& Recovery
Your sport. Our recovery.
Marrakech · Morocco
The retreat
One programme.
The sport is yours to choose.
Every Sport & Recovery week is built the same way. Four days of serious training in Marrakech with certified coaches, then a change of setting for the second half: the Atlantic, the Atlas, or the medina, depending on the sport you pick. Pilates and yoga daily. Ice bath every evening. A hammam ceremony and a deep tissue massage mid-week. Pottery and a cooking class to slow the return to ordinary time.
What changes is the discipline at the centre of it. Padel, tennis, hyrox, hybrid fitness or trekking: you choose when you book, and the coaching, the facility and the second destination follow. 8 to 20 participants, private riad accommodation, one group at a time. The recovery is as deliberate as the training, which is the whole point.

Choose your sport
Five disciplines, one week.
The recovery spine is identical across all five. Pick the discipline that matches your season, and the dates below will tell you which weeks run it.
Padel & Recovery
Marrakech & Essaouira
Four days on Marrakech's finest padel courts. Private coaching, match play, tactical sessions. Then the Atlantic at Essaouira for the recovery half: ocean air, Gnawa evenings, cold water. Court hire and equipment included.
Tennis & Recovery
Marrakech & Essaouira
Certified coaching on premium courts in the red city: groundstrokes, serve, tactics, a closing tournament. The second half moves to Essaouira, where the Alize wind opens the week to kitesurf discovery and ocean yoga.
Hyrox & Mobility
Marrakech
All eight stations in a private Marrakech facility: ski erg, sled push and pull, burpee broad jump, rowing, farmer carry, sandbag lunges, wall balls. Certified Hyrox coaches throughout. The riad courtyard becomes the cold plunge zone.
Mobility & Fitness
Marrakech & Taghazout
Strength, conditioning, HIIT and functional movement in a private facility, then south to Taghazout on the surf coast. Surf introductions, ocean yoga, and a full cold-water protocol to close the week.
Trekking & Recovery
Marrakech & High Atlas
Preparation in Marrakech, then a 4x4 to Imlil for two days of guided trekking toward the Toubkal base camp, through Berber villages and walnut groves. Cold plunge in Atlas rivers. Back to Marrakech for the recovery finish.

The experience
Identical in every variant.
Coaching with certified professionals
Whichever discipline you choose, the coaching is the real thing: certified professionals, small groups, individual attention. Facility and equipment hire are included in every variant.
Pilates & yoga
Daily practice, morning and evening. Pilates for core stability and hip mobility, yoga for range and recovery. The foundation that keeps eight days of training sustainable rather than punishing.
Ice bath protocol
Cold exposure every day after the session, three minutes, with breathwork integration. Inflammation drops, muscle recovery accelerates, and the mental clarity is its own reward. Measurable improvement over eight days.
Hammam & massage
A traditional hammam ceremony mid-week in a Marrakech bathhouse, with the kessa scrub and black soap ritual. One deep tissue massage per person, targeting the muscle groups your sport loads most.
Pottery workshop
An afternoon in a Medina workshop with a master potter, hands in the clay. Deliberately analogue, deliberately slow. The counterweight to a week measured in reps and splits.
Moroccan cooking class
A full class with a Marrakech cook: tagine, bread, the spice work behind both. You eat what you make, at a shared table. All meals across the week are included.
Day by day
Eight days in Morocco.
Arrival Marrakech
Transfer from Marrakech Menara to the riad. Welcome dinner, programme overview, equipment check. Early bedtime before the first session.
First session
Morning coaching in your sport. Afternoon second session. Ice bath recovery at the riad. Evening walk through the Medina.
Sport and culture
Morning session. Afternoon hammam ceremony and deep tissue massage. Yoga on the rooftop before dinner.
Full effort
The hardest day of the week: tournament format, benchmark workout, or the long approach, depending on your discipline. Ice bath after. Pottery workshop in the evening.
Change of setting
Transfer to the second destination for your sport: Essaouira, Taghazout or Imlil. Hyrox groups stay in Marrakech and move to the second facility. Afternoon free.
The second element
Sunrise yoga. The signature session of the second half: kitesurf, surf, mountain trail or the full Hyrox simulation. Cooking class in the afternoon.
Final session
Optional morning session or free time. Cold plunge in ocean or mountain river. Final dinner on the terrace, live Gnawa music.
Departure
Slow breakfast, closing circle, and transfer to the airport. Departure from Marrakech, Essaouira or Agadir depending on your route.
