Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima is the northernmost region of Morocco, where the country meets the Strait of Gibraltar, the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean. It combines the port city of Tangier and its Cap Spartel headland, the white-walled UNESCO medina of Tetouan, the blue-washed mountain town of Chefchaouen, the mural-covered Atlantic town of Asilah, the Mediterranean beaches of M'diq, Martil and Al Hoceima, and the wooded Rif mountains of Talassemtane National Park.

Accommodation overview

Accommodation in the region splits into four clusters. Tangier has grand historic hotels such as El Minzah, chain hotels along Avenue Mohammed VI and boutique riads in the Kasbah and medina. Chefchaouen is a town of small family-run guesthouses and dars in the blue medina, with a few larger hotels near Plaza El Makhzen. Tetouan has a handful of restored medina riads and business hotels in the new town. The Mediterranean coast around M'diq, Cabo Negro and Smir is dominated by resort hotels, while Al Hoceima has beach resorts on Sfiha beach. Budget rooms start around 200-450 MAD ($22-48 USD), mid-range properties run 450-1,200 MAD ($48-129 USD), and luxury stays 1,500-9,000 MAD ($161-968 USD). Rates listed here are indicative low-to-high season figures converted at 9.3 MAD per USD; coastal resorts rise sharply in July and August.

Tip

Book coastal resorts at M'diq, Smir and Al Hoceima months ahead for July and August; aggregator listings show Sofitel Tamuda Bay and The St. Regis La Bahia Blanca at roughly three times their winter rates in peak summer.

Tip

Chefchaouen medina guesthouses sit on stepped lanes. Visitors should message the property on WhatsApp or through the booking platform before arrival and agree a meeting point, such as Plaza Uta el-Hammam; a porter with a handcart typically charges about 20-30 MAD ($2-3 USD) per bag.

Tip

Tangier Kasbah and medina hotels cannot be reached by car. Taxis stop at the nearest gate; a 5-10 minute walk with luggage follows, so smaller bags help.

Tip

Ibn Battouta Airport (TNG) is about 15 km from the Ville Nouvelle; a grand taxi to the center costs about 150-250 MAD ($16-27 USD) at an agreed fare. Tanger Ville railway station (Al Boraq high-speed trains) is on Avenue Mohammed VI, within 10 minutes by petit taxi of most bay hotels.

Tip

A tourist tax of roughly 15-30 MAD ($1.60-3.20 USD) per person per night is added by licensed properties and normally paid at check-out.

Tip

Chefchaouen is busiest at weekends, Eid and Moroccan school holidays. During Ramadan city-hotel rates dip but many restaurants close by day.

Tip

Compare direct WhatsApp or email rates against Booking.com and Hotels.com; small riads often give free airport pick-up on stays of two nights or more. Rates in this list are indicative only and should be checked for the exact dates.
