Where to Stay in Chefchaouen? A Guide to the Best Areas

Where you stay can transform your entire experience of Chefchaouen. For a first visit, the Medina is especially worth considering if you want to be right in the heart of the town's traditional atmosphere.

Staying in the Medina puts the blue alleys, shops, restaurants, Plaza Outa el Hammam, and several of the town's sights within easy walking distance.

Why Choose a Riad in Chefchaouen?

A riad offers a far more authentic experience than a standard hotel. Moroccan architecture, zellige tilework, carved wood, an interior courtyard, and a rooftop terrace are all part of what makes it special.

Riad Seddiki: Staying in the Heart of the Medina

Riad Seddiki is located in the Chefchaouen Medina, near Ras El Maa. Plaza Outa el Hammam is about a five-minute walk away.

With its 11 rooms and suites, rooftop terrace, and atmosphere inspired by Moroccan heritage, the riad makes an ideal base for exploring the town.

Tip: to explore Chefchaouen on foot, choose accommodation in Chefchaouen located directly in — or right next to — the Medina.
