Sleep in the medina, ride every day.
For a kitesurf or surf holiday in Essaouira, Riad Baladin is our address inside the old town — where Villa Amwaj, out in the countryside, offers the pool and the quiet, the riad offers the buzz of the medina, its rooftops and its immediate closeness to the port and the beach.
You come back from the spot, drop your board, and the town is right there. We take you to the kite or surf spot each morning, and you come home to Riad Baladin, a charming riad in Essaouira’s medina, at the end of the day.

What guests say.
The BEST riad in Morocco
“WOW. Amazing. I rarely share reviews online, but this was one of the best experiences I’ve had at a stay across many countries. The night crew and Felix especially helped us troubleshoot through a shaky start to our trip, with canceled flights, transportation, and getting us to the riad. Extremely helpful in providing recommendations, very delicious breakfasts, and an amazing vibe. Their cat Simba was equally lovely.”

Absolutely worth a visit
“A really cozy and family-friendly riad where the staff on site were absolutely fantastic. We really felt welcome from the very first moment. Really nice and clean rooms, a lovely rooftop terrace and a cosy little spa. Breakfast was really delicious and was served in the cozy rooms. If you’re staying in Essaouira, Riad Baladin is an obvious choice. You won’t regret it.”

The best Baladin
“Spending two nights here was well worth it — it’s at the end of a quiet alley in the pedestrian-only medina, only a few hundred feet from the historical rampart and right by many shops and restaurants. I had to catch the Supratours bus at 9:00 am, so I requested an early breakfast the day before. Seeing that Felix had my breakfast all ready at 8:00 definitely made my day!”
