The Riad

Where the Medina Breathes

Dar Amastan is a meticulously restored 19th-century riad nestled in the heart of Essaouira's medina. Its rooms and suites rise across three floors around a courtyard — a world apart from the Atlantic winds outside. Every detail honors Moroccan craft: hand-carved cedar, zellige by local artisans, tadelakt plaster warmed by brass light.

The City

Essaouira: Wind, Art & Ocean

Essaouira — once called Mogador — is Morocco's most soulful coastal city. A UNESCO-listed medina, a legendary wind for kitesurfers, a thriving arts scene, and a port that still smells of salt and cedar. It is the perfect counterpoint to Marrakech's heat and intensity.
