Morocco for a Mini-Moon? Yes Please!

What is a mini moon?

For starters, what is a mini moon? A mini moon is just a short getaway for the two of you just after your wedding – simply, a shorter honeymoon!

With so many things to do when it comes to planning a wedding, it can be A, very stressful and B, very costly, especially when trying to sort out a honeymoon too. You’ve got spreadsheets coming out of your ears, all your family and friends asking questions, and a calendar filled with upcoming payments, to have a cheaper and easier to organise mini moon might be just the thing you need.

In recent years, it has become increasingly popular for couples to postpone their ‘flashy’ honeymoon for a later date, and opt for a mini moon just after they’ve said “I do”.

Why should you pick Morocco for your mini moon?

You might have tons of mini moon ideas, after all, the world is your oyster – but Morocco should certainly be at the top. It’s two most popular resorts offer a magical retreat, whether you’re looking for some culture and adventure or just somewhere to stretch out on the beach and enjoy your husband or wife’s company. The flight time is around 3 hours so you could be in the thick of all that Morocco holidays have to offer in no time – and let’s not forget the bang for your buck that you’ll get in Morocco. Yet another highlight of Morocco is the year round beaming sunshine, your mini moon will always be at the perfect time.

Marrakech, often referred to as the mystical city, is definitely a mini moon destination, and will have you hooked the minute you arrive. There’s plenty to get stuck into in Marrakech, and a visit to Jemma El Fna Square must be on your to do list. By day you will see a few stalls dotted about and some mesmerising street entertainers, but once night falls this square comes alive with market traders, delicious street food, even more entertainers and of course, a few snake charmers. A romantic way to take in all the Medina has to offer is a ride in a horse drawn carriage.

Agadir is Morocco’s coastal resort which boasts a long promenade with golden sands, modern hotels and a particularly romantic marina. All Inclusive holidays in Morocco are top tier in Agadir, so it really makes the perfect place for some much needed R&R with your other half after a potentially, long and stressful period of wedding planning.
