FAQs
Yes! Many resorts cater specifically to families, and children often find the colourful markets, animals, and outdoor activities exciting and engaging.
Spring and autumn offer warm, pleasant weather ideal for exploring. Winter is mild and sunny, while summer can be very hot – best enjoyed at a resort with plenty of pool time.
Lightweight, breathable clothing is ideal. While Morocco is welcoming, modest clothing (covered shoulders and longer skirts/shorts) is appreciated in cultural areas.
Jardin Majorelle, camel rides, the Palmeraie, Bahia Palace, Le Jardin Secret, horse-drawn carriage rides, and exploring the Medina are all great family activities. Waterparks and resort pools are ideal for downtime.
Marrakech is generally safe in tourist areas. The Medina is busy, so keeping children close and avoiding narrow side streets at night is advised.

This is a great family holiday option. There are a variety of themed onsite hotels at Portaventura and also peripheral hotels that often include tickets.
Comment “Spain” and I’ll send you a DM with some links. For a lower budget option, look at peripheral hotels. We loved the onsite Colorado creek but it is on the more expensive side of how you can visit.
Links we send are affiliate links. We aren’t asked to post or promote particular places.

The first thing we noticed online is how many “regulars” this place seems to have. People don’t just go once, they return year on year. The best sign of a great place. And after visiting we can see why. Although it is expensive, you get what you pay for. The ease of everything already being covered means the holiday feels like a holiday. We didn’t have to say no to the kids when they wanted to do an activity, they could do whatever they wanted.
To help you with the cost I’ve got you a discount code for £100 off per person! Which is a huge saving for a family. Comment “potters” and I’ll send you the code and more info. You need to book this month for either May bank hol, May half term, or the summer hols.
We were invited for a PR visit but had no pressure to post. I always tell brands that we won’t promote something if we don’t think it’s fab 🫶🏻❤️
