Wahed: perfect for holidays or longer live-work stays

Light and airy Wahed (Apartment 1) is a three-storey townhouse-style apartment.

From its imposing French windows, you can watch daily life unfold – children playing on the street; women drawing water from the public fountain; craftsmen heading back and forth to their tiny workshops; horses coming home to their stables at night.

Wahed is a one-bedroom apartment set over three floors, with its own dedicated workspace/ reading room, an open plan living, dining and kitchen space, and a en-suite bedroom leading onto a split-level roof terrace. The apartment looks out over Rue Chbanat, a characterful street in the Essaouira medina.

We welcome couples, friends or small families who value their privacy, for long or short stays. The roof is great for lounging and watching sunsets, and we have super fast wifi. Beaches, cafés, restaurants and street markets are within 10 minutes’ stroll.

Booking

You may find the apartment on third party booking sites, but we also take direct reservations. We are happy to organise taxi transfers, tours and other local services. Make an enquiry.

Far better than a riad, where you’ve got no privacy at all - we loved being able to close ourselves away but still peep out through the shutters and see life going on from a distance.
