About
Riad Perle D'Eau
Riad Perle D'Eau sits on Rue Du Koweit, a 7-minute walk from Bab Doukkala, one of Essaouira's historic gateways. The 4-star property feels quietly removed from the bustle, yet the medina's alleys and souk are right on the doorstep.
The riad's wellness centre includes a Turkish steam bath and steam room, alongside a menu of massages and beauty treatments. Guests consistently highlight the freshly prepared breakfast served on the rooftop terrace, with views over the ocean.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities rating lower than other categories — The Facilities category scores 6.6, notably lower than Service (9.5) and Staff (9.7), suggesting the physical amenities may feel more basic than the level of care.
- Rooms may lack some modern comforts — One guest noted the room was comfortable and spacious but had no phone or TV, so expect a simpler, more traditional setup.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 21:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals without arranging the paid airport shuttle.
- Pets not allowed — The riad does not permit pets, which may restrict travel plans for those with animals.
