Morocco Romantic Escapes

With the country’s stunning scenery, exotic culture and delicious food, a Morocco romantic holiday can be a magical experience that will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Explore Marrakech's bustling markets and ancient medinas after enjoying a leisurely breakfast of Moroccan crepes, a handful of black olives and mint tea at your tranquil riad. Spend your afternoon at Le Jardin Secret, an elegant 19th-century palace where you can walk through the gardens and whisper secrets among the trees. As the sun sets, wander through the atmospheric Djemaa el-Fna square, where you can marvel at the acrobats, snake charmers and storytellers that dot the square.

Hold on to your loved ones for a camel ride through the Sahara Desert to watch the sunset over the dunes. As night falls, you'll be treated to a traditional Moroccan dinner under the stars before returning to your riad for a restful night's sleep.

The picturesque mountain town of Chefchaouen is known for its blue-washed buildings and lovely views. Take a romantic stroll through the winding streets, visit the 16th-century kasbah or relax with a glass of mint tea in one of the charming cafes.

If the coast is calling your name, head to the beautiful seaside town of Asilah, with its whitewashed houses, blue shutters and lovely promenade. Here you can go swimming in the sea, enjoy the fresh seafood or simply relax on the beach and watch the world go by.

For a bit of adventure on your Morocco romantic holiday, hike up waterfalls and through gorges in the High Atlas Mountains. Or, if you're looking to add a little - or big - challenge to your Morocco trip, consider hiking up Mount Toubkal. At over 13,000 feet, it's the tallest peak in North Africa. The hike takes around two days, and you'll spend the night camping under the stars.
