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. 

🌿 What to Expect

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.

🌊 More Than Yoga

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.

🏡 Accommodations

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.

🍽 Nourishment

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.

🧘🏻‍♀️Instructors Madison & Holly

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.
