What awaits you
Hammam ritual
Traditional Moroccan hammam. A centuries-old ritual of steam, clay, and stillness.
Medina exploration
Guided walks through the souks and Medina at dusk. A city at its most alive.
Atlas foothills
Day hike into the Atlas mountains. Berber villages, walnut groves, silence.
Riad evenings
Shared dinners in a private riad courtyard. Long tables, low light, slow conversation.
The Riad
A private world within the Medina.
Your home for eight days is a traditional Moroccan riad, a private residence built around a central courtyard, hidden behind an unassuming door in the Medina. Inside: mosaic tilework, carved cedar, and the sound of a fountain. Nothing signals that anything extraordinary lies within.
All rooms are private. The riad is exclusive to your group for the full eight days. Breakfast served in the courtyard each morning. Dinners under the stars. Movement sessions on the rooftop terrace at sunrise.
Exclusive use
The riad is yours alone. No other guests, no shared spaces, no interruptions.
Rooftop terrace
Daily movement at sunrise. Panoramic views over the Medina roofline and the Atlas beyond.
Central courtyard
Meals, ceremonies, stillness. A living room open to the sky, the heartbeat of the retreat.
Private hammam
An in-house hammam ritual included. Steam, savon beldi, and the ancient kessa scrub.
On the eight-day retreat only
Brunch, or a private dinner, in the stables.
A table set inside a working stable at the end of the palm grove, among Arabian thoroughbreds. Late morning brunch or a private dinner, your group alone, with the horses brought out beforehand. It is the one evening of the week we do not improvise, and it is arranged with the property well in advance.
Available on the eight-day, seven-night Marrakech retreat. Not part of the four-night escape.

Getting there
How to arrive

Private transfers from the airport to your riad are included. Journey time approximately 20–30 minutes. We coordinate all logistics once your place is confirmed.
These weeks run with a partner
This retreat is not on open sale. We build it with a studio, a club or a clinic that brings its own group, and we open a date around their season rather than ours. Tell us who you would bring and when, and we will come back with a week.

Where you stay
Superior accommodation, chosen on the ground by our own experts.
Nothing on this site was booked from a catalogue. Every riad, camp, kasbah and guesthouse was found, visited and slept in by one of our experts before it was ever offered to a guest. The standard is superior throughout, and the reason is practical: after a day of walking, surfing or altitude, comfort is not a luxury, it is what makes the next day possible.
Visited before it is offered
Our team travels the country year-round. If one of us has not slept there, it does not go into a programme.
Original, never generic
Private riads, our own exclusive-use camp in the dunes, restored family kasbahs, guesthouses in Berber villages. Places you cannot book from a screen.
Comfort as a working tool
Real beds, hot water, quiet rooms, proper food. Recovery is part of the programme, not an afterthought.
Groups & circles
Coming as a group?
Six of you or more, and the whole retreat can be arranged around your circle. Tell us the size and the dates, and we prepare a proposal for you.
