With it's own brand of exotic glamour, unique style and sophisticated luxury, Morocco is most definitely 'having a moment'.  It is the ultimate 'luxe for less' destination, offering extravagantly luxurious and world-renowned Riads, Villas and Hotels, but for a fraction of the price of some European destinations. 

This captivating country, with its year-round climate, offers respite from a European winter and a beautifully hot summer, as well as the opportunity to experience somewhere totally different, but all just a 3 hour flight from the UK.

The fact that Morocco appeals to fashionistas, hedonists, romantics and families alike speaks of the sheer variety Morocco has to offer.  From bustling cities that assault your senses, to breathtaking mountain ranges, the arid beauty of the desert and picturesque coastal resorts with pristine beaches, Morocco has something to offer everyone.  However, the real beauty is that Morocco is so compact and accessible, that you can experience some or all of the different aspects to this fascinating country all in one trip.

Within easy reach of Marrakesh, the Atlas Mountains offer not only some of the most stunning scenery in Morocco, but a huge variety of activites, such as amazing mountain trekking (available for all abilities), to mountain biking and horse and camel trekking.  The local Berber people are incredibly warm, welcoming people and a visit to a Berber village or local market is a must.
