Where Berber Heritage Meets Inner Balance

"Going to Morocco with Treetop was my first retreat of any kind; I was blown away by the care and consideration given to all of us! Absolutely the perfect balance of built-in excursions and freedom to do your own thing. I knew no one going on the Morocco retreat, and it didn't matter at all! I felt so warmly welcomed and ended up making some friends along the way

Find your rhythm between waves and stillness, movement and rest, connection and solitude. Join us for a week-long retreat at Villa Mandala, nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the golden hills of Morocco’s coastal countryside. Let the warmth of the sun, the sound of the sea, and the spirit of Berber hospitality guide you back to your center. Find balance on the surf board, on the camel, or in your mind, body and soul. 

Whether you're seeking rejuvenation, inspiration, or a much-needed pause, this retreat offers space to slow down and reawaken your body, mind, and soul. Over seven days, you’ll be invited into daily vinyasa and restorative yoga practices, cultural excursions, delicious meals, and ample time for both adventure and deep rest.

Morning Vinyasa sessions will energize your body in our rooftop yoga shala overlooking Banana Beach, while afternoon Restorative and Reiki practices gently guide you inward with breath, stillness, and supported postures. This is a retreat where balance isn’t just practiced—it’s lived.

You’ll have the option to dive into Morocco’s vibrant surf culture, with lessons available at local breaks. Or, if you’d rather stay grounded, relax by the plunge pool, explore bustling souks, hike through the hills dotted with Argan trees and goat herders, or unwind with a traditional hammam treatment. Every experience is optional and nothing is required—your time is your own.

Our home for the week, Villa Mandala, is an oceanfront oasis just outside Taghazout. The villa blends Moroccan charm with tranquil living, offering lush gardens, a plunge pool, cozy communal areas, and serene sleeping quarters—most with en suite bathrooms and ocean views. It’s a warm, welcoming environment, cared for by our local hosts.

Each day you’ll be nourished with lovingly prepared vegetarian meals, made with fresh local ingredients and served with care. Meals are crafted to energize and satisfy—think Moroccan spices, Mediterranean flair, and a touch of home-cooked magic. For an additional charge, an animal protein can be added to meals.

Madison Biondo

RYT 200 | Reiki Master

"Blending yoga with travel has been one of the most powerful ways for me to truly live my yoga practice. I’ve explored 15 countries in the past six years, and it all started with the first yoga retreat I ever attended. Through these travels, I’ve learned what it means to fully honor the light in all beings, across cultures, languages, and borders– a gentle reminder of our shared humanity and interconnectedness."

Madison is a passionate and intuitive yoga teacher. Her classes weave mindful movement, breath awareness, and energetic alignment to create space for physical renewal, emotional clarity, and spiritual connection. Rooted in intention and presence, her teaching invites practitioners to explore both the challenge of physical postures and the often-overlooked challenge of stillness, encouraging them to meet themselves with presence and curiosity.

Holly Arcari

RYT 200

Holly has been an the north shore for over 20 years. Her vinyasa classes incorporate breath, mindfulness, strength and surrender. Don’t let Holly Arcari’s soft demeanor think you are going to have a gentle flow. Holly’s classes are strong vinyasa practices but led with a caring approach. Sometimes she will say “let’s try this”, and it feels like we are all trying something new together and that it’s really no big deal. Truly an all-levels experience. It’s all about the practice and not being perfect. 

And if you want to push yourself a little more, Handstand Holly is your go to instructor for building strength to get upside down. Holly looks forward to offering optional handstand workshops in the yoga shala in Morocco.

When she’s not on the mat, Holly literally roots herself with her hands jn the dirt gardening and landscaping. 

Book a flight to either Marakech or Agadir, and we will be there to greet you and transport you to Villa Mandala, our home for the week. Settle in, view the sunset, and enjoy our first community meal. 

A Typical Day

- Awaken to the sounds of the waves crashing as the sun rises behind the Villa. Morning coffee is available before our first yoga practice in the rooftop Shala with stunning views of Banana Beach and the Atlantic Ocean. 

- After the morning vinyasa flow, endulge in a filling breakfast and plan your day ahead. Each day after breakfast, a buffet of veggies, fruit and proteins are set out for you to make a bento box with your lunch for that day.

- The first full day will be free time to help adjust to the time change and relax after travel. Sit by the pool, walk to Taghazout, nap, and get to know your fellow retreat attendees. For those looking for activity, a ride to the Souk in Agadir can be arranged. Sunday is one of the busiest market days as people come down from the Berber Villages to shop. 

- Mid afternoon - Tea and Fresh Cake or Cookies are placed in the common area for a snack before afternoon yoga.

- Late afternoon yoga: a restorative practice with Reiki will soothe the nervous system and offer the chance to completely sink into the experience. 

- Pre-Dinner Dips - a variety of veggies, dips and spreads, nuts and appetizers are served around the couches for 'happy hour' before dinner

- Family Style Dinner offers a warm soup and a variety of vegetarian entrees followed by dessert

- Evenings are spent on the couches in the living room sharing conversation and laughter

Each day will follow the same schedule with morning yoga, breakfast and packing bento box lunches, free time, afternoon tea, restorative yoga, happy hour and dinner.

Depending on the surf forecast, we will determine upon arrival at the retreat center which days will be best for surfing and which days are best for our excursions to the sand dunes and Essouirra.

Spa treatments and additional activities can be booked with our Villa manager each evening at dinner for the following day.
