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.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Outstanding service and staff — Guests repeatedly praise the welcoming and attentive hosts, with one mention of excellent service from a staff member named Zineb.
  • Fresh breakfast with a view — Breakfasts are made from fresh ingredients, including homemade yogurt and pressed orange juice, served on the rooftop terrace overlooking the ocean.
  • Central yet quiet location — A 7-minute walk from Bab Doukkala and steps from the medina's alleys and souk, yet guests describe it as extremely quiet.
  • Wellness facilities — The riad features a spa and wellness centre with a Turkish bath, steam room, and a range of massages and treatments.

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.

Very central location adjacent to the alleys of the medina, next to the souk, and the Riad Perle d'Eau, it was in a fairly nice area. There was Fish 'n Mokha nearby, offering quick meals.”
