African beaches are on either the Atlantic or Indian Oceans, or even on local freshwater lakes. The pace of life on these beaches is typically slow and steady, allowing you to truly relax and settle into vacation mode.

Without further ado, here’s our roundup of the top 5 beaches on the African continent:

Bazaruto, Mozambique

Great for diving and snorkeling.

Diani, Kenya

Half zoo, half resort.

North Island, Seychelles

Up to par for the likes of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s and George and Amal Clooney’s honeymoons.

Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania

Off the radar, luxury hippie vibes.

Grand Bassam, Ivory Coast

A UNESCO World Heritage Site; terrific resort town with even better local seafood.

Famous Westerners in recent history including but not limited to writers Christopher Isherwood and Paul Bowles, plus designer Yves Saint Laurent, have made Morocco their new homes, and for good reason. The culture is extremely vibrant, the food is abundantly tasteful and uniquely presented, and the textiles are truly second to none in the world.

It’s easy to get lost in the splendor of Marrakesh for days on end, and we truly recommend doing so.

Best time to go:

March/April and October/November are ideal times to visit Marrakesh, as the weather is on the more temperate side and hotel rates drop in the off-season. Be careful if you visit during the holy month of Ramadan, which changes every calendar year, as most eateries will be closed or limited until sundown. Even if certain restaurants or kiosks are open, it’s still a little strange to drink water and nibble while most of the locals observe complete fasting in the daytime.

Where to eat:

Cafe Clock

The Marrakesh outpost of the original Fez location, Cafe Clock is a popular cafe in the Kasbah which is ideal to give your feet some rest from the bustling medina. Cafe Clock hosts special community events across its several floors, including musical events (on Sundays) plus meditation. It’s famous for its camel burger, so if you’re into trying new things, we definitely recommend taking a bite.

Le Jardin

Enjoy traditional Moroccan tea or a coffee at this all-green oasis decorated in the midst of banana leaves, bamboo shoots, and small tortoises slowly making their way near your feet. You can also recharge with a club sandwich or a date smoothie before making your way back to the souk for heavy negotiations with shop owners.

Where to stay:

You have your choice from any of the many gorgeous, authentic riads (guest houses) that can be found across the city. Many riads have an indoor pool that receives sun from a skylight or retractable roof, plus rooftops from which to appreciate the city for a divine sunset and bird’s point of view.

Where to visit:

The souk

Textiles galore.

Le Jardin Majorelle

Gorgeous, vibrant botanical garden previously owned by the late French designer, Yves Saint Laurent.

Where to luxuriate:

La Mamounia

La Mamounia has been deemed both the best spa and best hotel in the world according to several lists over the years. It’s a gorgeous 5-star resort hotel frequented by the rich and famous, and it’s great for people-watching and laying out by the outdoor pool, or hanging inside by the indoor pool which is fit for a king, complete with an opulent bed at its foot.
Tip: Save yourself some money by staying elsewhere yet buying a day pass to La Mamounia for around $120, which enables you pool and gym access plus a three-course lunch.

MoveHub, a website and organization that helps people relocate in their moves abroad, recently conducted a study that compiled data from the World Bank and World Tourism Organization of over 100 countries over the span of a decade to figure out which country’s citizens travel over the most international waters annually.
