The Ryad Watier is a haven of peace in the heart of the medina of Essaouira. Here, slow living is not a fashion or a concept, but rather an authentic "art de vivre".

The riad has been completely renovated following Moroccan traditions, with creative craftsmen who have used traditional methods that give unique charm to the residence.

In accordance with Moroccan architecture, the riad is laid out on 4 levels that take you up to the two sea-view terraces.

Above the ground floor, which is 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 passageways also lead to the hamman, the massage room, the garden, the fountain and, of course, the sea-view terraces.
