Riad Souira is a beautiful riad situated just within the Essaouira city walls in a quiet residential area of the Medina, or old city. The house overlooks not only the medina but also the esplanade and beach and, beyond, both the fishing port and the old island prison of Mogador. This luminous riad has considerable style and period charm.
Uniquely for a riad in the medina, it not only abuts the city walls and has uninterrupted views to the beach and the bay, but it also has a garden with its own mature palm trees and a sizeable plunge pool which is fed from the riad's own private well. The villa has been renovated to retain as many of its original features as possible and it is decorated throughout with a mix of fabrics and antique furniture and artefacts sourced not only from the souks and markets of Morocco but also from the wider Islamic world.
