Casablanca, Essaouira, High Atlas Mountains, Marrakesh
This leisurely tour is perfect for honeymooners or anyone seeking an exotic, romantic getaway. Experience Morocco's finest hotels and enjoy private touring and ample leisure time near the seaside, in the mountains, and in Morocco's most enjoyable city: Marrakesh.
Begin with a night in the fabled city of Casablanca. Enjoy a private introductory tour and some time to relax after your flight before driving to Essaouira, a charming, centuries-old port town on the Atlantic Coast known for beaches, modern art, traditional crafts and a unique blend of architectural styles. Stay three nights in a courtyard palace converted into a luxurious Relais & Chateaux hotel. Alternatively, opt to stay at a larger beachfront resort known for its spa. During private touring, explore narrow streets lined with whitewashed buildings, take in views from atop the city walls and browse the studios of local artisans. There will also be time to relax and enjoy the beach.
Next, you will be driven to the High Atlas Mountains for three nights at Kasbah Tamadot, one of Morocco's most acclaimed luxury retreats, best known for its traditional Moroccan design and stunning infinity pool overlooking the spectacular mountain views. While there, enjoy private visits to local villages and Berber markets, browse the gardens, and book spa treatments.
Continue by car to Marrakesh, an ancient city of weathered pink buildings, romantic restaurants, museums, palaces, bustling souks (markets) and upscale shops. Stay three nights at the exclusive Amanjena, a Moorish-style resort of gardens and reflecting pools set behind ochre-colored walls. With your own guide and driver, experience the best of Marrakesh: the most interesting markets, palaces, gardens, monuments and shopping districts including Djemaa el-Fna, Jardin Majorelle, Jardin Menara, Palais de la Bahia, Dar Si Said Museum of Moroccan Arts and the Palmerie. During leisure time, relax at the Amanjena's spa or traditional hammam (steam bath), enjoy the swimming pool, tennis courts and boutiques, and explore the many excellent dining options both at the resort and in converted palaces and ryads around Marrakesh.
