Hotel Sidi Magdoul
Patio rooms and easy beach access for an active stay
About this stay
Hotel Sidi Magdoul offers family rooms with private bathrooms and showers, each with its own patio, a distinctive touch for a hotel-format property rather than a riad. The sun terrace adds shared outdoor space, and private check-in and check-out streamline arrival. A continental breakfast is served daily, and the activity list leans active: walking tours, hiking, cycling, snorkelling and horse riding are all available nearby, tying the hotel into Essaouira's broader outdoor culture. Being just six minutes from Plage d'Essaouira on foot makes the beach an easy daily habit rather than a planned outing, especially once the high season brings more visitors into this stretch of the coast, which is worth factoring into your plans well ahead of the actual travel dates, a detail that separates this property from most others listed in the same cluster.

Our take
This suits families and active travellers who want private outdoor patio space attached to each room, an unusual feature at this scale, plus an easy walk to the beach. The activity range suits guests who want to snorkel, hike or cycle without arranging everything independently. Guests wanting a pool or spa on site should look elsewhere, since this hotel keeps its offering focused on rooms, patios and outdoor activity access instead.
- Use your room's private patio for a quiet breakfast alternative to the shared sun terrace when it's busier than usual.
- Try snorkelling or a walking tour through the hotel's activity list rather than arranging it independently elsewhere in town.
- Walk to Plage d'Essaouira in the morning, since the six-minute distance makes it easy before the afternoon wind builds.
Why we love it
- Private patio in every room
- Six-minute walk to the beach
- Active outdoor activity list
- Continental breakfast daily
Why guests love itI would suggest Hotel Sidi Magdoul to families who want a patio of their own. The two-star family hotel has a patio in every room and a sun terrace, six minutes from Plage d'Essaouira and five kilometres from Golf de Mogador. Activities on offer include walking tours, hiking, cycling and snorkelling, and a continental breakfast is served daily. I would expect simple comforts. A 10 rating from five reviews is a very small sample.
