Come on an adventure with us
We will be staying in a beautiful secluded villa with far reaching views of the Moroccan countryside, the perfect space to relax, de stress and detox whilst enjoying 2 yoga and meditation classes a day suitable for beginners, lovely walks along the Atlantic coast, through Argan forests and discovering a hidden oasis among the sand dunes, visits to the local town of Essaouria, which is a UNESCO world heritage site known for its artisan industries and laid back way of life. Visit a rural market where people from the surrounding areas travel in to sell their produce, barber tents offering hair cuts and shaves and story tellers keeping the crowds amused. Enjoy healthy vegan food, fruits and juices for breakfast, salads for lunch and a warm traditional (vegan) meal for dinner, see how a vegetable tagine is made and have a go yourself if you like one evening.
There will also be time for you to book additional activities like surfing, kite surfing, guided walks, Hamam, massage, Reiki or just relax in the beautiful garden in the sun.
