Rustic, rose-hued houses, glinting golden sand, a medley of old meets new... that’s Morocco holidays for you. As we’ve added the destination to our map for October 2024 onwards, we felt it only right to show you around – and that includes a walk through the five-star Fairmont Taghazout Bay, which is in our esteemed Indulgent Escapes portfolio.

So whether you’re seeking a serene stay or something more active, you’ll soon see Morocco will be your oyster...

Marvellous Morocco

If Morocco appeals, you’ll find two regions to choose from with us: the Agadir Area and Marrakech. The latter will entice city dwellers hunting for historical and cultural marvels – and you’ll have no problem finding them among the gardens, souk stalls and tile-clad riads of Marrakech.

Get acquainted with the Agadir Area

Meanwhile, down the coast is an astonishing area called Agadir, home to the resorts of Taghazout and Imi Ouaddar. This is very much the beach haven of the country, where North African fare and a go-slow ambience dictate the pace of mealtimes. It’s also where surfers flock to enjoy the spoils of the windy water sports scene. The awe-inspiring landscapes from further inland have draped their way down here, so we recommend an afternoon mint tea and a people-watch to get your bearings in this sun-speckled postcode.

Where to stay...

Fairmont Taghazout Bay

When only the five-star treatment will do, the lavish Fairmont Taghazout Bay will reel you in. Its calming 146 rooms, suites and villas really are just the beginning of the marble-tiled magic of these restful spaces. From golf to retail therapy, there's something for everyone, so you can truly tailor your retreat to suit you. Did we mention the surfing and boxing classes available?

Naturally, the hotel is blessed with pools you can dip into or lounge beside, with the beach just ahead. Meanwhile, the healing, restorative spa is also on hand for R&R, alongside wellness therapies and yoga classes.

If entertainment is up your street, you’ll be enthralled by the events held at the oceanfront conference centre, so keep an eye on the calendar. Then when all’s said and done, what’s left is to relish the fantastic dining offerings in the two on-site restaurants. Your taste buds are encouraged to satisfy their cravings through ultra-fresh Japanese innovations, as well as luxurious takes on surf and turf classics. Whether it’s wine or whisky, signature tipples of choice will be poured for your pleasure.

So, if you’re ready to experience Morocco with Indulgent Escapes, you’re in for a treat.
