The Ryad Watier experience: a peaceful night's sleep in an oasis of calm, waking up on a sunny morning, taking breakfast on the terrace overlooking the Medina of Essaouira and setting yourself up for a pleasant day enjoying this beautiful seaside town.

In short, a stay at he the Ryad Watier is an exercise in “slow living”, a place to relax and enjoy Zen like peace. Like this lovely riad itself says “here slow living is not a fashion or a concept but rather an authentic “art de vivre”. And that's exactly right. Just peace.

Architecturally, of course, the Watier follows Moroccan traditions. In this particular case, it includes four floors that take you up to two sea-view terraces. The upper floors are traditionally reserved for communal life (a large dining room and lounge with a fireplace, the garden, a 2000 volume library and the kitchen), the rooms are laid out around the passageways of the inside courtyard. These same passageways also lead to the hamman, the massage room, the garden, the fountain and, of course, the sea-view terraces.

A further interesting distinction of the Riad Watier is that the windows look to the outside of the house and the doors onto the passageway of the inside courtyard are solid. The spacious suites of the riad are thus laid out to preserve perfect intimacy and to take full advantage of the comfort offered by the layout, the traditional furnishings and the decoration.

The suites and master suites are very well equipped (lounge, desk, large cupboards, dressing table, etc.). Toilets are always separate, bedding is of the highest quality and double beds are all king size.

All the suites and master suites of the riad are fitted with individual radiators and old-fashioned hot water bottles for those cooler winter months.

The “arte de vivre” is still alive and well at the Ryad Watier.

A stroll through Essaouira and its medina

Slip through the large traditional door of the Ryad Watier, and you plunge into the heart of the Essaouira medina. Welcome to Morocco! The unspoiled town opens at your feet and delights your senses: smell, taste, listen and discover the lives and the smiling faces of the townspeople as you stroll through the narrow streets. The whole town is within reach:

The harbour
At your feet, you see flashes of bright colours; these are the sardine boats, palangriers and trawlers. You can hear the muffled shouts of fisherman throwing their nets and unloading crates of silver fish. The fragrance of grilled sardines tickles your nose. You’ll never get bored watching the fishing port of Essaouira.

The market
You’ll feel like you’ve been transported to another time when you first discover the busiest market of Essaouira. Old women come to sell wool and exchange all sorts of objects, such as jewellery, shawls and crockery.

Arts and crafts Essaouira is an important centre for marquetry in Morocco. A number of craftsmen sculpture wood from the roots of the thuya tree to make boxes, dishes, decorative objects and furniture. You can also find jewellery, rugs, leather goods, babouches (slippers), pottery and traditional decorative objects.

The beach
Whether day-dreaming in the sun on the long beach of golden sand in Essaouira, swimming in the bay sheltered by islands, surfing in the rolling waves of the Atlantic Ocean or wind-surfing at Sidi Kaouki, the coast around Essaouira offers a multitude of opportunities for fun all year round. The weather is always fine, with over 3,200 hours of sun and less than 300mm of rain per year.
