Vent Des Dunes
Rooftop terrace and garden pool outside the busy medina
About this stay
Vent des Dunes sits apart from both the packed medina riads and the larger coast-road hotels, in a quieter residential area with a garden and a small swimming pool at ground level. Rooms are simply decorated with private bathrooms and their own terrace or balcony, and breakfast is served on the property's large rooftop terrace overlooking the town, with mint tea service continuing there through the afternoon. A spa facility rounds out the relaxation options, and traditional Moroccan cuisine is available on request for guests who want a meal beyond the standard breakfast. Free private parking makes arriving by car straightforward, a genuine advantage over medina properties reached only on foot, a detail that separates this property from most others listed in the same cluster.

Our take
This suits guests who want a calmer, garden-and-rooftop version of an Essaouira stay without either the medina's foot-only access or the scale of a big coast-road hotel. The pool is small but genuinely useful on windy afternoons, and the rooftop routine, breakfast then mint tea, gives the day a real rhythm. Guests wanting to be inside the ramparts themselves should look toward a medina riad instead, since the twenty-minute walk in is a real consideration here.
- Request traditional Moroccan cuisine on the rooftop when booking, since it's available on request rather than served nightly by default.
- Ask for a room with a private terrace rather than just a balcony if outdoor space matters most to your stay.
- Use the free private parking if arriving by car, since it saves navigating the residential streets for street parking.

Why guests love itI would suggest Vent Des Dunes to families who prefer a garden property away from the busiest streets. It sits in a residential pocket of Essaouira, four minutes from the beach and twenty minutes on foot from the medina, with a rooftop terrace, a small pool, spa facilities and private parking. Rooms have private terraces or balconies, and traditional Moroccan cuisine is served on request. An 8.6 rating from over 600 reviews supports the choice.
