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.
