الأمان

Relaxed and safe; a low-key, local-feeling resort town

On the Mediterranean coast of the Rif, Al Hoceïma is Morocco's under-the-radar seaside escape: a compact, Spanish-flavoured town wrapped around a sweep of beaches and hidden coves, backed by dramatic white cliffs. The water is clear, warm and startlingly blue.

Beyond the town lies Al Hoceïma National Park, a stretch of wild coast and limestone mountains where ospreys nest and empty calas can only be reached by boat. For travellers who want the Mediterranean without the crowds, it is a revelation.

A Mediterranean gem

Founded in the 1920s and long shaped by Spanish and Rifian influences, Al Hoceïma feels different from Morocco's imperial cities, more Mediterranean village than medina. Its main draw is simple and superb: some of the country's prettiest beaches and coves, in a compact, walkable setting.

The national park

Al Hoceïma National Park protects a rugged coastline of white limestone cliffs, secret calas and Mediterranean forest, together with important birdlife including one of North Africa's osprey populations. Boat trips from town reveal hidden beaches, sea caves and clear water ideal for swimming and snorkelling.

When to go

Summer (May–September) is beach season, when the town comes alive and the sea is at its warmest. Spring is quieter and beautiful for the coast and hills. Winters are mild but cooler, better suited to walking than swimming.
