Our story
A haven of peace, tranquility, and restoration.
Rediscovery of Heritage
Nestled in the heart of the labyrinthine alleys of Essaouira’s historic medina lies a hidden gem.
Les Terrasses d’Essaouira.
Our story begins with a vision to create a sanctuary where guests could experience the very essence of Moroccan hospitality amidst the enchanting setting of this coastal town.
Originally an old Gnaoua house, our riad was lovingly restored in the 1990s by Valérie, preserving its rich heritage while incorporating modern comforts and amenities. Every corner of our riad tells a story, from the vibrant colors of Moroccan architecture to the tapestries adorning the walls.
Passion for Hospitality
Under the guidance of our passionate owners, Morgan & Valérie, and their dedicated team, Les Terrasses d’Essaouira has become a beacon of tranquility and warmth in the heart of Essaouira. Our commitment to providing exceptional service and creating unforgettable experiences for our guests is at the core of everything we do.
As you step through our grand wrought-iron gate, you will be transported to a world where time seems to stand still—a world where every moment is infused with the magic of Essaouira. Whether you are savoring a traditional Moroccan meal on our terrace or in the lounges, enjoying a relaxing or Ayurvedic massage in our private room, or simply unwinding in the comfort of your room, we invite you to feel at home and immerse yourself in the beauty and charm of Les Terrasses d’Essaouira.
