There are several accommodation options in Essaouira, with quite a few upmarket hotels. Our favourite is Casa Lila, a riad in the medina that can only be described as 'coastal chic.' The French owners have lovingly refurbished their riad to a high standard, with relaxing and unpretentious rooms meant to provide a romantic and cosy atmosphere. There are 10 en-suite rooms which are laid-out over three floors with plenty of communal areas, including a cosy lounge, a roof terrace and lounging terraces. For those who are in need of pampering, there is a hammam on site. 

Breakfast is included in your stay and is usually enjoyed on the roof terrace, where you can hear the roar of the waves.

Children cannot be accommodated in the standard rooms, but there is a lovely family apartment with two bedrooms, a bathroom and lounge with fireplace.
