Discover a hidden oasis in Marrakech this Valentine’s Day

This February, Dar les Cigognes in Marrakech is offering a special Valentines package for those wanting to escape for a romantic break. The riad boasts eleven individually designed rooms featuring deep traditional baths, cool stone floors and soft atmospheric lighting.

Each room has a unique decorative touch and is set around two pretty courtyards with fragrant orange blossom, palm trees and a central fountain decorated with rose petals.

With an abundance of Islamic palaces, storytellers, and snake charmers, Marrakech is an enchanting city and the perfect destination for a mystical romantic break this Valentines.

Visitors can ride donkey-drawn carts, dodge the screeching motorbikes and pass by groups of jellaba-attired men sipping sweet mint tea. Beyond this vibrant bustle and hidden behind an unassuming door, lies a secret oasis of luxury and calm at Dar les Cigognes, a 17th century merchant's home that has since been restored as a charming boutique riad.

At sunset, guests can relax with a drink on the rooftop terrace and observe the silhouettes of the cigognes or storks perched in their nests on the high walls of the Royal Palace opposite.

Simpson’s is offering a three night Valentines package to Dar les Cigognes for £535 per person including a complimentary hammam and massage, flights from London, Bristol or Manchester (subject to availability) and possible supplement, accommodation on B&B basis and private transfers. Four nights costs from £615 per person including all of the above and a complimentary candlelit meal for two. Both offers are valid between 12th and 28th February and are based on two people sharing.
