Getting There and When to Go

The destination is well-served by package holiday operators, meaning your transfers and accommodation are usually organised as one complete, stress-free bundle. The best time to visit is during the spring or autumn months when the temperatures are warm and pleasant, making it easy to enjoy both the outdoor pools and the historic streets without the intense heat of the height of summer.

Resorts and Atmosphere

Many of the resorts here are designed specifically with the British traveller in mind. You will find that the all-inclusive model is very popular, particularly in areas like the Palmeraie and the outskirts of Marrakesh. These resorts often act as self-contained villages where the focus is entirely on your comfort, whether you are lounging by a massive pool or enjoying a drink while looking out at the mountains. If you prefer to be at the centre of the action, the historic riads offer a completely different, more intimate pace of life.

For those who enjoy a bit of history, a stroll through the old town areas is an absolute must; it is a sensory experience that defines the region. Outside of the city centres, the landscape is stunning, and there is plenty of space for relaxing or taking gentle walks to soak up the atmosphere.

It is perfect for families who need kids' clubs and water parks to keep the little ones entertained, as well as couples who want a mix of sunshine and something a bit different from the usual Mediterranean beach holiday.
