Morocco Holidays

An exotic beach break with a twist; Morocco holidays are filled with vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and glittering sunshine.

Holidays in Morocco

Perched on the crossroads of Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, Morocco offers a unique blend of experiences. Boasting a rich cultural heritage influenced by Berber, Arab, and French traditions, Morocco is a land where ancient traditions blend seamlessly with modern luxuries and vibrant cities give way to serene deserts and majestic mountains.

Holidays in Morocco are all about experiencing something new. From the bustling souks of Marrakech to the golden beaches of Agadir, Morocco offers a magic medley of sights, sounds, and experiences. Whether you’re an adventurer seeking the thrill of the High Atlas Mountains or looking to relax in an all-inclusive resort on the coast, we have a Morocco package holiday for everyone.

When is the best time to visit? Summers in Morocco are hot, hot, hot! With parts of the country seeing summer highs of up to 39°c, summers in Morocco are not for everyone. But the coastal cities do have sea breezes that help with the sizzling temperatures. The best time to visit Morocco is during autumn and winter when temperatures swing in the mid-20s and sightseeing, sunbathing, and souvenir hunting in souks is a lot easier.

Where is the best place to stay? With its close proximity to Europe and wide range of accommodation options, from luxurious all-inclusive resorts to budget-friendly riads, Morocco is both accessible and affordable- making it the perfect place for a bargain package break. Marrakech is a must-stay for first-time visitors looking for sun, sights, and history. Another popular resort for first-time travellers to Morocco is the coastal gem of Agadir. With six miles of stunning coast and 300 days of sunshine a year, Agadir is a favourite for good reason. Other places to stay on a holiday to Morocco include the bohemian beach chic city of Essaouira and the iconic modern metropolis Casablanca, offering a unique blend of old and new.
