3 NIGHTS in Marrakech

Sun, souks and sensorial splendors

The Red City of Marrakech – with its rose-hued walls, history and modern creativity – is an intoxicating blend of ancient tradition and international influence. Visit the Yves Saint Laurent Museum and wander the serene Majorelle Gardens, then roam the Medina’s winding alleys, rich in scents, sounds and colorful sights. As evening falls, enjoy a sunset “tasting walk” through Jemaa El Fna Square, followed by cocktails on a rooftop terrace overlooking the city glow. Boutique shops showcase new-generation artisans, who reimagine traditional craftsmanship as contemporary designs.

Accommodation options in Marrakech are fabulous and plentiful, from tiny luxury riads to world-renowned resorts. Your hotel location could be inside the Medina – awakening your senses and giving you opportunities to walk everywhere – or in the surrounding countryside, with the Atlas Mountains in the distance, and the option to sample the bustling local life in smaller doses.

2 NIGHTS on the Atlas Mountains

High-altitude grandeur and ancient village life

Leaving the city behind, the Atlas Mountains offer a slower rhythm. Stay in a secluded retreat hotel surrounded by dramatic scenery. Our favorite properties exude wellness, from spa treatments to stunning gardens, cozy fireplaces and tennis courts. Guided hikes lead through high-altitude Berber villages, where people live much as they have for generations. Along the way, take in sweeping views of terraced valleys, fertile farmland and snow-capped peaks that rise sharply against clear skies.

3 NIGHTS in Fez

The vibrant soul of Morocco

Fall in love with the historic city of Fez. Stay in the heart of the ancient Medina, surrounded by the hum of daily life, where donkey carts share narrow lanes with craftsmen at work. Here, artisans open their workshops to reveal centuries-old traditions of pottery, leather tanning and weaving. The city’s rhythm is immersive and authentic, offering an intimate look into Morocco’s cultural and creative heritage. Our favorite properties in Fez are a collection of riads, traditional homes, and palaces – all built around an open-air courtyard. Many of these are located inside the Medina, giving you an easy and enjoyable way to go out and explore and then return to your private sanctuary.

3 NIGHTS in Tangier

Sea breezy culture

Set at the crossroads of Africa and Europe, Tangier has long been a city of ideas, exchange and intrigue. Overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar, it carries a distinctly coastal energy. Wander along the corniche, explore historic quarters shaped by centuries of global influence, and enjoy cafés where the pace matches the movement of the sea. Mansions have been lovingly restored into boutique hotels that exude design and glamor.  Sip your morning cappuccino with palm tree-lined ocean-views in the distance. Tangier offers a graceful finale to the journey.
