A golden weekend with Travel Counsellors in Morocco's Capital

13 October 2025

Travelling with Travel Counsellors is always about so much more than just seeing new places - it’s about connection, learning, and genuine enjoyment, all underpinned by expert planning and care. This September, a group of Travel Counsellors spent a long weekend in Rabat, Morocco. From the moment the group landed in Casablanca, the warmth of Moroccan hospitality was matched only by the sunshine that set the tone for three days filled with laughter, camaraderie, and discovery.

A golden weekend with Travel Counsellors in Morocco's Capital

A warm welcome at Conrad Rabat Arzana

Travel Counsellors were treated to a special welcome at the Conrad Rabat Arzana - a masterclass in modern luxury on the Harhoura coastline. From the first sunset drinks by the pool and Café del Mar, it’s an invitation to truly unwind. The setting, complete with sweeping Atlantic views, offered the ideal backdrop for reconnecting, sharing stories, and beginning a weekend of celebration.

Exploring Rabat together

Saturday was all about discovery and connection, with a treasure hunt through the centre of Rabat organised by Intrepid Travel. Divided into lively teams, the Travel Counsellors explored the city’s highlights - from the Kasbah of the Udayas to the Chellah Necropolis and Hassan Tower - solving clues, tackling quiz questions, and sharing plenty of laughs along the way.

“Rabat was a fantastic destination, interacting with fellow Travel Counsellors and enjoying the Intrepid tour together was excellent,” shared Claire. “We loved learning about the history in a fun quiz activity, and enjoyed a great evening among friends (old and new) overlooking the river, soaking in the buzz of the city.”

Nikki echoed this sentiment: “There’s truly nothing like bringing together a group of like-minded individuals in a vibrant, foreign setting. Saturday took us to the heart of Rabat, where we dove into a fun and engaging scavenger hunt across the city. The evening highlight? Wandering through the winding souks, Google Maps in hand (and still going the wrong way!), enjoying those serendipitous moments of getting a little lost, and having the best conversations with each other."

Cooking and connection

Sunday brought everyone together for a taste of Morocco, as Travel Counsellors gathered on the Aquamarine Terrace for a cooking demonstration led by the hotel's expert chefs. Preparing traditional tagines and briouates tested skills and brought plenty of laughter to the group. As Claire shared: “Trying our hands at Moroccan cooking was challenging, but also comical—thankfully the hotel’s expert chefs were able to deliver lunch at their usual high standards.”

Others opted to unwind by the pool, making the most of the relaxed atmosphere and attentive service. Whether immersed in culinary discovery or soaking up the sunshine, every guest enjoyed a day crafted just for them.

Celebration at La Brise

The weekend culminated in a dinner at La Brise, the hotel’s elegant terrace restaurant overlooking the Atlantic. Here, the laid-back sophistication of the setting matched the sense of achievement in the room. Travel Counsellors enjoyed a delicious three-course meal, listened to a live band, and shared their favourite moments form a wonderful trip.

Experience boutique beachfront living in Mexico

14 August 2026

For those who like their Caribbean escape with a little more character, The Fives Oceanfront offers boutique luxury right on the beachfront in Puerto Morelos. This former fishing village has kept a noticeably slower pace than some of the Riviera Maya’s larger resorts, with local restaurants, small shops, and the town’s leaning lighthouse all within easy reach. Back at the hotel, the atmosphere is equally laid-back, with contemporary design, plenty of space to switch off, and the Caribbean Sea taking centre stage.

Experience the adventurous side of Turks and Caicos

14 August 2026

This corner of the Caribbean has all the ingredients for an easy Caribbean escape, from the powder-soft sands of Grace Bay to brilliantly clear water made for long afternoons by the sea. But spend a little more time here, and there’s another side to the islands worth exploring. You can kayak through mangroves, snorkel over coral reefs, venture across to North and Middle Caicos, and seek out local food and music back on Providenciales. Better still, these experiences can easily sit alongside slower beach days, giving you a holiday that feels adventurous without needing to be action-packed from morning to night.

Discover the Dolomites, Italy's ultimate mountain escape

14 August 2026

There is another side to Italy beyond its famous cities, coastlines, and lakes. In the north of the country, the Dolomites rise dramatically above alpine meadows, forested valleys, and villages where Italian, Austrian, and Ladin influences come together. Recognised by UNESCO for their exceptional natural beauty and geology, these mountains are made for anyone wanting to spend their days outdoors without giving up the things Italy does so well: beautiful places to stay, long lunches, and excellent wine. Whether you're an experienced hiker or simply like the idea of cable-car rides, gentle walks, and lunch in a mountain hut, here's how to experience the Dolomites your way.
