Join me for a 7-night all-inclusive bespoke retreat experience in exotic Morocco! I've been leading retreats in Morocco for over five years and this magical country continues to capture my heart with its rich history, warm and friendly people and awe-inspiring architecture and landscapes.

Our adventure begins in Marrakech, Morocco’s most famous and cinematic city.  Visiting Marrakech is like stepping back in time with its labyrinth of souks, fragrant spice markets and call to prayer that echoes from the mosque. Here we will spend 2 nights in a traditional Moroccan riad which will serve as our oasis as we adventure through the souks of the medina, packed with merchants’ colorful displays of handmade leather goods, woven baskets, hand-woven rugs and intricate lamps, to name a few. Donkeys are still used to transport goods through the maze of small streets which exude the scent of exotic spices and local cuisine. Our Marrakech itinerary includes a guided tour of historic monuments and luxurious gardens. It is safe to say that one truly feels transported back in time visiting this old fortified city and UNESCO world heritage site.

On day 3, we will head to the coast for a 5-night stay in Essaouira. Described as the Montauk of Marrakech, Essaouira offers all of the culture and excitement of Marrakech’s medina, in a more laid back beach atmosphere. This town served as a haven for musicians such as the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix in the 1960s and continues to attract artists and travelers looking for an off the beaten path experience. Essaouira calls you to meander through the white washed walls and bright blue doors of the medina, take in views of the sea and colorful fishing boats, browse the goods of skilled artisans and enjoy a stroll along the crescent beach. 

Our luxury resort - with a private villa, pool, gardens, chef and housekeeper - lies on the outskirts of the medina and offers daily rides into town. Essaouira’s crescent beach and sand dunes provide the perfect backdrop for our sunset camel and horseback rides, which are truly magical. This active itinerary allows for plenty of time to relax in nature by the resort pool and enjoy a traditional hammam spa experience - a must do for everyone visiting Morocco!

We will begin each morning with an all-levels invigorating yoga practice which will leave you feeling energized and ready for the day's adventures. In addition to daily yoga, we have three, 30-minute HIIT workouts for those craving an intense cardio pre-yoga workout.  

This retreat is limited to 11 guests and accommodations include single and double occupancy options. All meals are made with love from fresh local ingredients handpicked from the market on a daily basis.
