Morocco has a distinctly eastern feel. Arabs and Berbers live side by side, while Spanish and French influences can also be found. From the High Atlas Mountains in the north to the fringes of the Saharan desert in the south, Morocco is full of contrasts. The country offers snow-capped mountains, a rugged coastline, and the expanse of the Sahara with its oasis and palm groves. Sipping mint tea in a riad, exploring the labyrinth of historic medinas and souks, and camel treks make for an unforgettable holiday.

Club Med is proud to offer you two different types of all-inclusive stays in Morocco. Enjoy the coastal landscapes of Club Med Yasmina resort or if you're looking for more of a city experience, discover Club Med Marrakech La Palmeraie resort, near the heat and beat of Marrakech.
Continue your all-inclusive stay in Morocco by the Gibraltar Strait, the length of its shoreline dotted with coves, cliffs and sandy beaches. Enjoy a surfing day at Taghazout Beach or make a stop at the Dades wadi, where the gorges make the perfect backdrop for exceptional hiking.
During your stay in Morocco, let yourself be guided in the souks by shops filled with spices, mint tea and pastries. Let yourself be intoxicated by the fragrances of saffron, cumin and cinnamon; spices that season the fish dishes that are just as much a part of the gastronomic scene in Morocco as are the traditional couscous and tajines. For a moment of tranquility, discover the gentle heat of Moroccan saunas, a key feature of local tradition.
Whether strolling around the souks, discovering the desert or experiencing the rich Bedouin culture, your family stay in Morocco will be steeped in history. From either Club Med Yasmina resort or Club Med Marrakech La Palmeraie resort, set out to explore the Essaouira Medina; a UNESCO World Heritage site of European and Arabic influences. Or why not head towards the former Berber palace of Kasbah de Taourirt?
Your family holiday in Morocco will be the perfect opportunity to share special moments with your kids. Enjoy the beautiful Moroccan beaches and relax by the calm waters. Water parks are also on the programme; visit Oasiria Water Park and enjoy the 20 attractions on offer! Further to the east, set out as a family for an excursion to Merguza, a small Saharan village renowned for being home to the highest sand dunes in Morocco. Or why not share some giggles with the Marrakech Laughter Festival, hosted by Jamel Debbouze?
A place like no other that you’ll discover by climbing the luxuriant Akchour Valley, at the heart of the Talassemtane National Park. 2 hours from Club Med Yasmina resort, take to the hiking trails from the Pont de Dieu (God’s Bridge) at an impressive 25 metres high, to the wondrous waterfall and its natural pool. A life source which streams from a rock which changes from brown, to white, to red, offering an enchanting sight for budding adventurers.
Dominating the country and all of North Africa from its impressive 4167 m altitude, the Djebel Toubkal massif promises to deliver a breathtaking panorama over the High Atlas. During an all-inclusive stay in Morocco, lovers of trekking and high mountains will be enthralled by this wild landscape, accessible at only 85 km from Club Med Marrakech La Palmeraie resort. From the village of Imlil, give yourself a unique climbing challenge whilst discovering Moroccan culture by passing through the sacred village of Sidi Chamharouch.
20 minutes from Club Med Marrakech La Palmeraie resort, lose yourself in the narrow streets of the city's medina. Here are 700 hectares of an urban landscape to explore, where history is brought to life! Take a moment in the souks where your senses are awakened to take in the scents, colours and surrounding bustle. Here is the very heart of the city's craft industry. Leather goods, pottery and rugs are piled high on stalls.
Essaouira (“the well drawn” in Berber) lives up to its name: its Medina is classed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. During an all-inclusive stay in Morocco, wander through the historic part of town: its military architecture was inspired by the work of Vauban. Stroll through the heart of the colourful souks and discover the multitude of fish restaurants which can be found on the squares, as well as the stalls of art craftsmen. Authenticity seasoned with the good sea air!
In the foothills of the Atlas, is Immouzer Valley, or more commonly known as the “Valley of Paradise”. A nickname that is certainly fitting for the high plateau from which waterfalls cascade into luscious vegetation. Enveloped by the fragrances of lavender and thyme, your hike across the Honey Route will lead you to one of the natural pools forming a belt across the Win-Timoudine site and its astonishing underground lakes.
