8 best beach hotels in Fes

Beach hotels in Fes are really about *coastal ease*, not oceanfront waves: in this inland city, a “beach-style” stay means calm, sun-and-salt-inspired design, relaxing rooftops, and easy access to the main sightseeing circuits—so you still get that unwinding feel after exploring. For most travellers, the best fit is staying close to Fes el-Bali (the Old City/medina), where you can step into the historic lane network and reach major sights on foot. Fes el-Bali is the oldest part of Fez and forms the core of the medina.

Aim for areas around the Bou Inania Madrasa and the wider medina cultural corridor, where craft, architecture and museums cluster—ideal for a slow, restorative pace between visits. Another strong anchor is the Chouara Tannery area in the old quarter, a classic sensory landmark for first-time visitors.

These “beach” hotels suit couples, solo travellers and anyone who prefers boutique calm (often with terraces and spa-style comforts) over busy city-life. Examples from our bookable inventory include *Riad Inaya Fez (3★)*, *Dar S’bah (3★)* and *Palais Faraj Suites Spa (5★)*, offering the kind of cosy atmosphere that makes a non-coastal destination feel like a retreat.
