Gorgeous Riad. Charming rooms. We stayed for 5 nights. We were happy to have a junior suite with more space. The attention to details from Nadia & Thierry was excellent. Highly recommended.

The Riad itself is extremely cozy, beautifully decorated with spacious rooms. Nadia and Henry were accommodating and helpful when I decided to extend my stay. I was travelling alone and wanted to relax and recover in Essaouira from more vibrant cities. My stay at Salmiya Dune definitely helped :)

We very much enjoyed our stay at Riad Salmiya Dune. Nadia and Thierry were great hosts, they were warm and welcoming during our stay and made us feel at home. They also helped to arrange our transport onwards to our next destination. They were very responsive in communication prior to the trip. The place itself is spacious, rooms nicely decorated and breakfast was well received every morning. We walked everywhere from the Riad and never felt we needed a taxi or other transport. We would gladly stay again, thanks for having us

“Cute and peaceful riad outside the busy Medina”
The riad is really cute and the staff very helpful, providing useful recommendations to book activities or restaurants/shops during my stay. I enjoyed the Moroccan breakfast they served.

“Amazing hosts and beautiful Riad.”
My stay at Riad Salmiya Dune was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I stepped through the door, Nadia made me feel completely at home with her warm and attentive hospitality. The riad is located in a quiet area, just a few minutes from the beach and about a 25-minutes walk (alongside the ocean) from the medina, there also plenty of blue taxis with fixed rate available. The riad itself is beautifully decorated, very clean, and thoughtfully maintained. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Breakfasts were delicious and prepared with care. Nadia also shared a list of recommendations, which turned out to be incredibly helpful during my stay. I would definitely love to come back and stay here again!

“Happy guest.”
Beautiful riad, away from the beach in a quiet part of Essaouira but close enough to enjoy the sea air after a short walk. Nadia was so helpful. I stayed for 7 days + she gave me good advice every day.

Staying at Riad Salmina Dune was a dream! They arranged my taxi from marrakesh to Essaouira. The riad was super clean and my room was super cozy and well decorated. Breakfast was amazing and the couple that owns the Riad are super nice :) they gave me a lot of recommendations. I will be back 🩵🩵

“A wonderful stay filled with kindness, authenticity, and comfort — highly recommended.”
Everything was perfect — the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, and their attention to detail made the stay even more special. The riad’s authentic décor and beautiful architecture create a truly unique atmosphere. Its location is ideal, with every main attraction in Essaouira just a short walk away. The hosts were always available, attentive, and genuinely helpful.
