Recommended hotels by us
For those who wish to combine their riding adventure with a comfortable stay, we’ve selected a few of our favorite places to stay in Essaouira and Marrakech.
Each of these hotels shares the same spirit that defines Equi Evasion – authentic, welcoming, and deeply connected to Morocco’s beauty and culture. Whether you prefer the calm of the ocean breeze in Essaouira or the vibrant pulse of Marrakech, these are the places we personally recommend for a memorable stay before or after your ride.
Essaouira
Essaouira is one of Morocco’s most charming coastal towns – a place where whitewashed walls, blue doors, and the sound of the ocean create an atmosphere of timeless calm. Just five minutes away, in the small village of Diabat, you’ll find the Equi Evasion stables. From here, you can easily explore both the city and the surrounding beaches on horseback.
Villa Beldi
Villa Beldi is a peaceful guesthouse just a five-minute walk from the Equi Evasion stables, located in the quiet countryside outside Essaouira. Surrounded by a beautiful garden with a pool and comfortable lounge areas, it’s an ideal place to relax after a day of riding. The villa also features a small spa offering massages and traditional treatments, and each room includes a desk for quiet moments of writing or work. Guests booking through Equi Evasion receive a 5 % discount on their stay.
Marrakech
Marrakech is the ideal starting point for your adventure with Equi Evasion. The city is well connected with international flights, making arrival easy and convenient. From Marrakech, it’s just a three-hour drive to Essaouira — a journey we’re happy to organize for you. Many of our guests spend a few days in the vibrant city before or after their ride, or come to Essaouira for a two-day excursion to experience the ocean and the horses.
Riad Snan 13
Riad Snan 13 is an elegant boutique riad tucked away in the quiet Mouassine district of Marrakech’s old medina. Behind its discreet door lies a peaceful world of white walls, soft light, and refined simplicity. Guests can relax in the inner courtyard with its small pool or enjoy the view over the rooftops from the terrace. With only a few rooms, the atmosphere is calm and personal – a perfect base before or after your ride
Riad Rafaele & Spa
Riad Rafaele & Spa is a four-star riad located in the heart of Marrakech’s old medina. Combining traditional Moroccan architecture with warm hospitality, it offers spacious rooms, a tranquil courtyard, and a beautiful rooftop terrace overlooking the city.
