Frequently asked questions

Essaouira is around 175km from Marrakech, and the journey by road takes around three hours. There are currently no direct flights between Essaouira and Marrakech, so consider a private transfer if you plan to travel. Your Sofitel concierge will be happy to advise.

In and around Essaouira, encounter history in the winding streets of the UNESCO-listed medina and La Sqala de la Kasbah ramparts, and get active with watersports, golf, and horse or camel rides on the beach. Find authentic heritage in Gnawa music, the working fishing port, and visits to argan oil cooperatives or goat cheese farms.

Our Essaouira beach hotel is on the main beach near the town center. Like all Essaouira beaches, the wide, sandy stretch is more about bracing walks than sunbathing. Breezy conditions make it ideal for surfing and kitesurfing. Talk to our concierge about safe swimming, as well as day trips to Sidi Kaouki beach or Sidi M’Barek, with its dunes and waterfalls.

Yes, Essaouira-Mogador Airport is an international airport just 20 minutes' drive from the hotel. There are direct flights from major European cities including London, as well as several cities in France and Spain.

The diversity of things to do in Essaouira makes the city alluring year-round, and autumns are warm but not too hot. Higher winds in summer attract surfers and kitesurfers. Visit in September or October while it's still warm, but crowds thin out and winds are lighter.
