15 Best Beach Resorts in Morocco

byCassandra Angelie
The daydream-worthy North African country of Morocco is a fascinating destination for a romantic honeymoon or family vacation, whether you are looking to just lounge at a resort by the beach, experience the vibrant cities and culture, or trek through the Atlas Mountains.

If the beach is at the top of your list, however, Morocco is home to hundreds of kilometers of coastline on the Atlantic Ocean in the west and the Mediterranean Sea to the north. And there are resorts for all budgets and traveling styles to go along with these gorgeous stretches of coastline, from M'Diq Beach on the Mediterranean coast about 1.5 hours from Tangier to Agadir Beach and environs on the Atlantic coast.

There is also Saidia Beach, which is a 14-kilometer-long beauty on the Mediterranean, near the border with Algeria, which is considered one of the country's best. You'll also find some all-inclusive resorts.

Plan your next vacation with our list of the best beach resorts in Morocco.
