Across Essaouira, you’ll find 3-star and 5-star hotels with pools, plus a handful of guest houses and riads. The beachfront resorts – Hotel Le Golf D'Essaouira & Spa and Baberrih Hotel – have large pools and direct beach access, starting around 921 MAD and 1981 MAD respectively. For a more intimate experience, riads like Heure Bleue Palais and Riad Titima offer pools within traditional settings. Prices vary widely, from 577 MAD at Al Jasira to 2678 MAD at the top end, so there’s a pool stay for most budgets.
Al Jasira is the most affordable option on this page, with rooms from 577 MAD. It's a small, friendly hotel with a pool and garden, about a 20-minute walk from the old medina.
Hotel Le Golf D'Essaouira & Spa and Miramar Hotel are beachfront, while Baberrih Hotel offers beach access with heated pools. These are ideal if you want to combine swimming in the pool and the Atlantic.
Heure Bleue Palais is located just a short walk from the medina and city walls, making it one of the most central options with a rooftop pool. Other riads like Riad Baoussala are a short drive from the centre.
Riad Titima has the highest guest rating on this page, at 9.2, with rooms from 1348 MAD. It's praised for its peaceful garden setting, pool, and friendly service.
The peak season is summer (June-August), when the weather is warmest. For lower rates and fewer crowds, consider visiting in the shoulder months of April-May or September-October, when the sea breeze is still pleasant and pool time is comfortable.
Essaouira’s pool hotels cluster around the medina and the Atlantic coastline. In the old city, you’ll find intimate riads with rooftop or courtyard pools tucked behind ancient walls, like Heure Bleue Palais just a short walk from the ramparts. A few kilometres out, beachfront resorts such as Baberrih and Hotel Le Golf D'Essaouira offer larger pools, spa facilities, and direct access to the sand. The setting is relaxed and windswept, so a pool is often the centrepiece of a stay – a calm spot to retreat from the sea breeze.
Prices here range from about 577 MAD for a simple room at Al Jasira to 2678 MAD for the palatial Heure Bleue. The mid-range sweet spot sits around 1023 MAD, where you’ll find comfortable 3-star stays like Essaouira Lodge and Miramar. Note that this page also includes a few guest houses and bed & breakfasts – Douar Noujoum and Les Jardins De Villa Maroc – which offer pools in more intimate settings. Whether you’re after a beachfront resort with family-friendly amenities or a peaceful riad with a plunge pool, Essaouira’s mix covers both.
This collection of pool hotels is ideal for travellers who want to balance Essaouira’s historic charm with the comfort of a swimming pool – whether that’s a rooftop dip in the medina, a garden plunge pool, or a beachfront resort. If you’re looking specifically for beachfront access and don’t need a pool, consider the beach hotels page. For a stay right inside the old town, the riads page will give you more central options, and if you’re on a strict budget, the cheap and budget hotels page might serve you better. Families may want to explore the family-friendly page, while spa lovers can find more extensive wellness facilities on the spa hotels page.
