Adventure in Morocco: Fly by Helicoper to Essaouira from the Royal Mansour

Leave it to the Royal Mansour, the opulent Marrakech resort owned by the King of Morocco, to organize the ultimate adventure to the oceanfront city of Essaouira. Long considered one of the best anchorages of the Moroccan coast, Essaouira is an ancient port once settled by the Carthaginians, Romans, and then Portuguese. It's a marvelous mixmash of archeological treasures-- its medina is a UNESCO World Heritage listed site-- in a beautiful setting. The Royal Mansour Marrakech, home to a restaurant by Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alléno, will fly you by helicopter to Essaouira where you'll be driven to the town of Ounagha for a wine tasting at "Val d’Argan," a French-owned winery. To cap off a dazzling day, you'll be served an extravagant lobster dinner under a Bedouin tent on the beach at Sidi Kaouki.

What's Hot: The Four Seasons Hotel Marrakech Set to Open Soon

In less than a month, Four Seasons' highly anticipated new luxury resort will open its doors in Marrakech. Surrounded by 40 acres of Moorish gardens, the Four Seasons Hotel Marrakech promises to be a sublime spa destination- with sprawling resort facilities in a rose-colored, medina-inspired complex. The spa itself boasts 15 swank treatment rooms, traditional hammams, pools, and a state-of-the-art fitness facility. And that's not all. Guests can play tennis on two clay courts, lounge in a cabana by the pool (equipped with free Internet and plenty of good reading material), and tuck into tempting tagines at Brasserie du Sud. All guest rooms have a private balcony with views over the snow-covered Atlas Mountains or Menara Gardens, and high-rollers will dig the four-bedroom Royal Villa. (Not to mention the separate VIP spa pavilion in the spa complex.)
