Essaouira Guide: Overview, Hotels & Travel Writing

About Essaouira

The old port town of Essaouira is one of the most charming in Morocco thanks to its laid-back hippy vibe, famous music festival and charming boutique hotels. Let us be your travel guide to this legendary blue city with its traditional architecture and distinctive cuisine.

Essaouira is a great place to stop over for a few days, or even a week, after a hectic stint in Marrakech. In recent years there's been a rash of newly opened luxury hotels in Essaouira, and now there's a great selection of places to stay in this bohemian coastal town. Splash out in style at Essaouira institution, Heure Bleue, or choose the more low-key charms of Villa Allun.
