Hotels in Essaouira, Morocco
Essaouira is a coastal city on Morocco's Atlantic coast, famous for its strong winds that make it a top spot for windsurfing and kitesurfing on the ocean. The climate stays mild all year, with summer highs around 25°C (77°F) and winter lows near 17°C (63°F), so you can windsurf from spring through fall, while winter is perfect for exploring the 18th-century Portuguese fortifications and the bustling fish market at the port. In June, the city hosts the Gnawa music festival, featuring traditional Moroccan spiritual music that fills the streets.
