The Garden of Yuda

Guest house in Morocco

A haven of tranquility for a moment of retreat and replenishment in a small traditonal Berber village.

A silent and beautful spot at the heart of a small Moroccan village of Berber tradition where I decided to settle down twenty years ago.

You are invited to stay in the house I constructed in loam, a place where you will gain the sense of a silent retreat, a complete rest, a deep replenishment of serenity and contentment.

Welcome to the Garden of Yuda.

Activities

At the Garden of Yuda, you can learn the routines of daily life in rural Morocco: making bread, enjoying Berber gastronomy, practicing carpet weaving, discovering the art of loam construction in local architecture …

Go hiking in the surrounding landscapes wih innumeral mineral treasures.

Visit the nearby region with the famous ksar (fortified village) of Aït Ben Haddou, the kasbah of Telouet, the oasis of Fint …

But over and above all, take the time to live serenly into each day, to eat well, to admire the pure sky and its starry nights, the time to write, to paint, to read, to rest, to meditate.

Your opinion on the Garden of Yuda

Yuda is an Amazigh word that can be translated as the idea of contentment.

Yuda is the word santoṣa in the Sanskrit language, the second of the Niyamas (moral discipline) as set out by Patañjali in the Yoga sūtra.
