Accommodation in Essaouira isn't cheap but there's now a seemingly endless selection of
properties to choose from at all price levels. Most hotels and riads are within the walls of
the medina, so everything you need is within walking distance. In summer book ahead or
at least arrive early in the day to find a room. As the medina gets increasingly crowded,
hotels are being built along the coast further south and on the seafront.
Essaouira has a great selection of apartments and riads to rent, most of them done up in
impeccable style. If you're travelling as a family or in a group, they can be an affordable
and flexible option. Prices start from about Dh600 per night for a two-bed apartment.
