Which area of Essaouira is best to stay in for pet-friendly hotels?
The best area to stay in Essaouira for pet-friendly hotels is within the Medina, particularly around the main square, Place Moulay Hassan, and the surrounding streets.

The Medina is the historic walled city and the heart of Essaouira. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site, characterised by its narrow, winding alleys, white-washed buildings with blue shutters, and a constant buzz of activity. You'll find many riads and guesthouses here, often with courtyards that provide a lovely space for pets. The main shopping streets, like Rue Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah, are also within easy reach.

Couples travelling with a pet will find the Medina appealing. Many riads here are small, independent establishments that often have a more flexible and welcoming approach to pets compared to larger, more impersonal hotels. You'll be able to easily access the port and the seafront promenade for walks with your pet, and many cafes in the Medina have outdoor seating where pets are often welcome.

For those who prefer more space and a slightly quieter environment, the area just outside the Medina walls, particularly along Avenue Mohammed V, offers a few larger hotels that are often pet-friendly.

What pet-friendly activities should we do in Essaouira?
The best pet-friendly activities in Essaouira involve enjoying the city's open spaces and the beach with your furry companion.

You'll find the main pet-friendly attraction is the long stretch of beach just south of the medina walls. This wide, sandy expanse is great for long walks, playing fetch, and letting your dog run freely. You can walk for kilometres along the coastline, enjoying the fresh Atlantic air and the views of the medina in the distance. Many local cafes along the beach promenade also welcome well-behaved dogs in their outdoor seating areas.

Couples travelling with a pet will appreciate the relaxed pace of Essaouira, which makes it easy to explore with your animal. Beyond the beach, the open areas just outside the medina walls, particularly around the Skala de la Ville, offer pleasant walks with sea views.
Can I cancel my pet-friendly hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right pet-friendly hotel in Essaouira for you.
Do any Essaouira hotels have restrictions on pet sizes or breeds?
First ensure you have picked a pet-friendly hotel by using the "Pet friendly" filter under the "Amenities" section in your search. If a hotel in Essaouira has restrictions on pet sizes or breeds, you will find this information clearly in their property listing on Expedia. When you're on the property listing page, simply click on "Policies" to see what pet-specific policies the hotel implements.

There are plenty of ways to save on a pet-friendly hotel in Essaouira. Join One Key™, our free travel rewards program, to unlock Member Prices across a range of premium hotels. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your pet-friendly hotel booking.
How do I ensure I have booked a pet-friendly room in Essaouira?
To ensure you've booked a pet-friendly room on Expedia, use the filters in your search and select "Pet friendly" under the "Amenities" section. This will narrow your options to properties that allow pets. Once you find a hotel you're interested in, click on it and review the "Policies" section for specific details about their pet policy. This often includes information about pet types, size restrictions, fees, and whether pets are allowed in all rooms or only certain ones. When selecting your room type, read the room description to check that its pet-friendly, as not all rooms in a pet-friendly hotel may accommodate pets. For added peace of mind, contact the hotel directly to confirm the room you've selected allows pets.
How much does a pet-friendly hotel in Essaouira cost?
You can find pet-friendly hotels in Essaouira from AU$70 with Expedia.

Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a pet-friendly hotel in Essaouira as a package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately.

With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
