Company information
Lovers of Moroccan cuisine and culture, Jannick and Hervé, childhood friends, decided to leave their respective jobs in France to embark on the Malaïka adventure.
Perfectionists at heart, both steer the Riad towards the discreet luxury of French hospitality.
Recruiting a talented Moroccan chef about ten years ago, the restaurant also takes on a new dimension and is now among the finest restaurants in the Kingdom.
The Malaika team, with its extensive experience, will assist you in organizing your stay by providing you with the best information.
We will offer you different types of activities, all more beautiful ... Spa, massages, horseback riding on the beach at sunset, quad biking between dunes and ocean, discovery of the old Mogador, Moroccan cooking classes, trek in the desert with our loyal Moroccan partners
Our challenge ... to make you forget your daily life and transport you for a weekend to the land of a thousand and one nights ... so that every day counts...
Property information
The restaurant, structured in the form of small intimate lounges, is among the most beautiful tables in the Kingdom of Morocco (selected in the guide to the 100 best restaurants in Morocco, 2024/2025 edition).
Our rooms with their typically Moroccan decor will immediately immerse you in a sober and exotic atmosphere.
Wrought iron, thuja wood, copper and multi-colored carpets make up the decor and are part of the furniture made on site by Souiris craftsmen.
Each of our nine rooms offers the comfort of a private bathroom with Tadelakt walls, a traditional waxed coating in natural colors. They are equipped with a window overlooking the outside or the patio, a shower and a toilet. For your well-being, the towels are changed every morning.
Our welcome products: soap, shower gel and shampoo made from natural products are developed in Marrakech especially for us by the company Nectarome.
Neighbourhood information
Knowing more about the history of a city, or a country, helps you to know yourself better, and a visit to the Medina will reveal some of the secrets of ancient Mogador, so dear to the main artistic and religious cultures. Its Unesco World Heritage status is no accident...
Our Riad is located close to the ramparts, at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of the Medina.
A 5-minute walk from Essaouira's main beach and 3 minutes from the fishing port.
