"A chic, contemporary-styled addition to the Essaouira boutique hotel scene, extremely popular all round, with a great restaurant, Cinq."

Madada Mogador by Joanna Monkhouse


One of Essaouira’s most recent openings, Madada Mogador, has filled the niche of super-chic design hotel that has been missing from Morroco. With an ideal location on the edge of the medina, the sweeping sea view makes the wide roof terrace a perfect place to enjoy relaxed breakfasts, lazy afternoons or a romantic drink while watching the sunset on large, square, rattan chairs. The view from the terrace provides an activity all on its own.

The facilities

Dining is taken care of at Cinq, the stylish ground floor restaurant, serving Moroccan/French fusion with a modern twist, against a backdrop of jazzy lounge music.

Madada Mogador also offers cooking workshops for up to eight people a day. In two hours, guests learn how to cook traditional tajines and get to taste each others' creations at the end of the session. Great fun.

The rooms

At the Madada Mogador design hotel, the 6 rooms are sandy coloured, with flashes of soft pinks and purples, square shapes, oversized bed heads and baths to provide an ultra-contemporary look. Each has a large, firm double bed and a very high ceiling. The rooms “Madada” and “Mogador” have small private terraces overlooking the beach, though all rooms have access to the superior veranda on the roof. “Mogador”, the suite, has a mezzanine salon which can be used for a second sleeping area. As some of the rooms at this luxury design hotel combine a bathroom with a bedroom and all beds are double, this design hotel is best suited to couples.

Press Quotes

"Tucked away up an unassuming stairway, the Madada feels immensely hip." Conde Nast Traveller 06

"Perfect - small, friendly and terribly tasteful. The other guests were young glamorous Londoners...Breakfast on the terrace, overlooking the sea, was the best of the entire holiday - freshly squeezed juice, vanilla yogurt, pancakes and proper coffee" The Guardian 07
