Couple questions: Honeymoon planning

What does a 7-day Morocco honeymoon look like?

Our 7-day honeymoon itinerary uses three bases: a palace riad in Marrakech, a mountain kasbah in the High Atlas, and a sea-view riad in Essaouira. Transfers are short and scenic rather than long road days. It is built for romance without long drives. If you want the Sahara as well, ten days is the better fit.

The short answer

In more detail

Days one to three are in Marrakech. A private airport welcome leads to a candlelit courtyard dinner. Then come a private guide for the souks, the Bahia Palace and the Secret Garden, an afternoon couples' hammam, Jardin Majorelle and the YSL museum, and a private rooftop dinner above the medina.

Days four and five are in the High Atlas, at a mountain kasbah below Jbel Toubkal. There is an afternoon at the spa, a gentle guided walk through Berber villages and walnut groves, lunch at a village home, and a terrace dinner as the peaks turn pink.

Days six and seven are on the Atlantic at Essaouira, with sunset on the Skala ramparts, seafood above the harbour, and a slow last morning by the sea before the transfer home. The whole week is private, with your own chauffeur-guide and no shared groups.
