The Riad Tarifa

Nine rooms arranged around two courtyards bring a Moroccan riad to the Spanish side of the Strait of Gibraltar. The style leans into Moorish tilework and lanterns without going full theme park, and a hammam and rooftop terrace cover most of the amenities you'd actually want. It sits in the heart of old Tarifa, which handles the rest: good restaurants, shops, and the beach all within a short walk.
