Marrakech, with its lively souks, vibrant colors, and captivating gardens, offers a unique experience for families with toddlers. We spent over two weeks in Morocco with our family, and we made one mistake: staying in the Medina with our 1.5 + 3.5 year old boys. To ensure a serene escape, we recommend a stay outside of the bustling and chaotic Medina.
Below are travel tips, the best luxury hotels with kids’ clubs, and family-friendly activities to make your Marrakech experience truly magical.

A Few Travel Tips:
There are some basic rules you want to know for your trip to Marrakech with little ones.
Choose Accommodations Outside the Medina: Opt for accommodations outside the Medina that provide a more relaxed environment for your family. The bustling atmosphere within the Medina will be overwhelming for little ones. Staying in a quieter area ensures a peaceful retreat after a long day of exploration.
Stroller-Friendly Exploration: Select a lightweight and easily foldable stroller for comfortable navigation across Marrakech’s diverse terrain. Outside the Medina, you’ll find smoother paths for stroller-friendly walks. We love our Doona for little ones.
Cultural Awareness: Immerse your toddlers in the local culture by explaining the significance of markets, traditional clothing, and greetings. This cultural understanding enhances their experience in Marrakech.
