“Beautiful riad, amazing service!”
Kevin and his partner make this wonderful place a true treasure! The riad is even more beautiful than the pictures show and the service is absolutely amazing. The location is a bit remote, but the quietness and ambience were for us absolutely worth the drive.

“Absolutely perfect!”
The owners of Riad Sanam have, without a doubt, been the absolute best hosts ever! From a wonderful homemade breakfast consisting of everything you could ask for, to arranging transport to the medina, booking massages, delicious coffees, lunches, welcome gift with a handwritten message, chocolate and a bottle of wine and a small package with bodylotion, shampoo and conditioner when we left. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Riad Sanam is wonderfully decorated, has a nice pool, beautiful terraces and the rooms are quite small but cosy with a fully equipped bathroom. 100% recommended! Kevin and Kevin, thanks for everything! We’ll see you in Amsterdam! ♥️

“Beautiful & unique experience created with passion!”
Riad Sanam is created with passion & beautiful details! The lovely French couple will give you an amazing unique experience at their beautiful riad. You will feel warmly welcomed. Relaxed chill oasis with sunterasses by the poolside, in the lush garden among the turtles or on the rooftop to be enjoyed. This is a hidden jem that soon will shine very bright! We will come back soon again, Lots of love to you, Kevin’s Marlon & Lotta

“Very nice stay :)”
A very beautiful and quiet place. Good to relax before you fly back (just 5 minutes drive to the Essaouira airport). They serve a really good breakfast, they have a nice pool and a small garden to rest. The rooms are really pretty too. Nathalie and Bertrand are one of the kindest people that I met on my holiday in Maroc. They were so welcoming and always there to help. If you need a car, they can also help you out. They are working together with a company and it was very easy. The rest of the staff was also very kind. I would always come back :) thank you for everything!

“A true paradise!”
Nathalie and Bertrand are extraordinary hosts who make you feel part of their family from the moment you step into their stunning home. The accommodation is nothing short of breathtaking—a tranquil little oasis where you can truly unwind. The breakfast, prepared with love and care, is absolutely delicious, and you can taste the love in every bite. We were thrilled to have found this hidden gem and are already looking forward to returning. When we visit Morocco again, there’s no question we’ll be staying here. Thank you, Nathalie and Bertrand, for an unforgettable stay! À bientôt! Mats & Annelies

“A true gem!”
Riad Sanam is an absolute delight! Nathalie will do everything in her power to make your stay memorable. Breakfast is out of this world. The riad is only 10 min from the beach, supermarket, restaurants and airport. You do need a car to get around. We would highly recommend Riad Sanam! ❤️

“Oasis in Esscouira”
Everything was excellent! It was an amazing place for us to just relax and enjoy the sun during the day. We even stayed one day longer because we liked it so much. The hosts were so friendly and made us feel like home immediately. They even asked us what we would like to have for breakfast every morning…Thank you so much for everything! A car is nice to have! We always went to the city for dinner.

“Super accommodation, especially for couples. You feel welcome from the first second till you leave.”
The hosts are marvellous, very kind and warm and more than helpful. The rooms are nice and very clean. The pool area is nice and romantic with the blossoming bougainvillea and beautiful plants. The breakfast is served in the garden and contains Moroccan pancakes, cake and whatever you like.

“Tranquille and Beautiful Oasis with Exceptional Service 🤩”
We had an exceptional stay at Riad Sanam! It surpassed all our expectations. The house is stunning, and both Bertrand and the chef Abdullah were incredibly helpful and kind. The breakfast was superb, and our needs were effortlessly catered to throughout our entire stay. A perfect 10 experience! We highly recommend it and look forward to returning as a family for the next anniversary :)

“Great please with a pool to relax while visiting the area.”
The property is about 20 minutes drive from the centre of Essaouira - we appreciated the peace and quiet and rural atmosphere. Natalie, Bertrand and their staff were excellent hosts.

“We had a lovely couple of days at the Riad and the staff went out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable.”
The Riad was a beautiful oasis of calm after a busy few days in Marrakesh. The terraces and pool were lovely spaces and the bedrooms were well equipped.

“just wonderfully at home”
the hosts of the riad are super nice and friendly. They make you feel at home right away. You will need a car to get to and from the riad but it’s very close to Essaouira and at a good location to discover the more rural area around the city. the nights are quit you won’t hear or see anything at night and the view of the sky at night is mesmerizing, the view you won’t find in light polluted Europe.
