About this property

The ideal location of the riad L'Ayel will allow you to enjoy moments of calm and relaxation while being in the heart of the medina. The huge beach of Essaouira, meanwhile, promises beautiful walks and nautical pleasures just 5 minutes walk from the riad. The breakfast will pleasantly awaken your taste buds.

Upon reservation, you can also treat yourself to our Moroccan specialties served for lunch or dinner. We can ensure your transfers between the riad and the airports of Essaouira or Marrakech and also meet your needs in terms of organizing cultural, sports or tourist activities.
