Beaches and Resorts

Agadir is the undisputed capital of the Moroccan beach holiday. Its coastline is characterised by long, sandy stretches that are perfect for sunbathing or trying your hand at various watersports. Many of the properties here, such as the ROBINSON AGADIR and the Pickalbatros Palais Des Rose, offer direct access to the sea, making them ideal for a relaxing week by the ocean.

In contrast, Marrakech offers a different kind of resort experience. Nestled inland, many of the properties here, such as the Iberostar Waves Club Palmeraie Marrakech, the Pickalbatros Aqua Fun Club - Marrakech, or the Delta Hotels by Marriott Marrakech Eden Andalou, act as self-contained sanctuaries. With large pool areas, lush gardens, and spa facilities like those found at Marrakech Ryads Parc & Spa, they allow you to enjoy a luxurious climate while being close to the historic pulse of the city.

Food, Culture and Things to Do

A holiday in Morocco is a feast for the senses. You can spend your days wandering through the old-town areas, where the scent of spices fills the air and local craftsmen display their wares. The food is a major highlight, with flavourful tagines and fresh local produce being the staple of most menus. Whether you are dining in your resort or heading out to explore, the hospitality is warm and welcoming.

For those who prefer a mix of activity and rest, the variety of excursions is excellent. In Agadir, the seaside lifestyle dominates, while in Marrakech, you have the opportunity to take in the views of the Atlas Mountains or explore the sprawling palm groves of the Palmeraie area.

Getting There and When to Go

Morocco is well-connected for UK travellers, with regular flights departing from hubs like Manchester and Liverpool. The climate is generally warm and inviting, making it a reliable destination for a getaway almost any time of year. Spring and autumn are particularly pleasant, offering warm sunshine without the intense heat of the peak summer months, though the coastal breezes of Agadir help keep things comfortable even in the height of July and August.
