Why choose a honeymoon in Morocco?

A honeymoon in Morocco gives you many trips in one: the buzz and colour of Marrakech, quiet nights in the Sahara under a sky full of stars, ocean breezes in Essaouira and the blue lanes of Chefchaouen. Flights from Europe are short, the food is wonderful and every part of the trip can be private. So, you spend your time together, not in a tour group.

Romantic experiences we love

• A private night in the dunes: sleep in a luxury tent with its own bathroom in the Erg Chebbi dunes of Merzouga, with a candlelit dinner and only the two of you watching the stars.
• Sunset camel ride: ride into the sand as the dunes turn orange and red, then climb a dune together for the view.
• A riad in the medina: stay in a beautiful courtyard house in Marrakech or Fes, with rooftop breakfasts and a traditional hammam.
• Hot air balloon over the Atlas: float above the palm groves near Marrakech at sunrise.
• Ocean days in Essaouira: slow walks on the beach and fresh seafood by the harbour.

We can shorten or extend this plan, add Essaouira or Chefchaouen, or upgrade every night to boutique riads and luxury tents. Have a look at our 3-day desert tour from Marrakech for the Sahara part, or customize your honeymoon with us.

Best time for a honeymoon in Morocco

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are ideal, with warm days and comfortable nights in the desert. Winter is sunny and quiet but cold at night in the Sahara. Also, summer is very hot inland, so we plan more time by the coast and in the mountains.
