Overview

Essaouira Hostel is perhaps more worthy of the title 'Boutique Hostel'; for this is more than your average backpackers spot and no more expensive! It is designed around a beautiful central garden where you can sit by the fire with a drink at the in house bar ; Put on a dvd, some music, read one of the many books on the shelf and chill out with the other guests

Essaouira Hostel will make you feel instantly relaxed and at home; the rooms are beautifully designed with attention to detail: beds are comfortable and clean and you will be immediately impressed with the decor... the shared bathrooms are designed in Moroccan hammam style, with huge hand made showers and baths, finished in tadelakt; your average hostel this is not!

There is also another lounge area on the terrace and high terrace; complete with sun beds for soaking up the Essaouira rays. It is an ideal spot for a long afternoon lunch around the huge table with kitchen facilities or an evening bbq while watching the sun go down over the rooftops. The view from the high terrace is magnificent and reaches far over the town.

You can also enjoy the services available; bbq 's can be organised for you and your friends, delicious food made to order for you or even a party, surf trips, kite surf lessons, shopping trips, quad hire, fishing trips, horse and camel riding; you name it, we will help you do it!

Essaouira Hostel is a laid back place to chill out and meet friends in a beautiful building located in the heart of Essaouira's Medina; there are no silly rules or curfews. It is much more like staying in a friends house. The owner and manager are local surf legends who are always ready to have a good time
