In the heart of Essaouira's medina, the 10 individually-decorated rooms of the Riad Watier are set within a beautifully-restored schoolhouse.
Behind the traditional entrance, Riad Watier is built on four levels, rising to two roof terraces opening to the ocean. Inside, a hamman offers traditional massages and an excellent library holds over 2,000 volumes.
The Riad has been renovated throughout in keeping with Moroccan tradition, allowing artisans to use authentic techniques to create a uniquely charming living space.
There are many spaces for relaxation within the passageways of the interior patio, which leads to a small garden.
The staff here are attentive and efficient.
