool place for those who like to try local food, shop at markets, or just meander through the narrow streets of a historic and vibrant town. Accommodation is affordable, food is tasty, and the people are friendly. Also lots of activities such as surfing and camel/horse riding. Easy to reach other towns and cities from the bus station.

    There were lots of things I liked about Essaouira.

    There were lots of things I liked about Essaouira. It is a coastal seaport with fresh fish brought in daily, so eating fish/seafood was a real delight. The town itself has many sections of medina/suq where all sorts of shopping opportunities, or just gazing around can be had. I did a cookery course which I enjoyed and found very informative, we learned to make a meat tagine, also a lentil dish, and had a visit to the spice market. I went with another hotel guest to a hammam which was a first for me. I enjoyed it all, thought it was perhaps a bit commercial, and disappointed a day or two later to discover I had acquired headlice. I have heard of this happening to others, so whilst dismayed to be in that state, I recognise that it is fairly common. No I would not go to a hammam again. The hassle of getting lice free outweighed for me the enjoyment. I do ,however, recommend the cookery course.

    The breakfast was great. The staff are extremely helpful and they accommodated my late arrival. The staff also gave me tips on where to buy good, local honey. I was hoping for Moroccan dishes on the dinner menu. The restaurant is known for its seafood. There are seafood and fish tagines that are delicious and could be offered. The room was comfortable and fine for two nights. The location is fantastic if you want something close to the beach. And if you have a car, there are parking spaces in front of the hotel.

    Emma & Giles and their team are lovely, thoughtful people which their hospitality reflects. Giles gave us a lot of useful advice on Essaouira; Emma’s interior decoration skills are worthy of a 5 star hotel and the breakfast provided was extensive and very high quality. The security guard (whose name I didn’t get) helped us fix our broken car.

    Hosts were really super friendly, welcoming and attentive. The hotel is at a great location next to the Medina and not far from the beach and harbour.
