Casa Lila and Spa is an upscale riad at 94 Rue Mohamed El Qorry, near the Bab Marrakech gate. It offers an on-site spa with sports massage, body treatments and scrubs, a restaurant, a bar, room service, a library and a rooftop terrace. Free WiFi, a concierge, luggage storage and a front-desk safe are included, and the front desk is staffed around the clock. The beach is a seven-minute walk, and Place Moulay Hassan and the clock tower are about five minutes away. It suits couples and travellers who want a calm, well-appointed riad with spa treatments, and who do not mind a slightly longer walk to the main square.
Location and getting around
The riad sits near Bab Marrakech, on the edge of the medina where it is easier to reach by taxi or car than hotels deep in the lanes. Place Moulay Hassan and the clock tower are about five minutes on foot, the beach and the Skala de la Ville about seven, and the Skala du Port about eight. Essaouira airport is roughly twenty-six minutes by car, and an airport shuttle can be arranged for a fee. There is no parking on site.
Rooms and atmosphere
This is the quieter, more private option among our five, with a spa and treatment rooms that make it a good choice for a slow trip. The rooftop terrace is a pleasant spot for the evening, and the library and restaurant add atmosphere. Room service means you can eat in after a long day, and a free daily reception hosted by the manager adds a personal touch.
Who it suits and good to know: it suits couples and spa lovers. The property does not state that breakfast is included, although guests mention eating on the rooftop terrace, so check what your rate covers. No pool is shown, and pets are not allowed. Check-in starts mid-afternoon and runs to midnight, and check-out is at eleven thirty, a little earlier than elsewhere. A slightly longer walk to the main square is the trade-off for a calmer address, so confirm the walking route when you book.
