Morocco for couples

Morocco is a wonderful place for a romantic break

A holiday in Morocco may not be the first thing you think of when you're considering a romantic break, but this stunning north African country is the ideal place for a getaway for two. One of the best things about Morocco is the variety on offer here, with so much to see and experience. Whether you and your partner are looking for amazing beaches, fascinating history, vibrant culture, luxurious hotels or a combination of all of these, you can tailor your holiday in Morocco to suit you. There's something truly romantic about walking hand in hand, wandering the narrow streets of the souks and medinas that you'll find in many of the country's historic cities, or watching the sunset from one of the gorgeous beaches.

If you've got romance in mind, make sure you book a luxurious hotel in Morocco for your break - there are some wonderful, intimate riads (traditional Moroccan guesthouses) that are ideal if you want a bit of seclusion and a taste of the local culture all rolled into one.
 

Romance in the sun

Morocco has a largely Mediterranean climate, with plenty of sunshine particularly in the summer. In fact, Agadir, which is on the coast, experiences some 300 days of sun every year - so you're almost guaranteed good weather if you make this a stop on your romantic getaway. It's actually a brilliant place for couples for visit, as there are few better things to do with your loved one than take a stroll along a golden beach before settling down to watch the sunset.

Delving into at least one of Morocco's cities is another must for couples keen to explore every side of the country together, with Marrakech being one of the most popular places to discover. The fantastic thing about this city is its contrast between old and new - the medina and Djemaa el Fna Square feel like they've come out of the pages of an Arabian Nights story, while the upmarket Gueliz district has a strong colonial feel. It was created by the French when they occupied the nation and is home to some stunning buildings and attractions, such as the charming Majorelle Gardens.

Casablanca, which is best known for its association with the Hollywood movie of the same name, is another excellent spot for couples in search of romance. Its beach is beautiful, there's a chic marina and various pavement cafes where you can soak up the atmosphere and enjoy each other's company.
