MANDALA

Framed by a fantastic array of exotic flowers, dipped in the sand and right on the beach Villa Mandala is the perfect paradise. The large, open, ground floor courtyard with brand new pool, holds much space for basking in the sun or long lazy afternoons nestled in shady spots. Seconds from the ocean and with a fabulous view of the Atlas mountains, Mandala incorporates privacy, beauty and a unique individuality. It’s a special and luxurious place for a unique holiday experience and great value.

The new yoga studio is on the roof, with views in front of the quiet wide beach and at the back of the mountains.

Rooms are doubles and twins, single rooms may be taken for a supplementary charge. Ensuites are £50 extra.

See Gallery for mandala pictures.

Testimonials:

'An incredible holiday, I had a wonderful time, and the effects have lasted back in London - I am sleeping well and still feeling very relaxed'
- Alex Keates, Property Manager.

'I would like to say thank you again to provide such wonderful retreat in Morocco. I went for a week but got more than a week’s worth of relaxation and renewal out of it. I loved it so much; I wish we had more time to stay longer. It has been one of the most amazing experiences in my life so far. I don’t know how to describe it in any language, but you really are remarkable. I will come back in future for all of your yoga retreats to practice under your supervision anywhere in the world.
- Amineh Mansoori, Fashion Buyer.
