Xanadu

Sidi Ifni


Tucked away off Ave Mohammed V, this restored house offers a contemporary take on the Ifni aesthetic, with soothing colours in each of the five rooms. Good breakfast is served on the roof and the book-filled lounge is ideal for whiling away an evening. Book ahead if you want to stay here; the host isn't always in town.
