Your Itinerary
Day 1 - Arrive in Morocco
Arrive at Marrakech airport and within 5 minutes of clearing customs you are on the way to the coast around Essaouira with one of our drivers. The journey itself is a fascinating introduction to Morocco. As you leave Marrakech you will see camels, mules and donkeys, storks nesting in mosque towers, whole families piled on a scooter and the hammada desert with the Atlas looming behind. As you near the coast the landscape softens with hills of olive trees and the Essaouira countryside’s most famous sight – goats grazing in the branches of argan trees…
Day 2-4 - Get Busy
There is so much to do at Rebali and in the area you will struggle to fit it all in and many people choose a week or more just here. A visit into Essaouira is essential for shopping or an evening meal – other favourite family activities include:
– Quad bike tour of the dunes
– Moroccan cooking demonstrations
– Camel trekking on the beach
– Amazing horse riding
– Surfing and kitesurfing lessons
– Visits to the local Berber village for lunch
And if this is too much rushing around send the kids on a tortoise hunt in the Rebali Gardens and relax by the pool or sneak a visit to the spa…
Day 5 - Head to The Atlas
From the coast head back towards Marrakech but stay up in the Atlas Mountains. A spectacular place to stay is Olinto, a luxury Atlas Mountain retreat situated in the Berber heartland of Morocco, a mere 55-minute drive from Marrakech airport.
Day 6 - 7 - Relax!
Stress is not part of the vocabulary. Those who are seeking a simpler relationship to time and pace will find Olinto to be the ideal setting to relax, refresh and recharge.
Switching off and having that much needed downtime goes hand in hand with the spirit at Olinto. Hotel offers are massage treatments, traditional hammam spa and yoga sessions.
The onsite kitchen gardens provide much of the organic produce for our farm-to-table menu. The menu features traditional Moroccan dishes and Mediterranean flavours. Most of the year, dining is enjoyed under a canopy of wisteria. During cooler months, a romantic indoor dining space offers beautiful garden views next to a cosy fireplace.
Day 8 - Revitalised!
Your driver will collect you from Olinto for the short trip back to the airport and your flight home, assuming you manage to get all your souvenirs and memories within your baggage allowance….
