Riad Belle Essaouira
A 6-room riad with spa treatments and rooftop views, rated 4.6/5 on TripAdvisor from 80 reviews.
Riad Belle sits at 7 Rue Ceutat, Derb Mokite, in the Essaouira old medina. It's small (six rooms) but positioned a step above basic guesthouse level, with individually decorated rooms and a genuine in-house spa offering facials and body treatments — a differentiator from most budget medina riads.
Honest caveats: some rooms are noted as quite dark with no air conditioning, which matters in Essaouira's warmer months. Getting to the riad involves roughly a 10-minute walk from the nearest taxi drop-off over uneven medina ground with luggage. A few reviewers mentioned difficulty finding staff at night or first thing in the morning.
