Be Ready for New Sights, New Smells, New Experiences…
Immerse yourself in the breathtaking vistas of Northern Africa. This part of the world is filled with colorful markets and surrounded by palm trees and sand dunes. We’ll be staying on a private estate curated for rest, relaxation, exotic meals and exploration of the grounds, but just close enough to the city of Marrakech (also spelled Marrakesh) to have everything in town at our fingertips: shopping in the souks, venturing through the medina and other cultural experiences that can only be had in Morocco.
Retreat Highlights
Accommodations: We’ll be staying at a boutique hotel held exclusively for our group. It sits on 8.5 acres with a large turquoise pool, yoga pavilion, and beautiful gardens with meandering pathways. A designer + architect husband and wife team created this unique, highly-curated, hand-built property that is truly one-of-a-kind.
Excursion: Spend an afternoon off-site exploring the slower pace in the Atlas Mountains and enjoy lunch near the foot of the tallest peak in North Africa, surrounded by beautiful gardens and large terraces that offer unparalleled views of the surrounding mountains. Enjoy a picturesque and accessible hike nearby after lunch.
Excursion: Meander through Marrakech’s medinas and souks on a guided tour of the world-famous markets and shopping areas that dreams are made of!
Excursion: Visit the stunning and colorful garden, of Jardin Majorelle as well as the adjacent Yves Saint Laurent Museum (as the famous French designer spent much of his time in the city).Both are considered “must-dos” for first-time visitors to Marrakech.
Excursion: Learn about Moroccan spices, cooking techniques and dishes like the tajine and how to make traditional Moroccan mint tea through an off-site hands-on cooking class and organic garden tour.
Excursion: Enjoy a spa day off-site with a traditional Moroccan hammam + massage. You’ll be scrubbed and then rubbed in luxury at a beautiful riad in town before dining at a nearby cafe for lunch.
