 The Moroccan Coast is one of the world's best kept secrets.  Glorious clean deserted beaches only 3 hours from europe.  In the summer perfect temperatures and guaranteed sun, it reminds me of the south of France when I was younger.  We used to all drive down to French beaches with our boat and our tent.  These beaches are like this, a bit hippy, real beaches totally unspoilt as yet.  You can eat fresh fish, crab and lobster bbqued on the beach.  Watch camels groove on by and for the experienced hire a horse for a gallop down the beach through the waves. The beaches stretch for miles.  It's an oportunity to take a beach holiday away from super tourism.  Essaouira is a stunning little quaint Medina to visit or just get away from it all and visit Siki Kaoulki for some lounging and surf lessons.  This wonderful coast is only 2.5 hours from Marrakech and so can be combined with a historical visit to the Medina and Spa treatments at Zamzam Riad.

Come and join us at our new luxury eco camp for some glorious yoga and fun on the beach.  Sun and relaxation guaranteed as well as excellent cuisine.  All inclusive now only £995 for 6 nights. The Retreat starts at the boutique hotel, Zamzam Riad & Spa - where you can enjoy a traditional hammam and the start of your yoga before setting off on the pretty journey to the coast.  With the Spa Team and Camp Team looking after your every need and 3 treatment tents, its a wonderful week to get away from it all.  Our Retreat Director Daisy Booth will be leading the programme, yoga and meditation. At Camp Adounia you can enjoy AEOS products and also argan oil massages by Nassima.  You can walk for ages on our pretty deserted beach or take a sunset camel ride after meditation. The retreat is suitable for all levels.  For more information email zamzamriad@gmail.com or phone Emma on 00212 661215062
