Morocco offers a wide variety of accommodation choices for Muslim families. Choose from resort style halal-friendly hotels, exclusive villas or riad style hotels.
There are many alcohol-free or ‘dry’ hotels available, which only serve halal food. There are also a number of hotels such as Villa Koutoubia and the Grand Mogador Tanger Sea View & Spa which offer dedicated swimming pools for women.
Halalbooking offers a good choice of stylish villas and riads which are available to rent exclusively by your family group. Fully-secluded pools in Halalbooking’s villas all offer complete privacy. Self-catering offers more freedom for Muslim families. It is easy to shop for halal food in Morocco and two of the supermarket chains, Marjane and Acima do not sell alcohol.
Riads in Morocco
A riad, which literally means ‘garden’, is a traditional Moroccan house built around a central courtyard, which often has its own small swimming pool. Many riads have been converted to small, authentic hotels.
Staying in a riad is a great choice for a halal-friendly holiday. Riads are small and family-run. Typically they have around five rooms. All of the food served is halal and the vast majority do not serve alcohol. Some riads are available for private hire by your family group, which allows your family to use the swimming pool in complete privacy. Halalbooking offers the opportunity to stay in a riad hotel in the medina of Marrakesh, in Fes, Errachidia and Essaouira.
