Revitalize your spirit, in the full sensory experience of magical Morocco.
Our yoga retreat takes place in the outskirts of Marrakech, in a luxury boutique hotel with breathtaking views of the Atlas Mountains.
Morocco ... perhaps it’s always called to you, but you didn’t know where to start—well, now’s your chance to be dazzled and delighted by Morocco’s charms, so put on your babouches (leather slippers) and join us on this transformational journey to magical Morocco!
Yoga, meditation, laughter and connection. We’ve designed a holistic retreat experience for a small group, in a “tribal chic”setting. Our retreat menu includes gentle yoga, Yin yoga, breathing and relaxation techniques, Face Yoga, EFT Tapping, and Yoga Nidra meditation.
A blend of relaxation, self-care, and adventure, so that you can fully enjoy Morocco's beauty and warm hospitality.
Live an Arabian fairytale dream!
Experience culturally intriguing Marrakesh, renowned for its palaces and shrines as well as its winding labyrinth of souks — a shopper’s paradise. The full sensory experience of the city has long been inspiration for designers, authors and filmmakers around the world.
We’ll visit famous sights such as the Yves Saint Lauren Garden. We’ll spend time in the Toubkal National Park, enjoying easy walking trails, and lunch in a scenic Berber village against the backdrop of the surrounding Atlas Mountains.
Beginners and seasoned yoga students are welcome. You’ll feel supported and encouraged as you connect body, mind and spirit through ancient yoga practices.
If you’ve been with us on retreat before, you’ll know we blend activity with relaxation, whether in peaceful solitude, or in the community of likeminded souls.
Highlights:
In addition to yoga, meditation and excursions, you’ll have unlimited access to the property’s large swimming pool, an outdoor gym, and a boules court (lawn bowling).
There’ll be plenty of time to enjoy the spacious grounds, relax with endless cups of mint tea, or perhaps treat yourself to a massage.
A special feature is our outdoor cinema evening, enjoying a classic film under a starry canopy (fancy a little bit of Bogart and Bergman, anyone?)

When the owners of our retreat hotel make a statement like, “We believe the world would be a better place if everyone made an effort to be better neighbors”, we know we’ve found a special spot to host our retreat.
We’re inspired by Project SOAR, the non-profit organization the hotel owners founded in 2013. The goal of Project SOAR is to educate and empower teenage girls to be the leaders of today and tomorrow.
