Zamzam Luxury Beach Retreat - Moroccan Coast

Image
We have just finished a stunning Luxury Retreat on the Moroccan Coast.  Our Luxury Camp was sublime and the chef especially excellent, providing wonderful fresh food at every meal. The walk was a real journey providing coves and stunning  beaches at each turn. These beaches can only be compared to Western Australia and with only a 3.5 hour flight from the UK they remain undiscovered until people start to realise the real treasures that Morocco has to offer. Relaxing in the lounge tent could not have been more relaxing listening to the rolling waves and feeling the cool breeze of the ocean. The retreats include, yoga, reiki, massage, treatments, meditation with nature, laughing with new friends and much much more.  The retreat provided a total escape from the madness of life and a change to fully relax and recharge batteries. Morocco Retreats will be hosting 3 retreats next year including Luxury Sahara Retreat.  The programmes are being drawn

Surfing on the Moroccan Coast - Ocean Vagabond

Image
 My friends are just coming back from a 3 weeks fun water sport trip to Essaouira and Dakhla, southern Morocco. Over the 3 weeks they got 18 days of solid 25 knots plus winds. They started their trip windsurfing in Essaouira . They managed to go out every day renting their gear from Ocean Vagabond Essaouira (Fanatic, North, etc). They also had alot of fun surfing the waves in Sidi Kaouki. The Ocean Vagabond Essaouira restaurant is a great place to eat good food (pizza, sushi, etc) and give you energy for your afternoon sessions. After 10 days of Essaouira fun, they packed up and left for Agadir where they took a plane to Dakhla. They stayed in the Ocean Vagabond Dakhla  ensuite bungalows , which were awesome. Kitesurfing in Dakhla is pure magic! What a place to be! Just at the edge of the desert,  a huge lagoon, massive waves, a speed spot... everything you need for maximum fun! They managed to kitesurf 8 days out of 8 days they were there.  They would go and tack for miles

Stunning vintage Handira, Berber Wedding Blankets

Image
I just stumbled upon these two really pretty vintage Handira in the mountains.  They are a great size both of them 2 meters and over with unusual intricate designs and very clean.  So I scooped them up and am now sharing them with you. I I really like the little tufts of cotton on this one in between the little sequin diamonds. See this one with its square sequin patterns.  For more handira, Berber carpets and Moroccan textiles visit the Zamzam Boutique Off with the girls and one man! on our Luxury Morocco Beach Retreat, photos to follow.....................
