"Contemporary Sub-Saharan ambiance with beautiful antique oriental touches"
Villa de lO
A luxury Riad in Essaouira beautifully furnished with a combination of original Moroccan and oriental artifacts along with modern luxuries and conveniences making Villa de l'Ô a beautiful Riad in Essaouira and a excellent contrast between the contemporary and traditional.
Sheltered by the original Medina walls in one of the closest locations to the beach in Essaouira and working fish port, Villa de l’Ô is a Riad in Essaouira only a few meters from the souks, thriving main square and most of the best restaurants in Essaouira.
Villa de l'Ô is a XVIIIth century Riad, in keeping with the Riads architectural spirit and giving the subtle alchemy between stone, sculpted wood, and the quivering of the beautifully made fabrics. Meticulously refined, the modern decoration of Villa de l'Ô combines the oriental and colonial spirit in a Sub-Saharan African style but without forgetting the most modern facilities and technologies.
Villa de l'Ô offers one of the best views in Essaouira of the beach and Atlantic ocean from its large roof terrace, “LÔxygène", where guests can relax in peace and tranquility or take breakfast on the variety of seating areas.
Villa de l'Ô has 2 more intimate seating areas in the Riad, "L'Ôbène" and "l'Ôracle", created as salons for a calming moment of reading, conversation or as a pre-evening exploration Apéritif, always most appreciated on any holiday in Morocco.
“L’Ôasis”, is the central patio at Villa de l'Ô where guests can meet to have a drink or relax a while under Essaouira sky in a blessing of light, vegetation and water.
Base prices are in €Euro: Sterling, USD and Moroccan dirham rates will vary by exchange rate.

Villa de lO
"Each room is done up differently and so make sure you pick the room you want when making reservations. It’s a perfect boutique hotel.
The hotel has a terrace with a spectacular view of the ocean! A perfect place to watch the sunset! The hotel is a stones throw away from the beach!
Everything about the hotel was wonderful- the service, the décor and the breakfast!"
A guest from Paris, March 2013
"This boutique hotel is the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in. It's a little diamond! Superb warmth, friendliness and helpfulness from the owner Caroline and her very attentive team. They were all very engaging! The attention to detail really is exceptional. Very comfortable and well laid out rooms that you can really feel at home in. I slept very well on the good quality double bed I had and the pillows and bed linen finished off the touch of luxury.
I especially enjoyed the substantial and healthy breakfast with freshly squeezed juices on the roof terrace which had amazing panoramic views of the beach and roof top angles of part of the medina.
The rooms downstairs like the indoor courtyard for example were wonderful right down to the natural avery it has established with small birds like Finches creating a beautiful background chorus whilst I took afternoon beverages. Another room I loved was the games room with log fire and Edwine makes the best hot chocolate soothers!
I was delighted with my hammam and massage and not to far to go, just down one flight of stairs in fact!"
