Riad Dar Maya

Top choice in Essaouira


Sleek and sophisticated, this riad-turned-boutique hotel is decorated with a mix of modern Moroccan crafts and souq finds. The five, neutral-toned rooms are spread over three floors; some come with private balconies and all have smooth tadelakt (waterproof-plaster) walls, deep tubs, underfloor heating and log fires. The rooftop terrace has a hot tub; there’s even a small hammam.
