Luxury Holidays to Morocco

Enjoy private beaches and VIP treatment on your luxurious holiday to Morocco

Morocco’s exotic beaches and luxurious 5* hotels are closer than you think, with a flight time of just over three hours from the UK.

There are some breathtaking sites all along Morocco’s golden coast, offering holidaymakers a little taste of luxury. Whether you’re eager to experience the world-renowned spas or the stunning expanse of sands, Morocco is ready and waiting to give you the well deserved VIP treatment.

Agadir sits on 10 kilometres of shining sand and is home to several 5* resorts, all with private access to the coast and fantastic fine dining options. Marrakech is Agadir’s rival and is a historical and cultural hotspot, with art galleries and vibrant souks taking centre stage. But even this exciting city dabbles in the finer things in life, with 5* hotels in secluded gardens, and lemon trees and olive groves making an idyllic backdrop to your al fresco dining.

Living the high life in Morocco

If you’re looking to splurge a little this holiday then Agadir will be right up your alley. This bustling seaside city has a whole range of luxurious activities to join in on. Take a sunset boat trip from Agadir’s marina and enjoy a romantic getaway out on the water. Or spend the day at the Agadir Golf Training Centre, where you can practice your swing with help from a highly trained professional.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a luxury holiday without venturing to Agadir Beach. This massive expanse of shoreline is home to numerous 5* hotels – perfect for couples – which section off their area so you can experience a truly private day at the beach.

Marrakech luxury holidays take a somewhat alternative angle. There’s no beach here, but what they do have is a fantastic one-of-a-kind market selling all sorts of things from carpets, spices, kaftans and raffia bags. Another must see in Marrakech is the blue Art Deco villa and gardens of Jardin Majorelle, owned by fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. This stunning garden is full of flora from around the world, with cacti, bamboo, water lily pools and several species of birds.
