Getting There and When to Go

Package holidays to Morocco are well-supported from UK airports, with regular departures making it easy to reach either Marrakech or Agadir. The climate is generally warm and dry, making it a fantastic year-round destination. Spring and autumn are particularly popular for those looking to avoid the peak heat of mid-summer, providing the perfect temperature for walking around old-town centres or lounging by the pool.

Beaches and Resorts

Agadir is the undisputed capital of the Moroccan beach holiday. With its long, wide stretches of sand and a modern tourist infrastructure, it is perfect for travellers who want to spend their days swimming, sunbathing, or enjoying watersports. The resorts here are designed to make the most of the coastline, often featuring expansive pool areas and easy access to the ocean.

In contrast, Marrakech offers a different pace of life. While it is inland, the resorts in the Palmeraie area or on the outskirts of the city provide vast, lush garden settings and swimming complexes that act as an oasis. These properties often blend traditional Moroccan design with modern comforts, providing a relaxing base after a day spent exploring the markets and historic areas of the city.

Food and Things to Do

One of the true joys of a holiday in Morocco is the food. Visitors can expect fragrant tagines, fresh couscous, and an abundance of local produce. Beyond dining, the country offers a wealth of experiences. In Marrakech, the historic city centres are a sensory delight, filled with vibrant colours and traditional goods. In Agadir, the focus is naturally on the sea, with plenty of opportunities for relaxing on the beach or enjoying a quiet evening stroll along the promenade.

Who Does it Suit?

Morocco is an incredibly versatile destination. Families appreciate the range of all-inclusive resorts, many of which feature on-site water parks, kids' clubs, and family-sized suites. Couples, on the other hand, will find the mix of luxury spa hotels and the atmosphere of the historic cities provides a romantic and memorable backdrop for a getaway.
