Dreamy Retreats has been featured in press articles such as the Telegraph ("20 of the best wellness holidays for 2023") and the Times ("The best of Ibiza and Mallorca"), and holds the "Travellers' Choice Award" from TripAdvisor. 🏆

We are so excited to announce that, for the first time ever in Dreamy Retreats history... we're going to Morocco! 🇲🇦🐫✨

Join Sanya and friends for a magical New Year escape to Morocco, where we'll leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind and welcome in a brand-new year surrounded by nature, sunshine, yoga and good energy. 🌞

Perhaps you've always dreamed of visiting Morocco but have been hesitant to take the leap and travel solo. Or perhaps you've been before and, like so many others, feel drawn back to experience more of its magic. Either way, this retreat is the perfect opportunity to discover (or rediscover) the wonders of Morocco in a safe and supported way, and immerse yourself in its rich culture — all in the wonderful company of like-minded souls. 🤍

The beauty of this place is truly intoxicating, from its breathtaking mountain landscapes to its vibrant colours, rich culture and captivating atmosphere. It's the kind of place that awakens your senses, sparks your curiosity and inspires you to see the world — and perhaps even yourself — a little differently. ✨

We'll be staying at the enchanting Bab Zouina, a beautiful, bohemian retreat centre nestled in the foothills of Morocco's Atlas Mountains, surrounded by olive trees, fragrant gardens and breathtaking mountain scenery. 🌿🏔️

With its dreamy Moroccan architecture, peaceful gardens, swimming pool and tranquil natural surroundings, Bab Zouina feels like a little world of its own — the perfect place to slow down, reconnect and reset before stepping into a new year. 🥹

Imagine waking up to the sound of birdsong, stepping outside into the crisp Moroccan air and watching the dawn light spill across the mountains. 🕊️

We'll begin our mornings gently, with time for silence, breathwork, meditation and journalling, giving you space to clear your mind, reflect on the year that's passed and set some beautiful intentions for the year ahead.

How you spend the rest of the day is entirely up to you! As well as our scheduled yoga sessions, there will be plenty of free time to do whatever it is your soul is calling for... Relax by the pool, curl up with a book, wander through the gardens, book yourself a massage or hammam treatment, explore the surrounding area or simply do absolutely nothing.

There is no pressure to be productive here. This is your time to rest, breathe and reconnect with yourself.

For those craving a little adventure, we'll also have the option to join some optional excursions, including a trip into the spectacular Atlas Mountains 🏔️ and an optional day exploring the vibrant and enchanting city of Marrakech — think colourful souks, beautiful architecture, Moroccan food and plenty of opportunities to soak up the magic of this incredible country. 🕌✨

These excursions will be completely optional and will incur an additional cost, so you can choose whether you'd like to explore or simply stay at Bab Zouina and enjoy the peaceful retreat environment.

For those who like to socialise, we'll have plenty of time for connection, laughter and making new friends along the way - we are very lucky in that we always attract a wonderful group of like-minded souls. Whether you'd like to spend your days chatting by the pool and getting to know everyone, or prefer to find a quiet corner for some much-needed solitude, there is never any judgement. 🤍

Then comes the really special part...

We'll be celebrating New Year's Eve together in true Dreamy Retreats style — surrounded by beautiful people, good energy, delicious food and the magic of Morocco. ✨

We'll take time to reflect on the year gone by, celebrate everything we've experienced and achieved, and create space for what we'd like to call into our lives next.

Whether you're someone who loves a New Year's resolution or you'd rather simply let go of the pressure and see what unfolds, this is an opportunity to begin the year feeling grounded, inspired and connected. 🌙

As always, the vibe will be super relaxed — there is no pressure to take part in any or all of the activities. We want you to follow your bliss, whether that means attending every yoga class, joining an excursion or staying in bed with a cup of Moroccan mint tea. ☕🌿

Dreamy Retreats is all about balance, joy and doing what feels good for you, so you can move, rest, explore, socialise or simply be. ✨

SUITABLE FOR ALL LEVELS OF YOGA FROM COMPLETE BEGINNER TO ADVANCED.

We promote an inclusive vibe and welcome all genders, ages and backgrounds. Whoever you are, you'll find your place with us. 🙏

So, whether your soul is craving deep rest, a little adventure, a fresh start or simply some time to reconnect with yourself and nature — we got you covered. 🥰

Come and slow down, soak up the magic of Morocco and start the new year feeling completely renewed. ✨🇲🇦
