Calm, well-being and serenity are waiting for the visitors of this hotel, bathed in the design of a pure traditional health spa.

But, thanks to its natural vertues, you leave Souira city feeling good, revived by its Atlantic wind!
The Sofitel Essaouira Medina & Spa is situated on the large Essaouiran beach, just a few minutes walk from the old town and the picturesque fishing port. From the splendid terrace the visitor can enjoy a mint tea with traditional local patisseries and admire the fantastic view of the beach.
The location of this hotel offers the visitor the historical background of this city, the opportunity to admire the talents of the craftsmanship (the famous Tadelakt and the coloured mosaics) combined with a hotel whose interior design is bathed in Moroccan tradition and offering the best confort.
