Morocco has two long windows. Mid-September to mid-November is our favourite — the medinas exhale after summer, the desert nights are cool enough for a blanket, and the High Atlas is still walkable above 2,500 metres. March to early May is the second — wildflowers in the Ourika valley, almond blossom in the Anti-Atlas, warm coastlines from Essaouira to Oualidia.
On a first journey we usually suggest three nights in Marrakech, two nights in the desert via the Tizi n'Tichka pass, then back through the Ourika or Asni valleys for a final mountain hammam. Fes deserves its own trip — we would not fold it into a single week.
A bespoke honeymoon unfolds at a pace built entirely around you — a palace-riad suite with its own plunge pool, a private driver-guide who becomes a friend, one extraordinary night beneath the Sahara stars. We never sell from a menu; we compose, and we tell you honestly what is worth doing.
