An unforgettable location
Beautiful Marrakech in Morocco became a sought-after tourist destination for those looking for a break from the busy, stressful, formulaic working life thanks to bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones who frequented the area in the 60s and 70s. It became a spiritual destination for people looking for a laid-back, easy-living place that embraced music and free-love. The city of today has retained its historic identity but now also combines the spiritual freedom of the 60s and the party-vibe of the 70s with modern luxury and entertainment. With ample places to pamper yourself with traditional Moroccan treatments as well as a vibrant bar and club scene, Marrakech offers many great options for a stag weekend with a little more class than most.
