Stay with Us
Hosting or attending a yoga retreat? Need a relaxing escape? You knocked on the right door! We will ensure that your accomodation, facilities, and food create a memorable stay in a heaven of peace.
Bab Zouina has several ecological buildings spread across its wide domain, with a total of 19 rooms that can host up to 45 people. Our buildings are based on beautiful traditional earth architecture. They are spacious and have various terraces and peaceful places that allow guests to relax.
Bab Zouina, an enchanting place surrounded by olive trees, still lives with the rhythm of nature. For those wanting to take in our beautiful landscape, we have many lounging areas designed with authentic Moroccan materials as well as a cozy fire pit.
Yoga Shalas – Bab Zouina is dedicated to welcoming yoga retreats. We have 2 spacious yoga shala fully equipped with mats and all needed supports including blocks, ropes, belts, blankets, iyengar chairs, etc. We also have 2 rooftops where you can practice facing the Atlas Mountains, and amongst the chirping birds and the sunlight. Look into our upcoming yoga retreats here.
Garden – By walking through our garden, your senses will experience the purity of the air, the invigorating smells, the chanting of birds, and the red soil sprinkled with varied hues of green. The stone trails, framed with thyme and lavender hedges, lead you to browse our lantana bushes, rose trees, agave plants, and exotic flowers. During the day, the garden transforms magically with the alternation of light and shadow; at night it reveals a clear starry sky framed by the Atlas Mountain.
The garden owes a lot to the amazing Swedish artist and landscaper, Catharina von Unge. While designing Bab Zouina’s garden, she tastefully combined the British aesthetic with the rusticity and simplicity of the Ourika valley.
Pool, Petanque & Tennis – Besides your yoga sessions, we offer uplifting outdoor activities. The pool is available for those who enjoy swimming & sun bathing. The petanque pitch provides nice entertainment amongst friends. Whereas, the tennis court offers fun competition for experienced players (please bring your own racket and appropriate shoes for clay courts).
And More – Beyond this, we can organise well-being and cultural activities for you (upon request). Our well-being activities include hammam, oil massage as well as shiatsu sessions. Our cultural activities include: pottery workshops, calligraphy sessions, hiking, historical tour of Marrakesh, visit of local Berber markets, cooking class, bread making, etc.
All our meals are prepared with care and love using local produce as well as from our garden and emit the pleasant scent of Oriental spices. We offer amazing Moroccan and Berber cuisine that can cater to any food constraint including vegan, gluten or lactose free. Each meal is prepared to be a therapy of healthy and tasty foods to nourish your body.
On a daily basis our bread is baked in a traditional Moroccan earth oven. Our kitchen staff also squeezes delicious fruit juices, so you get your shot of vitamins. On top of this, tea, coffee, fresh and dried fruits are available throughout the day. A balance and healthy diet for our guests is centre to our philosophy.
