There is also another lounge area on the terrace and high terrace; complete with sun beds for soaking up the Essaouira rays. It is an ideal spot for a long afternoon lunch around the huge table with kitchen facilities or an evening bbq while watching the sun go down over the rooftops. The view from the high terrace is magnificent and reaches far over the town.

You can also enjoy the services available; bbqs can be organized for you and your friends, delicious food made to order for you or even a party, surf trips, kite surf lessons, shopping trips, quad hire, fishing trips, horse and camel riding; you name it, we will help you do it!

Essaouira Hostel is a laid back place to chill out and meet friends in a beautiful building located in the heart of Essaouira's Medina; there are no silly rules or curfews. It is much more like staying in a friend’s house. The owner and manager are local surf legends who are always ready to have a good time! This is a place to kick back and feel at home; it has a young vibe and whatever the majority of guests are up for, from watching DVDs, cooking up a BBQ to partying through the night; this is what goes on!

If you are up for a good time and are a chilled out individual; this place is for you. However, if you are looking for a very quiet 'early night' type place; then this perhaps is not your bag! Because of the young atmosphere, we do not accept families with young children.
