Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Essaouira?
The best area to stay in Essaouira is within the Medina, the historic walled city, for an authentic and convenient experience.

The Medina is Essaouira's heart, a UNESCO World Heritage site characterised by its narrow, winding alleys, whitewashed buildings with blue accents, and a vibrant arts scene. Its main thoroughfares, like Rue Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah, are lined with artisan workshops, cafes, and guesthouses. The Skala de la Ville, a historic rampart, offers panoramic views of the Atlantic. The entire area is pedestrian-only, making it very walkable.

Couples looking for a romantic and culturally rich getaway will find the Medina ideal. You're just steps away from local souks, art galleries, and charming restaurants. Evenings can be spent strolling along the ramparts or enjoying fresh seafood by the harbour, which is easily accessible from anywhere in the Medina.

For those who prefer modern amenities and direct beach access, the area just outside the Medina walls, particularly along the beachfront promenade, is a good option.

During these months, you'll find warm, sunny days with a refreshing breeze off the Atlantic, making it ideal for exploring the medina and enjoying the beach without the intense heat found inland. The average daytime temperature hovers around 22-26°C (72-79°F), superb for strolling through the souks or dining al fresco.

Couples often find the shoulder seasons of April-May and September-October particularly appealing. The crowds are thinner than in the peak summer months, allowing for a more intimate experience. You can enjoy long walks along the ramparts, explore the art galleries, or simply relax at a café overlooking the harbour without feeling rushed.

Families travelling with children will appreciate the summer months of June, July, and August. The consistent sunshine and gentle winds make for excellent beach days, and the water is warm enough for swimming and watersports.
