Beach Spa Holiday - Morocco

Last couple of places left on our rejuvenating Beach Retreat.  Opt in or out of daily classes, sunbathe around the private pool or lounge/walk on the beach.  Maybe you might like a go at surfing or a sunset walk on camels.  Its all included in the price!

Chill out and read a book, enjoy your massages and rich mineral mud hammam.  Wash all your emotional and city grime away and return ready for an excellent summer.

Fantastic yoga with Daisy every day and the magic of Reiki with the Master Rebecca, turn this holiday into a full mot and service.  Its important to do this occasionally to keep your body and life in check.

Meditate together at sunset before a shower and evening under the starts with a beach fire and wonderful drummers from the Sahara.

We have guides on hand to take you on a wonderful beach and cove walk exploring this clean energising coast.

Morning meditation in the cool clean sea air with the rhythm of the waves to move you deeper.

The holiday start in Morocco on the 15 of June with a group supper and welcoming at Zamzam the ancient fortunetellers house in Marrakech Medina.

Oualidia Bay - Moroccan Beach with fresh oysters and seafood

My birthday weekend at Oualidia Bay was as usual out of this world.  The Moroccan Coast never ceases to amaze me with its miles of clean beaches, sun, fresh air and outstanding sea food.  We over ordered as usual, oysters, spider crab, salads, sole straight from the ocean all excellent.

 The children love this beach with its coves and natural rock pools, there is always something to build or explore.

 You can get a boat as we did across the lagoon to a huge sand bank on the other side.

 Crossing over on one of the many taxi boats only costs about 50dhs.  Dinner or lunch at L'Initiale is my favourite place, the prices are very reasonable and the French owners very friendly and always pleased to see us.

Later this year in November 2013 we have a couple of places left on our 'Pampering Retreat' for people who want to relax for some winter sun and get away from it all.  Look at our website www.moroccoretreats.com for full programme and further information.

Marrakech Bike Ride - Education for All Charity

What a superb bike ride more than 150 entries from around the world.  Hideous weather in Marrakech which is really unusual.  I was up at 6am manning a stand after a big party the night before.  I wouldn't have minded but it was freezing and raining.  Marcus cycled 60k in this freezing weather for the girls education.  We were and are so proud of him on a Sunday morning to boot.

Some very cold cyclists who were relieved they were at the 30k stop because they thought they had done 60k.  All in all a great day with a fantastic finale dinner and charity auction at the Four Seasons.  Well done all of you !

Oualidia Bay - Moroccan Coast Retreat

"When we arrived, I thought perhaps there had been some mistake: it didn't look like a town that would attract royalty. Or flamingos. But then you turn a corner towards the sea and Oualidia uncurls to reveal the magical lagoon at its centre.

It is immediately beguiling. The crescent of butterscotch-coloured sand loops at the southern tip of 11km of lagoon, protected from the crashing Atlantic by a barrier of rocks that catch all the violence of the ocean. Slickly wet-suited children surf in miniature waves and teenagers play football among djellaba-clad women making sandcastles with their babies on a stage-like central island, which evaporates and re-emerges with the tides. Over the course of our three days, it never looked like the same beach twice. Silver at night, the water was lilac in the rising morning.

In spring and autumn, migrating pink flamingos land here on the way from Spain to sub-Saharan Africa. We watched elegant sandpipers and curlews, herons marching their lolloping Egyptian walk through the sand, swallows dancing to the sound of minarets calling the boatmen, fisherman and surfers to prayer." Article in the Observer 2 September 2012

Zamzam Retreats are holding a  wonderful luxury pampering Retreat in Oualidia in November 2013 you can view the whole programme here - www.moroccoretreats.com

We went to do a rece last month and consider surrounding beaches and generally have a fabulous weekend.  This bay with its abundance of fresh sea food is stunning and magical.

The beautiful horizon pool of the villa allows you to swim whilst taking in the stunning view of the lagoon.

Beach holiday - Agadir Morocco

Cycling along the promenaded at Agadir beach.  Bicyles can be hired from your hotel for about £5 for half a day a great family activity after breakfast.

There are now 2 Sofitel's at Agadir on the beach, a luxury one and a standard one, they are both good and often have good offers on.

Wonderful heated pool in the winter too at both hotels owned by the Sofitel in Agadir.  Children get dinner and breakfast free too and one child can stay in your bedroom for free.
