About

Riad Tamayourt Ocean View & Piscine Chauffee A 30

Riad Tamayourt sits on the edge of Essaouira, about 15 minutes by car from the city's historic ramparts. The property is a 4-star riad with a distinctly peaceful feel: rooms open onto gardens and terraces, the sea is visible from several spots, and the heated pool is a year-round draw. It's the kind of place that suits a slower pace, with a free private car park and 24-hour reception making arrival and departure straightforward.

The riad's interiors lean bright and airy, with traditional Moroccan details and soundproofed rooms. The Deluxe Queen Room includes a balcony, garden view, and air conditioning. On-site, you'll find a restaurant, poolside snack bar, and a garden with BBQ facilities. The staff consistently earn high praise, and the breakfast — served in the garden when weather allows — is repeatedly mentioned in reviews.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Staff are the standout — Guests consistently single out the team as kind, welcoming, and helpful — it's the highest-rated category at 9.6.
  • A heated pool with a view — The outdoor pool is heated and overlooked by the property — a rare luxury in the region, and a favorite in reviews.
  • A calm, garden-set location — Set back from the center, the riad is surrounded by gardens and close to the coastline — quiet yet within reach of town.
  • Free and easy parking — A free private car park is on site, which is a practical plus for those driving to Essaouira.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Not right on the beach — Despite the ocean view, the riad is not beachfront — some guests spent Christmas 'far from the beach' and noted it.
  • Breakfast can be hit or miss — While many praise the garden breakfast, one guest found it 'decent but nothing special' — expectations may vary.
  • A drive to the medina — The riad is about 15 minutes by car from Essaouira's ramparts — walkable for some, but not a central location.
  • Price point for the setting — At £216 per night, it's a mid-range price for a property that's outside the city center and not beachfront.
