Adounia meaning ‘Life’ was created with the fragility of the Sahara desert environment in mind, sustainable tourism, the local Moroccan culture and desert nomad artisans. We are a luxury tented camp who uses solar energy, and sustainable practices to ensure travelers on Moroccan holiday find peace and relaxation while in harmony with the Earth.
Responsible tourism is more important than ever. In remembering the wisdom the earth and more traditional ways of life, it is vital we respect the beauty and fragility of this land through responsible tourism.
Camp Adounia is about integrating the east and west; we bring travelers from the western world, into this special place, to open their minds, create an exchange, and remember we are all the same.
We are a member of ‘Leave no Trace’ and follow their policy on camping in natural locations. We have our own Fair Trade partner in M’hamid which includes education of this fragile life style.
Our ethos is to provide a superb client experience, whilst giving where we can and supporting local communities. Our camp aims to build bridges between forgotten cultures in todays complex world through ethical and sustainable business practices.
The Camp Adounia Team are trained to understand our ecological actions and their impact on the environment and that of the planet. They are here to explain to guests how the camp operates and the ecological rules of running Adounia.
What makes your stay at Camp Adounia special?
We believe in the power of ‘Earthing’ – the importance for people to reconnect with nature and the earth. Earthing is just the foundation of a Morocco Retreat – through the carefully designed programme on retreat the person is then guided and supported within this powerful energy to get the most from this experience.
Morocco Retreats are for busy people with a sense of adventure and a need for time out to remind themselves of what life is all about, find some balance, dance around a camp fire with kindred souls, find inspiration in powerful natural environments, and be nurtured and pampered back to vitality. Sitting under the millions of stars around a camp fire listening to ancient drumming will touch your soul.
Over 6 years we have searched the globe for our Retreat Family, not only looking for excellence in their field, but a deep profound love and understanding for what Morocco Retreats stands for.
