Morocco - Sea to Sahara
‘Spice Voyages’ tours for connoisseurs
specialise in just-off-the-beaten-track-experiences with more than a dash of luxe.
I live between Bali, Perth, India, Morocco - & now Sri Lanka - so a Spice Voyage promises authenticity in unforgettable locations.
Discover the arts, cuisine and cultures of destinations whose rich cultures have drawn traders and travellers for two millennia along the Spice Routes from North Africa to Southern Asia.

Imagine cocooning yourself for a week by the sea, where all you have to think about is floating from yoga to painting to a massage or food or a swim...
Creative Living Retreats offer supported
well-being as you explore your creative potential with professional artists, writers and yoga teachers in this seaside location.
With everything provided, all you need bring is your intention!
The retreats take place at Villa Nilaya from May to July. At other times, this property is available as an Airbnb rental - see this site
Guests describe Villa Nilaya as 'a paradise of pleasure' that 'takes your breath away'.
You can call it your Bali 'home from home'.
We are operating throughout 2020 and have been welcoming guests every day since the COVID-19 pandemic was announced.
Absolute beachfront, direct beach access and fantastic snorkeling, a haven of tranquility just far enough from the maddening crowds to offer seclusion without being remote.
Let our chefs and masseuses spoil you with affordable, laid-back luxury for body and soul, with delicious food and stylish sea-side living
