Overview

Five private days pairing the High Atlas with the Atlantic in true luxe style: a mountain kasbah retreat below Toubkal, the oyster lagoon of Oualidia, and Essaouira's sea-walls — with an optional private helicopter flight over the Atlas ridge.

This is Morocco's two finest landscapes — the High Atlas and the Atlantic coast — joined in a short, indulgent journey for those with limited time and no appetite for compromise. You begin in a serene mountain kasbah below Jbel Toubkal, with spa treatments, terrace dinners and gentle guided walks through Berber villages and walnut groves.

Then you move to the water: the tranquil oyster lagoon of Oualidia for a deck lunch and a sea-view suite, and the windswept fortified port of Essaouira with its ramparts and seafood. The signature option is a private Airbus H125 helicopter that lifts from the Asni helipad, crosses the Toubkal ridge and lands beside the Oualidia lagoon — turning a four-hour drive into a thirty-minute flight over some of the most cinematic terrain on earth.

Whether by chauffeur or by air, every stay is hand-picked, every transfer private, and the pace built entirely around you.

Frequently asked

Questions about this tour.

Is "Atlas & Atlantic Luxe" private or a group tour?

100% private. Just you and the people you book with — your own driver, vehicle and pace from start to finish. We never pool travellers.

Can I change the dates or itinerary?

Yes. Every itinerary is a starting point. Add a day, swap a riad, change the start city — we'll re-quote in 24 hours and lock the price in writing before any deposit.

How fit do I need to be?

Moderate. Expect 2–4 hours of light walking per day and one or two longer driving days. We pace days carefully and stop often.

When should I book?

For high season (Oct–Apr) and any trip involving the Sahara or hot-air balloon, book 8–12 weeks ahead. Last-minute (under 14 days) is usually still possible with a phone call.

How does the helicopter option work?

On day three, instead of the chauffeured drive, a private Airbus H125 lifts from the Asni helipad, crosses the Toubkal ridge and the Marrakech plain, and lands beside the Oualidia lagoon — about thirty minutes of cinematic flying. It seats up to four guests with a pilot and is quoted on request as an add-on.
