Riad Chems Bleu, Traditional Moroccan riad in Essaouira's medina, Morocco.
Riad Chems Bleu is a traditional Moroccan riad in Essaouira's medina featuring a central illuminated courtyard surrounded by archways and a garden with a fountain at its heart. The property contains air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms, positioned near the souks and Bab Marrakech gate in the old quarter.
The riad reflects Andalusian architectural traditions that came to Morocco through historical trade routes and cultural exchanges. These design principles have been maintained in the medina for centuries as the district evolved alongside Essaouira's role as a working port.
The riad serves as a space where visitors experience daily life in Essaouira's medina, with views overlooking the old ramparts that define the quarter. The rooftop terrace functions as a gathering place that connects guests to the rhythm of the historic district.
The riad sits within a network of narrow streets in the medina, so arriving with a clear address or landmark reference is advisable. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended to explore the surrounding quarter and nearby market areas with ease.
Each room takes its name from a distinct color and is decorated with local materials such as tadelakt plaster and colorful cement tiles that give it character. This color-based naming system makes navigation easy and gives each space its own visual identity.
