Riad Watier

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.

Highlights

  • Roof terraces overlooking the sea.
  • Traditional hammam (steam bath).
  • Excellent and friendly hosting by owner and staff.

Viewpoints

Riad Watier was the best of all the accommodation - partly because of the well-lit, beautifully-furnished rooms, but also the owner there, Jean, and his staff. We'd go back.
