Riad Tamayourt Ocean View, Guesthouse in the coastal city of Essaouira, Morocco.
This traditional Moroccan guesthouse features seven ground-floor rooms with ocean views and access to a 300-square-meter flowered patio overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
Built in the 19th century as a traditional riad, this historic property was later transformed into a villa by artist Moustapha Boumazzour while preserving its original architecture.
Integrated into Essaouira's local artistic scene, this former residence represents the fusion between ancient Moroccan architectural heritage and contemporary artistic expressions from the region.
Located approximately 7 kilometers from Essaouira, accessible by taxi for about 5 euros, the property sits just 15 minutes walking distance from the local golf course.
This guesthouse houses a sculpture by artist Moustapha Boumazzour at the center of its four traditional gardens, creating an exceptional artistic environment facing the sea.

Riads are traditional Moroccan houses built around an interior courtyard or garden. In Essaouira, these accommodations are mainly located within the medina, the old town enclosed by 18th-century ramparts. The buildings often date from different periods and have been converted into guesthouses while preserving their original architecture with carved wooden doors, zellige tilework, and stone walls. The selection ranges from simple riads with a few rooms to larger properties with rooftop terraces offering views of the Atlantic Ocean or the medina. Some riads feature hammams, pools, or wellness facilities. The medina location provides direct access to the port, souks, and city walls. Many riads are situated in the narrow streets between Place Moulay Hassan and the ramparts, near the Skala de la Ville, or in the Mellah Jewish quarter.
