The slow honeymoon

Two weeks with almost nothing in the diary. Two long stays, one desert night in the middle, a private cook where it matters, and not one thing that begins before you do.

Day by day

This is our version. Say the word and we'll move, stretch or cut any of it.

DAYS 01–05
arrival only

Marrakech, one riad, five nights

A hammam on day two, the medina on a morning you choose, the Atlas on another, and three days with nothing written down at all.

DAYS 06–07
~7h driving

South, slowly, to the sand

Broken over two days with a night in the Dadès rather than one brutal drive. Dinner cooked for you at camp, laid out in the dunes.

stay · Dadès hotel, then private campmeals · all at campthe night people talk about
DAYS 08–09
~7h driving

Back west, with a stop that earns it

Sunrise on the erg, then the Skoura palmeraie and a night in a garden before the pass.

DAYS 10–14

The coast, and nothing asked of you

Essaouira or a quiet stretch further south — your call once we've talked. Five nights, one hotel, a private chef for two of them.

Tell us what you don't want.

On a honeymoon that's the more useful list. No camels, no early starts, no group anything — say it and we'll write around it.

Questions people ask before enquiring

No. You get the written plan and a price range for your dates with nothing to pay and no card details. Most people ask two or three rounds of questions before deciding — that's normal and welcome.
