La Mouette et les Dromadaires
Traditional dining steps from Sid Kaouki Beach
About this stay
La Mouette et les Dromadaires sits further along the coast than the town centre, right by Sid Kaouki Beach rather than Plage d'Essaouira itself, giving it a quieter, more removed feel. Family rooms include sea views, a fireplace and sofa alongside free toiletries, and the restaurant leans into a traditional ambience with Mediterranean and local cuisine served for lunch, dinner and cocktails. A sun terrace, garden and outdoor seating area round out the property's relaxed, beach-adjacent character, and free WiFi keeps guests connected throughout their stay by the water, a detail worth confirming directly with the property before you book your stay, which matters more than it sounds once the wind properly sets in for the day, something first-time visitors rarely expect until they experience it for themselves in person.

Our take
This suits families and couples who want a beach-first stay away from the busier medina and coast-road cluster, with a genuinely traditional restaurant on site. The fireplace is a welcome touch once the evening wind sets in near the water. Guests wanting to be close to Golf de Mogador or the ramparts should note the sixteen-kilometre distance to the airport and plan transport accordingly, since this property prioritises the beach over central access.
- Book a sea-view family room with the fireplace if travelling in cooler months, since evenings by Sid Kaouki Beach turn breezy fast.
- Try the traditional Mediterranean and local cuisine at the restaurant rather than heading into town, since it's a genuine strength here.
- Arrange transport in advance for medina day trips, since this property sits a genuine distance from the ramparts and the centre.

Why guests love itI would recommend La Mouette et les Dromadaires to families who want to stay a few steps from Sid Kaouki Beach. The property has sea-view family rooms, and every unit has a fireplace and a sofa. The restaurant serves Mediterranean and local cuisine in a traditional ambience, and a sun terrace and garden add outdoor space. The airport is sixteen kilometres away, so I would plan the transfer. An 8.8 rating from 101 reviews is encouraging.
