“In Marrakech, you don't get lost, you find yourself."
Join me for 8 day , 7 night, luxury yoga retreat in beautiful Marrakech, Morocco. This will be my third pilgrimage here and I cannot say enough about how absolutely magical Marrakech is. Often called the "Pink City", I would argue that Marrakech is not only one of the most beautiful places in Morocco, but in the world. There is an exotic allure to this place...a mysticism. It's palpable as soon as you arrive. This 1000 year old city is rich with colors, beautiful architecture, amazing smells, and an energy that is hard to describe. Visiting Marrakech is a unique experience that blends history, culture, and stunning landscapes. Join me, and allow me to guide you on a very special curated retreat experience that will be nothing short of a dream come true.

Travel With Me

With its mountain-framed old town, storied Islamic architecture, and market filled with carpet sellers and spice merchants, Marrakech, Morocco feels like something out of a North African fairy tale. No wonder it has inspired novelists, rock musicians, interior designers, and legendary fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent.

Oh, and me. I’m Jenn Barger, a seasoned travel journalist who worked as a Washington Post fashion editor and National Geographic travel editor. I’m also the creator of the popular design and travel newsletter, The Souvenirist. Plus I’m a dynamo vacation planner who knows and loves Marrakech.

That’s why I’m launching a small-group retreat, Marrakech Design & Desert Delights, January 8-14, 2027. With expert assistance from my friends at high-style boutique hotel Peacock Pavilions, eight to 14 of us will spend a week exploring the culture, crafts, cuisine, and history of the famed “Red City.”

RITUAL & RENEWAL

YOGA + CEREMONY + BREATH - We are excited to announce this brand new itinerary for Marrakesh (after 50+ retreats here in 15 years!) We will focus on an itinerary of true renewal with yoga, meditation, breathwork, daily ceremony (cacao, water, fire, altar-making), combined with exciting daily day trips and onsite activities so that you get a full taste of the magic of this exotic land. Plus we will highlight time to rest and renew with later mornings, journal prompts for you to spend time on your own, whether it be sleeping in or waking early for a silent meditation in nature. Then our days begin and will be filled with meaningful work designed to renew our spirits and bodies. Join us for this intimate time and come with an open heart.

Our time will be based around the elements which will provide a framework for this special itinerary. We will start the retreat with an opening sharing circle to set the space and intentions for the retreat, and end our time together with a closing circle as well to recount some of the things we will take away with us. Below is a list to give an idea of the special activities that we’ll be partaking in during this themed itinerary:

EARTH ELEMENT Grounding Yoga, Earth Meditation Walk, Altar-making Workshop, Henna Party, Moroccan Alchemist & Tea Class

WATER ELEMENT Breath work Session, Water Ceremony, Day trip to Hammam for treatments and “water ritual”, Freetime in Souks, Poolside Meal, Yoga Nidra

FIRE ELEMENT Breathwork Session, Visit to Desert with Camel Rides on Dunes + Lunch in Opulent Berber Tents, Fire & Cacao Ceremony, Night Cinema

AIR ELEMENT Hot Air Balloon Ride by Atlas Mountains, Soundbath Healing, Closing Circle & Breath, Farewell Dinner with Bellydancer

MINDFUL MOVEMENT + MAGIC

Join us on this special week in Marrakesh as we explore the magic of Morocco. This Movement + Magic week combines daily yoga with various additions like meditation, personalized card readings from Amy, even a talk about the folklore and symbols of the Moroccan culture! Of course this is combined with exciting daily day trips and onsite activities so that you get a full taste of the magic of this exotic land.

Guests will not only enjoy the grounds of Peacock Pavilions and the outdoor areas (including a lovely pool, patio, private terraces, and covered yoga platform), but the retreat also includes some amazing day-trips to surrounding sites. A guided day in Marrakesh will lead guests through an introduction to souks, artisans, and plenty of architectural sites to see.

A day will be spent exploring the desert outside of the city where we’ll experience camel rides on the dunes and a coursed tasting lunch! We’ll of course visit the famed Jardin Majorelle and the YSL Museum. During the week we’ll enjoy activities on-site such as a henna party, massage treatments, a poolside cocktail reception with Moroccan entertainment, and even a presentation to learn more about our giveback partner, Project Soar. The final full day entails a trip to a famous hammam (a luxurious spa facility), where guests can be pampered to their heart's content with a full program of various treatments. What better way to wrap up a week of yoga than a day of pure relaxation.
