RETURN TO THE SENSES

A MARYAM MONTAGUE INSIDER RETREAT

JUNE 19-26, 2026

7 NIGHTS 8 DAYS

Marrakech, Morocco… the name alone stirs the senses. Step into the rhythm of the Red City and experience its textures, rituals, and hidden corners alongside stylist and tastemaker Maryam Montague, who will guide you through a deeply nourishing, soul-expanding journey designed to awaken curiosity, connection, and calm, with moments of intentional, artisan-led shopping woven in to discover pieces that carry the spirit of the place home with you.

Spend a week immersed in the Red City with Maryam as your stylist, guide, and cultural insider on this exclusive Marrakech Insider Retreat. From thoughtfully curated experiences and artisan shopping to restorative moments, unforgettable meals, and behind-the-scenes access, every detail is designed so you can arrive, exhale, and fully receive the magic of the journey.

PEACOCK PAVILIONS

Peacock Pavilions is a handmade, artisanal boutique hotel in an olive grove on the outskirts of Marrakech.  Peacock Pavilions was designed and built by American author, blogger and designer, Maryam Montague, and her American architect husband, Chris Redecke.  

The boutique hotel consists of 2 guest pavilions; as well as luxury tented bungalows. There is also a pool, an Arabian dining tent, outdoor cinema, yoga tent, outdoor gym, and terraces overlooking sublime views of the Atlas Mountains.

Peacock Pavilions has been featured in dozens of media, including Elle Décor, House & Garden, Food & Wine, as well as on CNN, House and Garden TV, and the Travel Channel. Additionally, Peacock Pavilions is a favorite for beautiful parties, including for designer Jimmy Choo, as well as for fashion shoots, including for J Crew and Tory Burch. 

MARYAM, YOUR GUIDE

Maryam is an American designer, hotelier and humanitarian, as well as founder of the #tribalchic lifestyle brand, M.Montague. She lives in Marrakech at Peacock Pavilions with her architect husband.  

In addition to acting as Peacock Pavilions' creative director, she is also the curator and designer for the M.Montague Souk, her shop of tribal-inspired and Moroccan home décor. Her book, Marrakesh by Design was released by publishers in the US, UK and Australia, and was named a Best Book of the Year by the editors at Amazon and featured in over 100 media outlets.

Maryam has been featured on CNN International multiple times and was in the New York Times Magazine with her favorite tips on Marrakech. Forbes named her 1 of 6 "women hoteliers shaking up the travel world."

Maryam is also the founder and Executive Director of Project Soar, the teen girl empowerment organization with 40 locations in Morocco and Syria. She has been an awarded an Ashoka Fellowship as a leading social entrepreneur who is providing an innovative solution to one of society’s most pressing social problems.

Named by leading global media, including the New York Times, as one of the world’s most compelling destinations, Marrakech is a place to be experienced through the body and the senses. With more than a thousand years of living culture, the Red City invites you to slow down and return to sight, sound, scent, taste, and touch through its gardens, hammams, spice-filled souks, and sun-washed courtyards that have long inspired designers, writers, and seekers alike.

Guided by stylist and tastemaker Maryam Montague, this immersive retreat offers a way into the city that feels both grounding and expansive. Move through days shaped by gentle restoration and discovery, from nourishing meals and moments of pampering to artisan encounters, intentional shopping, and sensory workshops designed to help you reconnect with yourself and your surroundings.

The labyrinth of the souks becomes a place of curiosity rather than overwhelm, scent leading you one way, texture another, color another still. Wellness is woven throughout, not as a single activity but as a way of being, an invitation to breathe deeper, notice more, and feel fully present.

This thoughtfully timed Return to the Senses retreat blends exploration, creativity, and restoration, allowing you to gather meaningful pieces, unforgettable experiences, and a renewed connection to your five senses to carry home long after the journey ends.
