Marrakech Luxury Elopement: Three Days of Romance and Adventure

Morning arrival and meeting

After you have arrived at your hotel or riad, you will have an introductory meeting with your wedding coordinator, when you will review the details previously discussed before your flight to Marrakech. The coordinator will confirm the ceremony setup, hair and makeup arrangements, and photography plans, ensuring everything aligns with your vision. This final check-in will provide peace of mind, allowing you to relax and focus on enjoying your time in Marrakech as your special day approaches.

An afternoon of rejuvenation

Before the festivities begin, a traditional hammam experience will be organized for you, cleansing your spirit and rejuvenating your body. Immerse yourself in this ancient ritual that includes cleansing, exfoliation and a soothing massage, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized. The serene atmosphere, aromatic oils and expert care will prepare you for the beautiful journey ahead.

In the evening, as the sun sets, go to Hotel El Fenn’s rooftop — it’s just a short walk from Jemaa El Fna Square, and the stunning view of the Koutoubia Mosque set against the rosy hues of the Atlas Mountains draws a sophisticated crowd in search of the perfect sunset drink. With intimate lounges featuring daybeds, inventive cocktails complemented by delicious tapas and an eclectic soundtrack, this venue offers a captivating atmosphere that enhances the experience. After your meal, take a leisurely stroll through the lively streets, immersing yourself in the sights and sounds of the bustling atmosphere, and embrace the enchanting magic of your surroundings.

Awake to the soft glow of the sun filtering through your riad as excitement builds for the big day ahead. After a leisurely breakfast, your wedding coordinator will guide you in preparing for your special moment.

Morning preparations

You'll be treated to a luxurious experience with expert stylists dedicated to helping you achieve your perfect wedding look. As you prepare for the ceremony, you'll feel the excitement building, knowing that every detail — from hair and makeup to flowers that capture your unique style — will be thoughtfully managed.

An afternoon of serenity

In the afternoon, you and your beloved will embark on a delightful ride to the Agafay Desert in a private vehicle, where the serene beauty of the landscape awaits. Once you arrive at the dunes, take a moment to relax and soak in the stunning views as you enjoy a lovely picnic designed just for the two of you. After unwinding in your cozy private tent, you’ll prepare for the evening celebrations. As the sun begins to set, you’ll set off on a magical camel ride over the undulating dunes, creating unforgettable memories as the golden sands shimmer in the fading light, while a photographer captures these cherished moments against the breathtaking desert backdrop, marking the beginning of this new chapter in your lives.

Your ceremony under the stars

As twilight bathes the landscape in hues of orange and pink, it’s time for your dream ceremony. In an enchanting setting beneath the vast open sky, adorned with flickering lanterns and fragrant flowers, you’ll stand hand in hand, feeling the essence of the love that binds you.

With your officiant leading the ceremony, you'll exchange heartfelt vows — promises that reflect the love you share. As you seal your vows with a kiss, the desert celebrates your union with twinkling stars above and a gentle breeze whispering sweet nothings.

After the ceremony, as the last notes of your vows fade into the evening air, you’ll find yourself enveloped in a moment of pure magic. Under the vast, star-studded sky, you'll sit down to a sumptuous feast of local delicacies.

If your flight is scheduled for late evening, you can embark on an unforgettable day trip to the Atlas Mountains by starting with an early breakfast at your hotel or riad before departing for Imlil valley, a charming Berber village nestled against stunning mountain scenery.

After a scenic 1.5 to two-hour drive, you can trek or opt for a mule ride along picturesque trails, immersing yourselves in the breathtaking views of Toubkal National Park. Following this adventure, savor a traditional Berber lunch at a local guesthouse and perhaps visit a Berber home to experience genuine local hospitality.

On your way back to Marrakech, make a stop at the Kasbah Tamadot, Richard Branson’s luxury retreat. Take time to explore the beautiful grounds, enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and perhaps enjoy a coffee or a light snack at the terrace café. Once you've arrived back in Marrakech, take some time to relax, freshen up or explore the local markets for a brief shopping experience before your evening flight.
