Riad Cherifa is a 12 room riad hotel in the old medina of Chefchaouen, a few steps from the Bab Ssouk gate. Its Hammam & Spa combines a traditional Moroccan hammam, a hair salon, a heated pool and an atrium, and the signature hammam ritual works through steam, gentle exfoliation, a ceremonial massage and a ghassoul clay wrap. A second pool sits outdoors in the garden, built against the bare rock of the hillside.
