7km beach makes us feel as if we're
a world away from our troubles and
stress. Our slow trot across the sand,
occasionally wandering into the
ebbing Atlantic Ocean, blows away
the cobwebs, and instils a sense of
gratitude within us.
We take things up a level with
a steady canter back towards the
resort and feel the adrenaline
pumping through our bodies and
clearing our heads of all worries.
We settle into a sun-kissed sofa at
the Buddha-Bar Beach restaurant for
sushi, miso salmon and a selection
of cocktails. With the ocean breeze
in our hair and sipping the signature
beverages, it feels as though we've
been away for days, not hours.
After a calming trot back to the
resort, we head to the Mazagan's
world-class spa, which offers a raft
of luxurious beauty treatments
including a traditional Moroccan
Hammam. It seems fitting after
the morning's activities, we get the
chance to rid our backs of knots
with a 60-minute relaxing argan
oil massage. The blissful treatment
rooms face out towards the sea,
with the gentle whooshing of the
waves and salty air enhancing the
whole experience.
Feeling suitably chilled, we
decide to test our accuracy at the
archery centre with 20 minutes
of target practice - loser buys the
drinks at supper.
The day concludes with live
music, traditional food in the
Morjana restaurant with a crisp glass
or two of Moroccan wine.
It's the perfect way to close our
first 24 hours of relaxation.

R E V, R E S T
AND RELAX
The following day continues with
a laid-back breakfast, before we head
off for an exhilarating hour on the
quad bikes on the beach, and off the
beaten track into the forest.
For a lunch that's a feast for both
the eyes and the belly, we sit down
to dine at George Steakhouse and
Bar, where we treat ourselves to the
biggest sharing steak on the menu,
the Tomahawk XXL - 1.3kg of prime
beef rib-eye cooked to perfection in
the restaurant's charcoal oven.
Full to the brim, we take to the
pool to absorb as much vitamin D as
possible, before heading back to our
room to scrub up for our final meal.
Still stuffed from our indulgent
lunch, we go for lighter options at
dinner at the La Cave French Bistro,

opting for the delicious Iberico ham
and fresh fish of the day.
That night we head to bed,
feeling relaxed, pampered and well
fed before our flight home in the
morning. We feel utterly rejuvenated
by our truly relaxing two days in
Morocco, which felt like it could
have been two weeks.
