Good to know

Good to Know

  • Essaouira's coworking scene is small and mostly riad/hostel-based rather than corporate — expect boutique, homey settings (terraces, courtyards, small cafés) rather than big open-plan offices.
  • Noqta Space is generally considered the most established dedicated coworking option in the Medina and is the one most consistently recommended by remote workers.
  • None of these venues publish a standard flat monthly membership rate online — pricing is built around hourly/day rates or multi-day discount bundles, so if you want a month-long arrangement it's worth emailing ahead to negotiate a rate.
  • Wifi speed at hotel- and hostel-based coworking corners can vary a lot depending on how many other guests are online at the same time, especially in the evenings — the dedicated coworking spaces (like Noqta) tend to have more reliable, separate connections than hostel lobbies.
  • Essaouira does not have a Soho House-style private members' club — the work+social+amenities combination here comes from a small number of boutique coliving-hybrid riads and houses, not a formal membership system.
  • At Noqta Space, using the coworking area is billed separately from booking one of its coliving rooms, so factor that in even if you're staying there overnight.
  • Coliving-hybrid spaces outside the Medina (like Work & Beach and WELKAM) trade a longer walk to the old town for quieter surroundings and, in Work & Beach's case, direct beach/kitesurf access.
  • Published pricing for the beach-based coliving houses is inconsistent or absent online — it's worth messaging properties directly (Instagram/WhatsApp are common channels) to confirm current rates before booking, especially for longer stays.

Coworking Spaces

Traditional and Hotel-Based Spaces

  • Noqta Space
    Type
    Traditional coworking
    Neighborhood
    Medina (Impasse Moulay Abderrahman, right in the historic center)
    Day Pass Price
    MAD 80

    Open coworking area; full day. Hourly rate also available at 15 MAD/hour.

    Vibe and Amenities
    A restored old riad in the middle of the Medina combining coworking with coliving rooms. Noqta Space is described as the most popular coworking space in Essaouira, with solid internet from two separate WiFi routers, a coworking space that doubles as a cafe, and two rooftop terraces for working outdoors . It welcomes guests with more than traditional Moroccan riad elements, offering four furnished rooms, a two-story roof terrace overlooking the old town, and a courtyard for focused work . There's also a fully private, closed-door room option for those who don't want the open coworking atmosphere, priced separately from the shared area.
    Monthly Price Note
    No published flat monthly membership; the space instead offers discounted multi-day bundles (5-day and 10-day packs) rather than a calendar-month rate.
  • Mama Lova
    Type
    Hotel-based coworking
    Neighborhood
    Medina
    Day Pass Price
    MAD 200

    Morning slot (roughly 9am-12pm) including breakfast.

    Vibe and Amenities
    A velvet-laden boutique hotel that markets itself around a triple identity. Mama Lova is a velvet-laden boutique hotel that envisions itself as a coworking space and cafe by day, rooftop bar in the evening, and high-end hotel at night, with bookings including a meal and unlimited coffee, and seating in a cosy downstairs cafe or on a sunny rooftop terrace . It's a boutique hotel in the heart of the medina tapping into the digital nomad market , so the vibe leans upscale/design-forward rather than a bare-bones work desk setup.
    Monthly Price Note
    No monthly coworking rate published; this is a boutique hotel offering time-blocked day passes, not a subscription-style coworking membership.
  • Hotel Dar El Qdima
    Type
    Hotel-based coworking
    Neighborhood
    Medina area, Essaouira
    Day Pass Price
    MAD 100

    Half-day rate. Multi-day bundles also available: 450 MAD (~$48) for 5 days and 750 MAD (~$80) for 10 days.

    Vibe and Amenities
    A hotel offering a dedicated coworking room to both overnight guests and day-pass buyers. The coworking space costs 100dh for a half day, with discounted rates for 5-day and 10-day bundles, while rooms start at 1200dh for 3 nights with cheaper long-stay rates, and all guests get free access to the coworking space . Positioned as a mid-range option between the boutique-hotel feel of Mama Lova and the informal hostel-lobby setups elsewhere in town.
    Monthly Price Note
    No standalone monthly coworking price was found; hotel guests staying multiple nights get free access to the coworking space as part of their room rate.
  • Atlantic Hostel & Coworking Space
    Type
    Hotel-based coworking
    Neighborhood
    Medina
    Vibe and Amenities
    Marketed online as a coworking space but functions more as a hostel lobby with wifi. Searching for coworking in Essaouira surfaces Atlantic Hostel & Coworking Space, but visiting reveals guests basically order a drink from the upstairs cafe and sit in the lobby, or use a small rooftop area reserved for hotel guests and workers . The space is fine but nothing fancy or overly comfortable, and it can fill up as hostel guests come down to the lobby to escape their dorm room, with wifi that slows noticeably in the evening . Best treated as a backup, low-cost option rather than a primary workspace.
    Day Pass Note
    No formal ticketed day pass — you effectively pay by ordering from the café/bar and using the lobby or a small rooftop area.
  • Hostel La Smala (Rooftop)
    Type
    Hotel-based coworking
    Neighborhood
    Medina
    Vibe and Amenities
    Known more for its view than for serious work infrastructure. For a coworking space in Essaouira with the best view, the roof of Hostel la Smala in the Medina offers a stunning rooftop with white furniture, cactus, wicker lamps, and sweeping views of the Old Skala and the Atlantic Ocean . There's a restaurant/bar on the same rooftop for food and sunset drinks, but this is a scenic hostel hangout spot repurposed for laptop work rather than a purpose-built coworking office.
    Day Pass Note
    Informal — no dedicated coworking ticket; effectively pay-as-you-go via the rooftop restaurant/bar.

Membership Clubs and Co-living Hybrids

Context Note
No Soho House-style private membership club (combining work, social club, and hotel-grade amenities behind a paid membership) could be found in Essaouira. This is a small coastal town of roughly 80,000 people with a boutique, riad-based hospitality scene — the closest analogues are the coliving-hybrid spaces listed below, which are open on a pay-per-visit or room-booking basis rather than a formal membership model.

Clubs and Hybrids

  • Noqta Space
    Type
    Co-living / co-working hybrid
    Neighborhood
    Medina, near Bab Marrakech (Impasse Moulay Abderrahman)
    Vibe and Amenities
    A restored old riad converted into a work-live space with an open café-style coworking area, two quieter work rooms, two rooftop terraces, a ground-floor bar/café serving juices, coffee and Moroccan breakfast, and a small resident community of digital nomads. Open roughly 9am-8pm, Monday to Saturday (closed Sunday); note that the coworking pass is billed separately from any overnight room booking.

Reviews are mixed on workspace quality and in-room wifi reliability.
  • WELKAM Home and Coworking

    Type
    Co-living / co-working hybrid

    Just outside the Medina, about a 20-minute walk from the old town center
