About Riad Ghazal

An unrated coastal riad set in El Ghazoua, a fishing hamlet ten minutes south of Essaouira's ramparts rather than inside the medina itself, Riad Ghazal trades souk noise for open dune and Atlantic wind. Guests reach the walled Medina and Skala harbor by short taxi rather than foot, making this a base for travelers prioritizing quiet over walkability.

Rooms open onto a planted courtyard rather than street-facing windows, and the kitchen draws on Ghazoua's own vegetable plots for tagines rather than imported produce. Argan cooperatives nearby offer a detour few central hotels can arrange as easily.
