Morocco: Romance & Adventure in the Sahara

Exotic, mysterious, and endlessly romantic—Morocco is the kind of place where every moment feels like a scene from a love story. From the vibrant medinas of Marrakech to starlit nights in the Sahara Desert, this 10-night journey is designed for couples who want both adventure and intimacy. Expect private riads, palm-fringed oases, luxury desert camps, and moments of pure seclusion where it feels like the world belongs only to you two.

A Romantic Arrival in Marrakech

Your honeymoon begins in Marrakech, where you’ll spend your first night at the enchanting Villa des Orangers. A private afternoon tour will lead you through the souks and the lively Jemaa el Fna square—before retreating to your riad for a candlelit dinner in a courtyard filled with lantern light. The next morning, your private driver-guide joins you for the rest of your adventure, beginning with a journey into the Atlas Mountains. Along the way, you’ll stop at the fortress of Ait Ben Haddou before continuing into the palm groves of Skoura, where Dar Ahlam awaits—your hideaway for the next two nights.

Palm Groves & Rose Valleys

Together, you’ll wander through Skoura’s kasbahs and villages, meeting artisans and sampling rose-infused oils in Kelaa M’Gouna. A romantic hike through the Dades Valley, ending with a picnic just for two, captures the essence of Morocco’s contrasts—rugged landscapes softened by tender details. Evenings bring slow dinners under the stars, reminding you that here, time is yours to savor.

Zagora: Gateway to the Desert

Following the Draa Valley’s sea of palms, you’ll reach Zagora, where your stay at Azalai Desert Lodge blends adventure with nostalgia. Rooms named after explorers set the tone, but your days are filled with intimacy: artisan visits, hidden quarters of the old Mellah, and a sunset picnic above the city, just you and the desert sky.

A Night Beneath the Sahara Stars

From Zagora, the road ends and romance takes over. Travel by 4×4 into the dunes of Erg Chigaga, where your luxury desert camp is waiting. Ride camels at sunset, dine beneath a canopy of stars, and wake to the quietest sunrise you’ve ever shared. This is Morocco at its most intimate—vast, timeless, and unforgettable.

Taroudant: Secluded Elegance

Leaving the desert behind, you’ll journey to Taroudant, where the grand Palais Claudio Bravo offers luxury and seclusion in equal measure. Spend your days exploring souks with a private guide, discovering treasures from Berber silver to antique art, before retreating to the spa or swimming pool with views of the Atlas Mountains. At sunset, climb the ramparts together and let the romance of this hidden city sink in.

Marrakech, One Last Time

Your journey concludes with two final nights back at Villa des Orangers. Between hammam rituals and market strolls, enjoy one last adventure: a vintage WWII sidecar ride through Marrakech. With the city’s colors, scents, and sounds rushing past, it’s the perfect finale to a honeymoon that blends thrill with intimacy.
