Dar Amastan is a meticulously restored 19th-century riad nestled in the heart of Essaouira's medina. Eleven uniquely designed rooms and suites across three floors surround a courtyard β a world apart from the Atlantic winds outside. Every detail honors Moroccan craft: hand-carved cedar, zellige by local artisans, tadelakt plaster warmed by brass light.

The City
Essaouira β once called Mogador β is Morocco's most soulful coastal city. A UNESCO-listed medina, a legendary wind for kitesurfers, a thriving arts scene, and a port that still smells of salt and cedar. It is the perfect counterpoint to Marrakech's heat and intensity.
