Our secret spots to spend a charming holiday in Morocco

A dreamy night in a palace

The marocMaroc product line holds a special place in some of the country's finest palaces. Why not stay there for a charming break? Among them, the Sahrai Fez with its commanding view of the Arab world's largest medina, the Michlifen Resort in Ifrane boasting a grandiose 3,500 m2 spa or the Conrad Rabat Arzana with its breathtaking ocean views. Our favorite? The Royal Mansour of Marrakech, where you can indulge in wonderful experiences, much like the marocMaroc Hammam treatment collection: Évasion ("Escape"), Temps pour soi ("Self Care") or Lumière sur le corps ("Light On The Body"). A pure delight.

The dream of an oasis

For an otherworldly experience, the Atlas desert is the place to be, and more precisely Agafay. There, you'll want to visit  Caravan Agafay by Habitas. Not far from Marrakech, a complete change of scenery awaits you at Berber Lodge, inspired by traditional Berber accommodation. And if you'd rather experience the delights of mountainous areas, why not spend a few nights at the Kasbah Bab Ourika, where you'll receive the warmest of welcomes? You'll be able to taste Morocco's ancestral culinary flavors while enjoying a hilly, mineral universe.

A city dressed in blue

Chefchaouen is the perfect place to truly take time out. Nestled in the Rif Mountains in the northwest of the country, the whole city is made up of buildings painted in various shades of blue. There are leatherwork and weaving workshops, along with a fortress and a dungeon – a true feast for the eyes.

A surfing session

Crave the sea for a more energetic holiday season? Morocco boasts sublime beaches such as Oualidia, Tetouan, or Legzira's amber-ochre cliffs. You'll also find kitesurfing spots for novices and experts alike at Dakhla, as well as surfing areas like the ones at Bouznika, a fishing village near Rabat.

A delightful stroll

Let's head for Marrakech, for a day or more. For a veggie lunch in the shade of lemon trees, La Famille is the place to be. We also go there to unearth handcrafted decorative wicker or wood-crafted objects, as well as carefully selected jewelry. This concept-store is a must in Marrakech.

Recently restored, Le Jardin Secret spans over 400 years, having hosted some of the country's prominent figures before opening its doors to the public in 2016. Today, you are free to wander along paths lined with exotic flora designed by landscape architect Tom Stuart-Smith. This is your opportunity to dive into the heart of Arab-Andalusian and Moroccan art, architecture, and craftsmanship.

Time for shopping? Hidden in a quiet street of the lively Sidi Ghanem district, the Maison Sarayan is a haven of peace offering freshly cooked food, as well as a place to dream up a brand-new home interior... We love its boutique designed like a home with its oversized sofas, thrifted finds, tableware sets... Everything you need is in store.

At nightfall, let’s go to an authentic restaurant. In Morocco, cooking is the territory of the "dadas", housemaids who pass down their recipes from generation to generation. At Sahbi Sahbi, you can savor these precious dishes in a magnificent setting.
