Where to stay in Tetouan: areas and local tips

Tetouan has many faces. The Medina lives from its history, the Ensanche is comfortable and European, and the nearby coast offers family beach or discreet luxury.

The Medina, to fall for the city

Narrow streets, riads with courtyards and very little traffic. If you want to experience Tetouan for real, this is your area.

The Ensanche, for comfort

Cafés, restaurants and parking options. A solid base if you're driving or working from your stay.

The coast: Martil, M'diq and Cabo Negro

For families and summer. Each has its own character — Martil lively, M'diq more balanced, Cabo Negro premium.
