Where to StayIn Morocco, "adults-only" usually means 16 and over, and there are only a handful of these resorts. Here is what changes without children, where to find them, and what to check first.
Where to StayA family resort lives or dies on four things: the kids' club, the room, the pool and the drive from the airport. Here is how Morocco's all-inclusive resorts measure up on each.
Where to StayMorocco has four very different beach coasts. Here is how Agadir, Taghazout, Essaouira and Dakhla compare on sand, water, wind and season, and the kind of stay each one suits.
Where to StayAgadir is easy to love for a beach break, as long as you pick the right stretch of it. The seafront, Founty, the city center and nearby Taghazout compared, by traveler type.
Where to StayAll-inclusive in Morocco is a real option, but only in three places, and the plan never covers quite everything. Here is what you get, what you pay extra for, and where to book it.
ItinerariesAndalusia first, one hour on the water from Tarifa, then a Moroccan leg of four to six days that ends where the flights home leave. The order, the crossing and the module, ready to drop into your plan.
ItinerariesHow far children can ride in a day decides the whole trip. Here is a Morocco family itinerary built around that number, age by age.
ItinerariesTwelve days is the first length where Morocco needs no sacrifice: the coast, an Atlas walk, the Sahara, Fes and the blue town, with a free half day about every three days.
ItinerariesLand in Casablanca, fly home from Marrakech, and never drive the same road twice. Eight days, a new bed most nights, and an honest list of what this pace leaves out.
ItinerariesFive days is enough for Marrakech and one night in the Sahara dunes, as long as you loop back to where you landed. Here is the route, day by day, and the version without the desert.
ItinerariesTen days is when Morocco stops being a race: the sea first, two nights in Marrakech and Fes, the Sahara in between, and the blue town at the end.
ItinerariesFive, seven, eight, ten or twelve days: each length fits one route shape. Pick your number of days first, and the route follows.
ItinerariesOne week, three worlds: the medina of Marrakech, a night in the Sahara dunes and the old city of Fes — in an order that never wastes a day.
Where to StayA pool is not always a pool: some are heated, some are private, some are a plunge pool shared by the whole house. Here is what to check, and when it is worth paying for.
Where to StayA quiet escape, a social trip or your first big journey together: each kind of couple needs a different area of Marrakech, and a different kind of stay.
Where to StayFive medina riads sorted by budget, the four tests behind the list, and what each riad's own website confirms or leaves out.
Where to StayThe one decision that shapes your whole stay in Marrakech — atmosphere or quiet, riad or hotel — made simple, neighborhood by neighborhood.
