Villas with a private pool
A private pool is the defining feature of most villas here. Chez Ali Villa offers a 6-minute walk to Cheval Essaouira, while Villa Massalia, Villa Clavel, and Chez Didier Et Bernadette all have their own pools and are set up for self-catering. Villa Berberine goes a step further with a heated pool, and Domaine Des Mimosas pairs its pool with direct beach access. The choice is between a villa close to the action versus one with more land and privacy.
Beachfront villas in Essaouira
For direct beach access, Domaine Des Mimosas is the standout — a 4-bedroom villa with a private pool and a 9.8 guest rating. Villa Berberine also offers beach access alongside its heated pool and terrace. If being near the beach is more important than being on it, Chez Didier Et Bernadette is about a 5-minute drive from the coast, while Villa Allun Essaouira is a 5-minute walk from the Medina.
Villas near the Medina in Essaouira
Staying in a villa close to the Medina means you can walk to the souks, the ramparts, and Place Moulay Hassan.

Riad Les Trois Marins is a 7-minute walk from Bab Sba and offers on-site parking.

Frequently asked
Which area of Essaouira is best for a villa stay?
It depends on your priority. For walkable access to the souks and restaurants, choose a villa near the Medina like Villa Allun or the Bab Marrakech villa. For privacy and space with a pool and beach access, look outside the walls at Domaine Des Mimosas or Villa Berberine.
How much does a villa in Essaouira cost per night?
Prices vary significantly. The most budget-friendly is Chez Ali Villa at 688 MAD per night, while Chez Didier Et Bernadette is the top end at 8927 MAD. Mid-range options like Villa Massalia start around 1999 MAD and Villa Berberine from 4659 MAD.
Which villas have both a pool and good access to the beach?
Domaine Des Mimosas offers both a private pool and direct beach access, rated 9.8. Villa Berberine also has a heated pool and beach access, with a perfect 10 rating. Chez Didier Et Bernadette has a pool but is about a 5-minute drive from the coast.
Villas in Essaouira
Essaouira's villa scene splits between two very different worlds. Inside the ramparts, houses like Villa Allun Essaouira sit a 5-minute stroll from the Medina, putting you in the middle of the souks and Place Moulay Hassan. Step outside the walls and you find the private retreats — Domaine Des Mimosas with its beach access, or Chez Didier Et Bernadette a short drive from the coast, where the point is the pool, the sauna, and your own space.
What the money buys here ranges from the budget-friendly Chez Ali Villa at 688 MAD per night with its garden and BBQ, up to Chez Didier Et Bernadette at 8927 MAD for an eight-bedroom house with a private pool and sauna. The sweet spot sits in the middle — Villa Berberine at 4659 MAD with a heated pool and a perfect 10 rating, or Domaine Des Mimosas at 6639 MAD with a 9.8 rating and direct beach access. One page note: alongside these villas you may also see other property types, so check each listing's details.
The rest of this set is made up of 9 villas. One is a riad — Riad Les Trois Marins — which brings traditional architecture with a solarium and city-view terrace, though it is also a self-contained house. The remainder are purpose-built villas, most with their own pool and garden.
The bottom line
Villas in Essaouira suit travellers who want their own space, a private pool, and the freedom to self-cater, whether that is a short walk from the Medina or on the beachfront. They are a great fit for families or groups who need multiple bedrooms and their own outdoor area. If you would rather have someone else cook and prefer a more traditional stay, look at the Riads in Essaouira page.
