Click here to take a virtual tour of the Hotel

Our retro cool boutique hotel has 5 suites and fabulous views over the majestic lake of Bin el Ouidane and the high Atlas mountains.

The weather should be similar to that of a ski resort, cold clear star filled nights followed by crisp sunny blue skied days.

Some of the best carp fishing in the world is on our doorstep and we offer full equipment hire to give you a chance to hook yourself a Moroccan monster.

The lake record is a massive 69lbs but the lake average of 30lbs would please most.

If fishing's not your thing why not kick off 2008 with some off road Quad biking? we have two 150cc automatic Quad bikes for hire and miles of unexplored tracks, ruined Kasbas and stunning mountain scenery.

If peace and tranquility is more your thing why not explore the lake on one of our surf kayaks? unsinkable and safe for even the most inexperienced its a wonderful way to see and get close to the wildlife. Just dont get too close to the Carp fishermen.

A Moroccan food experience.

Your breakfast and dinner are prepared by our hotel kitchens every day and are included in the price, the selection changes daily as we use fresh in season local produce prepared in the traditional Berber style .

The Berber lounge restaurant menu operates from 12pm-5pm.

The Pioneer menu - for ordering pack lunches and drinks when your out exploring or fishing.

Moroccan food is excellent and we hope to show some of its finer points during our Moroccan Gala diner dance on the 31st. This will be an unforgettable evening to stimulate all your senses. The night will commence in our lantern lit gardens where Berber musicians thump out their haunting drum and vocal melodies, live. The rhythm is followed by the pulsating dancers who twirl and shrill in a way that has to be heard.

The smell of the honey glazed whole mutton that has been slowly spit roasted for 8 hours is intoxicating and is the centre piece of a buffet table of locally prepared dishes that will be continually replenished during the evening.

Finally a full bar service is available till the wee small hours for those that wish.

Free holiday in Marbella for talented webdesigners and bloggers

2007-02-06T17:31:00.000+01:00

Hi my names is Fraser Cairns and I run a variety of online business´s.
I would like to offer all talented programmers with experience in Joomla and HTML and bloggers with a powerful writing style, a working holiday in sunny Marbella, Spain.

In exchange for your hard work I would like to offer a stay in my spacious town house in the center of Marbella. If you would like a working holiday with nothing to pay this end for your accommodation then read on.

I have various projects on the go that could do with a professional touch, I will try and list the projects in skill sets but if you have a different skill set then we can mix and match the work to your talents.

Project 1.

Radios y Electronica - Spanish Language.
If you have experience in Joomla, HTML, and/or a graphics background I need to create a smart and funcional site to incorporate a Blog, PHPBB forum and Shop plus incorporate into the template an Ebay store and an Amazon aStore.
Joomla is being strongly considered as the new platform so experience in this is essential.
The new site needs to develop a strong community base which could include subscription based marketing and incentives to encourage cross usage of various shops, forum and blog.

Project 2.

Writing blog posts.
360widgets is the home page to a gallery of remote hosted travel widgets featuring exciting new moving images.
This site is fed via 2 blogs.
1.- Armchair traveler is the travel guide to all 360widgets tours. The posts are written as further information, travel tips, future events, news items and buzz, based around each 360widget destination.

2.- Virtual World 360 is a blog that speaks to the blogging community. Its goals are to encourage other bloggers or web site owners to use our 360widgets on their own web pages, sidebars or posts. The blog needs to focus on installation of our widgets, the photographic techniques used and perhaps most importantly, creating a positive user community by showing examples of blogs and sites currently using our widgets.
Some examples of your work would be good to start with and this job could be done before the date of your working holiday, so you could just have a holiday!

Project 3.

A Web master for 360widgets and the two blogs described above.
SEO optimization and commercialization of the sites including adsense, banners, affiliate programs etc.

You would be responsible for your own airfares and spending money but I would arrange pick/drop off from Malaga airport and no charge for accommodation.

From a personal point of view I consider it a privilege to work with like minded talented and creative people. I look forward to working with you and making you feel welcome in my home for your working holiday.

If you would like to find out more about Marbella check out our virtual tour on the sidebar of this blog.

Looking forward to hearing from you, if you are interested in any of the above leave me a comment with your email and I will get back to you.
Thanks y hasta pronto.
Fraser
