This hotel is located at the far end of the Medina, in the Sandillon district, which is named after the builder of Essaouira's first windmill. Restaurants and shopping venues are in the hotel's close proximity, and the beach is a mere 15-minute walk from the hotel. This establishment basks in the ambiance of the Berber culture and features beautiful carpets throughout the rooms of the hotel, as well as splendid views of the sea and the Medina. The rooms come with traditional, calm and comfortable décor. Sun loungers are available for use and guests can work on their suntans on the sun terrace. Alternatively, they can enjoy relaxing spa and massage treatments. Fans of the fairway can head to the nearest golf course, which is 7 km from the establishment.

“Great Staff”
Great location. The Riad was very traditional and our room had great views, a little tired maybe but that is reflected in the price. We didn’t eat an evening meal here as we enjoy a glass of wine with dinner however the breakfast was very nice and plentiful. All the staff were so helpful and rooms were very clean and beds were very comfortable.

“Oceanfront Charm at Riad Mimouna”
Riad Mimouna is a beautiful hotel perched right on the Atlantic shoreline, just steps from the shops and winding streets of Essaouira. The breakfast was exceptional, and the early‑morning ocean views were absolutely stunning. Our room and bathroom were excellent—comfortable, well‑appointed, and easy to temperature‑control. The riad’s central atrium, rising three floors, is ornate and breathtaking. It was quite windy during our stay, and the door rattled a bit, but never enough to disturb our sleep. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and genuinely fun to be around. We even caught part of a soccer match with one of them, and Mr. Karriem kept us laughing with his jokes about checkout time and his enthusiastic Hammam recommendation.

“Surreal and breathtaking hotel”
My wife and I absolutely loved this riad/hotel!! The hospitality and service is remarkable. All of the workers are so friendly and accommodating. The breakfast and dinner is delicious. Lastly, the ocean view from our hotel room was surreal and like a dream. We loved falling asleep to the ocean waves at night. The hotel has so much charm and is one of my all time favorite hotels and that’s coming from a world traveler who has been to a lot of hotels. My wife and I even went to the Atlas Mountains after our stay at the hotel and ended up immediately coming back to this hotel during the same trip since we missed it so much. I rarely write hotel reviews but this one certainly deserved it! We can’t wait to come back again soon.

“In Medina on Edge of the Ocean”
We were very happy to have stayed at Riad Mimouna during our stay in Essaouria! The room was spacious and very comfortable, but the greatest thing about it was our spectacular view right over the Atlantic (see pictures)! The views from the top floor breakfast and lounge are also amazing. Service was great. Location for us was perfect - within the old town but at the edge of it, making everything accessible yet uncrowded at night and quiet (although than the sound of the waves, which we enjoyed). The breakfast was good, but not as luxe as the rest of the experience, so that could be improved just a bit. Overall all though, a fantastic experience that we would highly recommend.
