    We loved Aghata Palms - what a beautiful Riad! We stayed four nights in the second floor apartment and there’s plenty of space to spread out and relax. It’s light and airy and in a good location, down a couple of side streets off one of the main...

    Everything. We absolutely loved the apartment, which was comfortable and attractive. and tucked away while still being close to everything. How lovely to have so much space to enjoy after over a week of staying in riads and hotels. The hosts and...

Host review score
Great LOCATION directly behind the city walls in the old Medina, lovely garden with a pool. Stunning OCEAN VIEW. Excellent orientation. Typical Moroccan riad - open space and a lot of common areas - the ground floor, the garden and the pool. The riad was reconstructed in 2008 by an English couple who fell in love with Essaouira a long time ago. The reconstruction was made with great respect to the riad history and in TYPICAL ARABIC STYLE with a sense for detail. 3 floors, 2 apartments (one is on 1st floor and one on 2nd floor), the rooftop.
Essaouira is the Wind Capital of Morocco, the wind can be gusting all time year round because of its geographical conditions. It is a fantastic place to go KITE FLYING and KITESURFING. Every day of the year is a perfect weather day to go surfing on the beaches of Essaouira city, however, the high season runs from April to the end of September. The HARBOUR – morning or evening, when the sea-blue boats come in and the fishermen auction off their catch. The 15th century Portuguese PORT. Moulay Hassan SQUARE near Bab Skala– evening, especially the sunset is magic and you can take great snaps Bab Skala, Skala du Port and CITY WALLS – any time. The place appeared as Astapor in Game of Thrones too. FISH SOUQ - join the locals at this small market. For a cheap lunch, buy half a dozen sardines, and for around Dh10 one of the neighbouring cafes will grill them for you and serve them up with bread and a simple salad. You can get delicious and cheap STREET FOOD anywhere in the Medina. Just order, find the staircase up and there is usually an area where you can eat. The cheapest tajin and soup you can find at famous Mr Ouazzani.
