Take advantage of Easyjet's new direct flights from Luton to Essaouira to enjoy a long weekend break in this seaside city. Essaouira enjoys a mild climate and though it can be windy, you can expect sunshine and temperatures of around 20c in Dec. I've been before at this time of year and it was lovely. It's a chilled town with a lovely souk, beach and port and without the big hustle of Marrakech.
Combine it with B&B in a double room in Dar Latigeo, rated 84 on Trivago for £7.50pppn/ £15 per night per room. So £75 each for a long weekend all in. Taxis between the airport and town are 150DH each way (less than £15).
Flight details: Sat 5 Dec, dep LTN 07.10, arr ESU 10.50. Return Tue 8 Dec, dep ESU 16.20, arrive LTN 19.55
Hotel details: plenty of choices but Dar Latigeo is available with free cancellation for £15 per room per night on these dates at hotels.com. Don't forget to go via quidco/ topcashback to save, or use a voucher.
Other dates available at good prices too. Personally, I am going on 28 November for three nights at £38 and we are staying in Dar Sabon for a few pounds extra.

It's the perfect country to visit as a young family. We traveled the whole country by campervan 2 years ago with our 2 year old. We found it felt as safe as most of Europe. The people are generally friendlier they love kids. Marrakech is fine with a little one we staged in the centre and explored the Medina and the stinking tanneries with our daughter she loved it. It's a fantastic city don't let anyone put you off. Some people just love to worry. Enjoy :smiley:

How is Marrakech please? I just found flight from bristol to marrakech for £117 for 2 adults and one toddler (2 years old) and I thought it is really cheap but not sure is that a nice place to visit? Thanks

It's probably the last place I would want to take a toddler to be honest. I stayed in the Medina (the central medieval walled area) in a beautiful riad (massive townhouse with an open air courtyard) so it would probably be different if you stayed in the outskirts but then you could be staying anywhere.. The issue in the Medina is that there are very few streets and mainly tiny alleyways. Not a problem until you realise Morrocans in Marrakech LOVE their mopeds. THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS OF MOPEDS (months on, I still have a nervous twitch when I hear a moped engine). All trying to go up and down and across the same tiny maze-like alleyways as you and thousands of other pedestrians\donkeys\handcart pushers. You'll get hassled in the souks by traders selling you everything under the sun, hassled anywhere from the general public trying to give you directions and expecting payment, I expected that but for me, if I had a toddler, it would mean I wouldn't stay in or visit the Medina as it would be too much hassle getting around. The crowds as well in the souks (markets) would put me off as well if I had a small child.

I go there every year, love it! And if you're taking a toddler doesn't mean don't go. I would recommend staying at a resort near the Atlas Mountains they're family friendly and have activities for kids. I stay in the medina area because I go with adults. Love the hustle and bustle and the Moroccan people are so friendly

Essaouira is fantastic. If you're near Luton this is a fantastic deal. Book one of the beautiful Riads in the ancient Medina. And don't forget to go to the Bob Marley shop :wink:

hi, which are these resorts that you mention? are they like all inclusive with stuff to do for the kids? any names or recommendations? Ive been to Marrakech and essauiora with the OH and loved it. definitely want to take the kids but need things for them to do so they are entertained.
essaioura is so chilled out, lazing by the beach, going to the fish market, picking your fresh food and getting it cooked in the restaurant next door...great memories.

its very hussle and bussle but I never once felt in fear of my safety, even when walking back from the square well past midnight to the my accommodation which was a riad within the maze of alley ways. yeah, people are trying to sell you stuff but its just business. smile and walk by.

When staying in Marrakesh never stay near the Medina or city Centre! I book this 5* on the outskirts and it was very peaceful and beautiful

'Some people just love to worry'.???'
If you were happy walking a toddler around the Medina in Marrakech, I think you must have been partaking in the goods predominately produced in the North of the country.

im the opposite. but it depends what you want froma holiday. I loved being on the doorstep to the medina, yet you'd never know we stayed so close. The Riad was about 5 minutes from the square but when you got to the riad, it was so peaceful and quiet.
whereas we met a couple who were staying on the outskirts and they said they made a mistake as everytime they wanted to come to the square, they had to get a taxi. horses for courses.

looks like the deal is very popular going by the easyjet booking info :laughing:

I also personally don't see the point of going to Marrakech and staying outside the Medina. You could be anywhere if you're staying in some modern hotel on the outskirts.The riads in the medieval centre have to be seen to be believed. Ours had a roof terrace with a plunge pool. It was amazing. However, as mentioned, central Marrakech is the last place on Earth I would take a toddler or a small child to.
Baghdad? OK, as long as we take the big buggy and plenty of bottled water.
Kabul? If we must but lets make sure we get a guide and wrap little Theodore up warm as its get cold at night.
Mogadishu? Fine but let's be careful at night and bring the stock of nappies as supplies are limited there.
Marrakech? No ducking way. MOPED HELL! And no, my wife doesnt want any sodding henna tattoos!

If you are interested in Marrakech I put this up 2 weeks ago, lots of tips and info there, and still valid (£105 for 3 nights including flights, B&B and airport pick-up):
A great break at a great riad with some of the best hosting from the staff I've experienced (I've been twice) and at amazing prices now thanks to Ryanair.
pffffft

Allegedly then Essaouira is where Jimi Hendrix got "inspired" whilst sitting on the beach and wrote castles made of sand.
