Palais Des Remparts

Beside Essaouira's medina ramparts on Rue Ibnou Rochd, Palais Des Remparts occupies a restored riad two minutes from the Skala fortifications and the fishing port's daily catch stalls. Rooms open onto a courtyard rather than the street, softening the traffic noise typical of the old town's narrow lanes.

A rooftop terrace faces the Atlantic and the fortress walls at once, useful for watching the wind-surfers who work the bay each afternoon. The souks and Place Moulay Hassan sit within a five-minute walk, making this a practical base for travellers exploring on foot rather than by car.
