Atlas Essaouira & Spa
A large beachfront resort with two pools and direct beach access — the conventional-hotel alternative to Essaouira's boutique riads.
Atlas Essaouira & Spa is the odd one out in Essaouira's boutique-riad landscape: a 156-room, five-star beachfront resort run by Atlas Hospitality Morocco, the country's second-largest hotel operator. Direct beach access, two swimming pools, a fitness centre and a full spa with hammam, sauna and hot tub put it in a completely different category from the medina's small guesthouses.
It suits a different traveller entirely — families or anyone uncomfortable navigating medina alleys with luggage, who'd rather have a conventional resort experience a short drive from the old town. Reviews are more mixed than the boutique riads nearby, which is worth knowing going in, but the breakfast buffet, spa and sea-view rooms are consistently praised.
