Morocco has long been a firm favourite for holidaymakers flying out from Manchester and Liverpool, offering a perfect blend of year-round sunshine and a refreshing cultural change of pace. Whether you are looking for a relaxing beach escape or a vibrant city break, this North African gem provides an accessible and exciting destination for both families and couples.

With convenient flight times and a wide variety of all-inclusive packages available, it is easy to see why so many British travellers return to Morocco time and again for their annual dose of warmth and relaxation.

Choosing the Right Resort for You

With so many options, choosing where to stay is the first step in planning your trip. Agadir is perfect for those who want to be close to the sand, while Marrakech offers a more immersive, inland experience surrounded by unique landscapes.

If you are heading to the coast, the Argana Hotel in Agadir is located in the tourist sector and is just a short walk from the sandy beach and local attractions. For a luxury beachfront stay, the Pickalbatros Palais Des Rose offers a premium 5-star experience in Agadir. Alternatively, the Iberostar Waves Founty Beach is a fantastic beachfront resort option in the same town.

Inland, the choice of accommodation is equally impressive. For families who love to splash around, the Aqua Mirage Club & Aqua Parc - All Inclusive in Marrakech features an extensive water park and beautiful views of the Atlas Mountains. If you prefer a tranquil retreat in the famous palm groves, the Iberostar Waves Club Palmeraie Marrakech provides a high-quality resort stay. For a modern, 5-star experience, the Movenpick Marrakech is situated in the stylish Hivernage district.

Beaches, Culture and Climate

Agadir is the undisputed capital of the Moroccan beach holiday. The town is famous for its long, golden stretches of sand and a temperate climate that stays pleasant throughout much of the year. It is an ideal spot for those who want to combine watersports and sunbathing with a laid-back pace of life.

Marrakech, by contrast, is an assault on the senses in the best possible way. It is a city defined by its bustling old-town centres and historic charm. Many visitors choose to stay on the outskirts or in the lush Palmeraie district to enjoy expansive resort facilities, such as the Pickalbatros Aqua Fun Club - Marrakech with its large pools, or the Marrakech Ryads Parc & Spa. Golfers are also well-catered for, with the Hotel du Golf by Pickalbatros providing a specialised resort experience in the Palmeraie area.

When to Go and What to Expect

Morocco is a fantastic year-round destination, though the spring and autumn months offer the most comfortable temperatures for exploring the lively city markets or heading out on day trips to the Atlas Mountains. The summer months can get very hot, making the all-inclusive resort pools at places like the Delta Hotels by Marriott Marrakech Eden Andalou or the Riu Tikida Palmeraie a welcome necessity.

If you prefer a smaller, more intimate feel for your holiday, consider a property like the Hotel Prestige Agadir Boutique, which offers a change of pace from the larger, sprawling resorts. No matter your preference, the mix of Moroccan hospitality and British-friendly holiday packages ensures a hassle-free trip.

Who Does Morocco Suit?

Morocco is incredibly versatile. Families will love the abundance of all-inclusive resorts that feature dedicated kids' clubs and water parks, removing the stress from mealtimes and entertainment. Couples will find the mix of luxury 5-star hotels and the atmospheric, historic surroundings of Marrakech perfect for a romantic break.
