About this property

As soon as you enter the white studded door of our Essaouira riad, you’ll feel right at home. Our cosy relaxing refuge in Morocco with its 200-year old walls has three boutique suites, making it the perfect gem for a romantic escape, a family holiday or time away with a group of friends.

Dar Lazuli’s location on the Western coast of Morocco is second to none, tucked away in a quiet but central corner of Essaouira’s ancient medina and minutes from restaurants, bustling souks and long sandy beach with world class conditions for surfing, kitesurfing and windsurfing.

Our Dar is home to three boutique suites in Essaouira: Alizee, Calima and Ghibli. These rooms can be booked individually or as a whole, sleeping a group of six to eight with exclusive use of the whole property. Cots and extra beds are also available upon request, so whether you’re a family, couple or group of friends, we can accommodate you!

Breakfast which is served in the ground floor dining room
A super king sized bed (2m x 2m)
A bathroom with shower
A fully equipped kitchen

Lovely place to stay in essaouira.

This riad in Essaouira was well located, beautiful and comfortable. Rachid and Latifa were kind and helpful. We loved the in-home cooking class that was offered with Hayat as well. Parking for rental car near the riad was easy and economical.

Superbe!

Magnifique Riad, parfait pour notre famille! Nous occupions tout le Riad (les 3 appartements). Magnifiquement décoré, parfaitement situé à l'entrée de la medina en venant de la plage ou du port. Nombreuses terrasses pour convenir à chaque heure de la journée, literie super confortable, tout est aménagé avec goût. Le petit déjeuner servi chaque matin était délicieux! Un endroit à recommander sans hésiter!

Great Little Riad

My husband and I stayed 8 nights in this lovely rustic riad. It was a perfect location for exploring Essaouira, spotlessly clean and charming. Our suite was one of 3. The kitchen was very well equipped for simple meals, the shower had good pressure and lots of hot water and the bed was very comfortable with nice linens. Latifa delivered a delicious Moroccan breakfast each day with fresh orange juice and the best Moroccan Mint tea of our entire stay. Rachid checked regularly to make sure we had everything we needed and were comfortable. He arranged for the Guardian of the riad to help us with our bags on the day of our departure. Communication was excellent with the owners of the riad and we would definitely stay here again when visiting Morocco. Essaouira is a lovely town with a great Medina and beach promenade and Dar Lazuli is a perfect place to stay.
