About
Riad Maison Du Sud
Riad Maison Du Sud sits on Avenue Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah, a short walk from the ancient medina and the lively markets of Essaouira. The 17-room riad blends traditional Moroccan craftsmanship with practical comforts — think carved wood, tiled bathrooms and a peaceful roof terrace. It's a 17-minute walk from Palma Quad, and the beach is close enough to reach on foot.
The riad's public areas include a restaurant, a bar and a spa corner with a Turkish bath and steam room. Guests can arrange car hire, laundry and tours at the 24-hour reception, and the staff are known for going out of their way to help — from booking reservations to organising a surprise birthday cake on the terrace. Breakfast is served in the dining room, with in-room breakfast also available.
