Safe sheltered coves, rock pools, pony rides and a private pool at home: why Mirleft is one of the easiest places in Morocco for a family holiday.
Mirleft is calm, friendly and small enough that children feel at home within a day. There are no big roads to cross to reach the beach, no crowds, and the people are famously welcoming to families. Here's our guide to a relaxed family holiday in Mirleft.
Kid-friendly beaches
Aftas in Mirleft is a sheltered bay that is usually the calmest place to play in the water. On the long beach at Tamelalt, low tide reveals rock pools full of crabs, anemones and tiny fish: bring a bucket and a net. Always stay close: the Atlantic can be strong even in the shallows. Our ocean swimming guide explains tides and currents.
Activities for every age
Toddlers: sandcastles at low tide, pool time and sunset walks.
Children: pony or horse rides on the beach, rock-pooling, a first surf lesson on small summer waves.
Teenagers: surf lessons, a buggy tour, a tandem paragliding flight (depending on age and weight) and cliff-top walks.
Everyone: a day trip to the red arch at Legzira, and the silver souk in Tiznit.
Food the whole family will like
Moroccan food is very child-friendly: grilled chicken, kefta, couscous, fresh bread, omelettes, fruit and freshly squeezed orange juice. In Mirleft you'll find bakeries, fruit stalls and grocers for the villa kitchen. A full kitchen means you can keep familiar meals and routines when little ones need them.
Practical tips for families
Sun: the breeze hides how strong the sun is. Use high-factor sun cream, hats and UV tops.
Getting here: about two hours by car from Agadir airport. We can arrange a paid airport transfer; ask about child seats.
Best time: spring and autumn are mild and quiet; July and August are lively with Moroccan families on holiday.
Health: pharmacies in Mirleft and Tiznit are well stocked; drink bottled water.
Why a villa makes family holidays easier
A private pool for afternoon naps and swims, separate bedrooms, a kitchen and a terrace where adults can relax while the children play. Our Club Evasion villas are about 50 metres from Tamelalt Beach with gardens and a tennis court on the resort, and DreamCatcher Kasbah in Mirleft has a lush courtyard around its pool. Find the right villa for your family.
