7 Nights / 8 Days
What are some things that you expect when traveling to Morocco?
Spices, stories, and souks? Imperial cities filled with lavish riads? Mint tea, camel treks, and nights under the stars in the Sahara Desert?
Well…yes. But Morocco is nothing if not diverse. And should it wish to, it can just as easily craft an unforgettable coastal escape. It can turn Casablanca from a film sensation to a cosmopolitan highlight. Show its bohemian side amid the windswept ramparts and fishing harbors of Essaouira. And hang ten on the waves of Taghazout, before serving up fresh seafood to the whisper of its tides.
Which is what it is about to do with a sea-kissed journey along its dramatic Atlantic coastline.
- 2 Nights in Casablanca

A Special Note from Morocco by Travelive, Country Manager, Khadija Bensouda
"Many visitors associate Morocco with the Sahara or its Imperial Cities, but our coastline offers an entirely different kind of magic. From the artistic charm of Essaouira to the relaxed surf culture of Taghazout, Morocco's Atlantic coast invites travelers to slow down and embrace a gentler rhythm of life. It's a place where fresh sea air, welcoming communities, and spectacular sunsets create memories that stay with you long after your journey ends."
Day 1 | Arrival in Casablanca — Morocco Meets the Ocean
Arriving in Morocco, you may be picturing yourself landing somewhere on the edge of a desert, ready to trace ancient caravan routes like the nomadic tribes of old.
But not today. Today, you’ve come for its waters. And much like Rick Blaine, you shall begin in Casablanca, Morocco’s largest city, where sweeping ocean views, palm-lined promenades, and golden sunsets serve as the perfect gateway to the Atlantic.
Following VIP fast-track assistance at the airport and a private transfer to your luxury hotel, settle in, take a stroll along the iconic Corniche, and let your first evening by the sea set the rhythm for the journey ahead.
Optional Add-Ons
- Private Sunset Cocktail Overlooking the Atlantic — Elevate your first evening in Morocco with a private sunset aperitif overlooking the Atlantic, pairing spectacular ocean views with an equally memorable introduction to the country’s sophisticated coastal lifestyle.
- Gourmet Seafood Dinner at an Oceanfront Restaurant — Discover why Morocco’s coastline is beloved by seafood aficionados with an exceptional dining experience showcasing the freshest local catch and the flavors of the Atlantic.
Day 2 | Atlantic Icons & Coastal Sophistication
Morocco certainly doesn’t need to prove its cinematic virtues, but if there is one place to do it, it’s Casablanca.
And it begins making its case with a private visit to the magnificent Hassan II Mosque, set dramatically above the Atlantic Ocean, where its 689-foot minaret looks out upon boundless waters like a beacon of Moroccan culture and elegance.
Continue uncovering Morocco’s diversity through Casablanca’s cosmopolitan side, one of elegant boulevards, Art Deco façades, and vibrant waterfronts, before enjoying lunch overlooking the ocean.
Then, spend the afternoon at leisure and round out the day with rooftop cocktails, as the Atlantic horizon reminds you that Morocco has been holding out on you all along.
Optional Add-On
- Private Yacht Cruise along Casablanca’s Atlantic Coast — Experience Morocco’s largest city from a different perspective by setting sail along Casablanca’s coastline aboard a private yacht, where ocean views, sea breezes, and a touch of maritime glamour await.
Day 3 | The Atlantic Road to Essaouira
After rolling credits on Casablanca, travel south along the Atlantic coast toward Essaouira, passing fishing villages, sweeping beaches, and the famous Argan forests where goats famously climb the trees (nope, that’s not a typo).
Then, arrive in Essaouira, where ancient Portuguese ramparts guard a UNESCO-listed medina of blue shutters, artisan workshops, bustling fishing harbors, and seaside cafés, all moving to the gentle rhythm of the Atlantic.
Once settled, spend the evening wandering the historic port and discovering why Morocco’s bohemian side feels perfectly at home by the sea.
Optional Add-On
- Sunset Horse Ride along Essaouira’s Beach — Experience one of Morocco’s most spectacular coastlines from horseback as the setting sun casts golden hues across Essaouira’s endless sands and Atlantic waves.
Day 4 | Essaouira — Morocco's Bohemian Coast
If Morocco has an artistic soul, it lives along the coast of Essaouira. And today, you get to embrace its bohemian ways.
Embark on your own search for inspiration through Essaouira’s atmospheric medina, where traditional thuya wood workshops, colorful galleries, fragrant spice stalls, and the bustling fishing port reveal a town shaped as much by creativity as by the Atlantic itself.
Then, pause for a leisurely seafood lunch overlooking the harbor before spending the afternoon entirely at your own pace. Browse boutique shops, stroll along the beach, or simply settle into a seaside café and wonder whether living like this every day really wouldn’t be such a bad idea after all.
Optional Add-On
- Atlantic Cooking Class — Discover the flavors of Morocco’s coastline with a hands-on cooking class centered around freshly caught seafood and traditional coastal recipes, before sitting down to enjoy your creations overlooking the Atlantic.
Day 5 | South to Taghazout — Morocco's Surfing Paradise
Just when you think you’ve seen everything Morocco’s coastline has to offer, it catches another wave. And it brings you to Taghazout, one of Morocco’s most elegant beach escapes.
A picturesque fishing village that has also quietly evolved into one of the world’s top surf destinations, Taghazout has never lost sight of its roots. Here, whitewashed houses tumble toward golden beaches, local fishermen share the shoreline with surfers from around the globe, and life follows the ebb and flow of the Atlantic.
Upon arrival, check into your luxury beachfront resort and spend the remainder of the day entirely at leisure, knowing that another unforgettable Moroccan sunset is waiting to welcome you.
Day 6 | Adventures & Atlantic Freedom
By now, you’ve spent days riding Morocco’s coastal wave. Today, it’s finally time to paddle out across the Atlantic. Whether catching your very own wave during a private surf lesson, gliding along calm waters by paddleboard or kayak, or simply letting beach vibes set the mood, today is all about embracing the ocean on its own terms.
Then, drift back to your beachfront resort for an afternoon of well-earned relaxation, before another spectacular sunset rolls in and reminds you that Morocco’s greatest luxury isn’t found on land or at sea, but somewhere perfectly in between.
Potential Ways to Hang Loose in Taghazout

Day 7 | Hidden Beaches & Atlantic Discovery
It goes without saying that Taghazout offers a sea of adventures….in the most literal of ways. Fortunately, there’s still one more left to discover.
Follow the coast north of Taghazout, where hidden beaches, dramatic cliffs, and breathtaking viewpoints reveal yet another side of Morocco’s shoreline. Along the way, stop in the laid-back village of Imsouane, home to one of the world’s longest surf breaks, before savoring a leisurely seafood lunch overlooking the ocean.
Return to your resort for a relaxing final afternoon, then bid farewell to Morocco’s remarkable coastline with a memorable dinner beside the Atlantic, letting the realization wash over you that you’ve discovered a coastal escape unlike any other.
Optional Add-Ons

Day 8 | Departure — Farewell to a Different Kind of Morocco
So, was Morocco everything you expected? Or perhaps a little more?
Following breakfast, privately transfer to Agadir or Marrakech Airport, carrying with you the memories of a Morocco that may not have been the one you imagined before you arrived, but one that has forever changed your idea of just how much this remarkable destination has to offer.
Because Morocco’s greatest luxury isn’t choosing between its deserts, mountains, imperial cities, or coastline.
It’s discovering that you never have to.
