Welcome to a place of outstanding natural beauty – the Ourika Valley in Morocco. This stunning retreat centre gazes out to the snow capped Atlas Mountains and has been chosen especially for you offering time to find stillness, connect to your yoga practice, nurture with delicious food and be met with the kind hospitality of the Moroccan culture.
Bab Zouina, meaning “Beautiful Door” in Moroccan, is a beautiful retreat centre and perfect for your yoga and wellbeing retreat!
What is Bab Zouina?
Bab Zouina, an beautiful place surrounded by olive trees, lives with the rhythm of nature. For those wanting to take in the beautiful landscape, there are many lounging areas designed with authentic Moroccan materials as well as a cozy fire pit.
Bab Zouina is dedicated to welcoming yoga retreats. The yoga spaces are fully equipped with mats and all necessary supports for our yoga classes. There are also two rooftops where we can practice yoga while facing the magnificent Atlas Mountains, listening to the chirping birds and feeling the sunshine.
When walking through the garden you can follow the stone trails, framed with thyme and lavender hedges, lead you to browse the lantana bushes, rose trees, agave plants and exotic flowers. The dazzling sunrise and sunset can be caught from the rooftop terraces, while the night reveals a clear starry sky framed by the Atlas Mountains. It really is gorgeous!
In addition to the yoga sessions, Bab Zouina also offers outdoor onsite activities. The pool is available for those who enjoy swimming & sunbathing and the tennis court offers fun competition for experienced players (please bring your own racket and appropriate shoes for clay courts).
The wonderful team can organise well-being and cultural activities for you. The well-being activities include hammam, oil massage as well as shiatsu sessions. Cultural activities comprise cooking class, bread making, calligraphy sessions, pottery workshops, hiking, historical tour of Marrakesh, visit of local Berber markets, and more.
Why choose this Yoga & Wellbeing Retreat?
I am returning to Bab Zouina for the third year and it is a retreat I would love to visit every year if I can!
There is a combination of everything here that I feel is beneficial to a yoga retreat. The adventure of Marrakesh is on our door step as is the Atlas Mountains. This plus local walks in the area and onsite activities means you can step on your mat and out for an adventure or simply find a hammock and take a rest.
It is a delight to teach here also. The yoga space we use is set up with everything we need, it is cool when we need it to be and warm with a gorgeous log burner in the colder evenings. After each yoga practice it is a short stroll to our dedicated places for food where each meal truly is prepared and served with love.
With wi-fi being located in the main reception area only it gives us all a time to connect and disconnect creating more time to rest, chat, read and enjoy all that is on offer on a Yoga and Wellbeing Retreat with Em Yoga!
I welcome all questions too and simply drop me a line at em@emyoga.co.uk.

What’s Not Included
Travelling to Luang Prabang from the UK is most commonly done via Bangkok or other major Asian hubs such as Doha, Singapore, or Dubai. From London Heathrow and Gatwick, you can fly to Bangkok with airlines such as Thai Airways, British Airways (to Bangkok only), and EVA Air (via Taipei). From Manchester and Edinburgh, flights typically require at least one connection en route.
We recommend using flight comparison sites such as Skyscanner, Kayak, Momondo, or Google Flights to explore the best options, and booking directly with the airline where possible for added security.
If travelling from within Southeast Asia, direct flights are available from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
