Markets, Magic & Mountains: Marrakech, Morocco

Yoga. Meditation. Fitness Training. Hiking. Hammam.

Delicious local and seasonal cuisine, such as seven vegetable couscous, flavorful tagines and creative soups and vegetables, plus plenty of saffron and cinnamon, mint tea and pistachios. Plus, enjoy a hands-on cooking class so you can impress friends and family back home. Gluten-free or vegan? We’ve got you covered!

Our home away from home for the week is the embodiment of Marrakech’s creative revival. With lush gardens, art in every corner and many beautiful, tranquil spaces.

Together we will give back by partnering with an organization designed to empower the local women. Through our donations and connection we can spread joy in simple yet meaningful ways.

Love to shop and be on the cutting edge of fashion? The markets will not disappoint! Nor will all the insider access to designers, artisans and boutiques. Tres chic!

While in Marrakech guests will stay in a serene, design-forward estate nestled in Marrakech’s legendary Palmeraie. Blending Moroccan craftsmanship with understated contemporary elegance, the property feels like a dreamlike escape—lush, deeply peaceful, and crafted for travelers who value privacy, beauty, and soulful hospitality. Think whitewashed walls, arched colonnades, beautifully curated textiles, and handmade Moroccan décor, all bathed in soft desert light. The mood is a stark contrast to the beautiful yet chaotic Medina- providing a tranquil space to retreat to throughout your stay. Gardens are abundant and fragrant: olive trees, jasmine, citrus, climbing roses. Pathways gently unfold to secluded sitting areas, creating an atmosphere of calm luxury. The pool is long, elegant, surrounded by greenery—ideal for slow mornings or sunset lounging. Spacious, yet intimate, this estate serves as the ideal backdrop for this exotic, soulful Escape.

Please note that while we will have access to the entire villa, there is a public restaurant and some other annex rooms that will be used by other guests.
