Dar Jasmine Chefchaouen: Is This the Best View in Morocco? (2026 Review)

If you have spent any time looking at photos of Chefchaouen, Morocco, you have likely seen a stunning infinity pool overlooking a sea of blue buildings. That view belongs to Dar Jasmine Chefchaouen.

During my last visit to the Blue Pearl, I wanted to see if this hotel lived up to the social media hype. Is it just a "pretty face," or is it truly one of the best hotels in Chefchaouen? In this long-form review, we dive into the rooms, the service, and that famous panoramic view.

The Location: A Bird’s Eye View

Unlike most Chefchaouen hotels located deep inside the narrow alleys of the Medina of Chefchaouen, Dar Jasmine is perched on the hillside of the Rif Mountains, directly across from the old city.

  • The Benefit: You get a full, unobstructed view of the entire Medina Chefchaouen Morocco. Watching the city turn from bright blue in the afternoon to a soft glowing purple at night is one of the most magical things to do in Chefchaouen at night.
  • The Catch: To get this view, you have to climb. There are about 150-200 stairs to reach the entrance from the road. If you have heavy luggage, the hotel provides a donkey or porters—a classic Chaouen Morocco experience!

The Design and Rooms

Each room at Dar Jasmine Chefchaouen is named after a different world city (like Kyoto, Paris, or New York), but the decor remains firmly rooted in Moroccan luxury.

  • Aesthetic: Expect high-end finishes, hand-carved wood, and floor-to-ceiling windows.
  • The Bed: After a long day of exploring things to do in Chefchaouen, the beds here feel like a cloud. This is a significant upgrade from the firmer, traditional mattresses found in many budget Chefchaouen Morocco hotels.
  • Amenities: Modern AC (essential for summer), high-speed Wi-Fi, and premium Moroccan bath products.

Dining: Breakfast Above the Clouds

Breakfast at Dar Jasmine is an event. Served on the outdoor terrace, you are treated to a spread of:

  • Freshly squeezed orange juice.
  • Harcha (Moroccan semolina bread).
  • Local mountain honey and goat cheese.
  • Eggs cooked to order.

Eating breakfast while looking down at the Medina of Chefchaouen is a memory you won't soon forget. It’s one of the main reasons travelers decide that Chefchaouen is worth visiting.

Service and Hospitality

The staff at Dar Jasmine understand high-end hospitality. They are experts at helping guests plan their 2 Day Chefchaouen Itinerary. Whether you need a private guide for the Medina or a taxi for Chefchaouen from Tangier, they handle the logistics with ease.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • The most iconic view in the city.
  • Incredible infinity pool (rare for the Medina area).
  • Peaceful and quiet, away from the street noise of the square.

Cons:

  • The stairs can be challenging for those with limited mobility.
  • Higher price point than most hotels in Chefchaouen.

Final Verdict

Is Dar Jasmine Chefchaouen worth the price? If you are celebrating a honeymoon, an anniversary, or simply want the most beautiful experience possible in Shefshauen Morocco, then yes. It is more than just a place to sleep; it is a highlight of the trip itself.
