Join Nicole for a luxurious week of exploring your body and mind through daily yoga and sensory explorations of Marrakesh. Experience all the sites and sounds of magical Morocco with luxurious day trips, spa days, tea time, souk tours, and more!
I believe travel retreats are meant to be experienced through curiosity and exploration. This African retreat will be full of gorgeous experiences that engage all the senses. Find ways to really look and be mindful, and discover a new way of seeing!
This retreat includes a Moroccan cooking lesson, a guided tour of the historic sites and lively souks (markets) of Marrakesh, a relaxing spa day at a renowned hammam, an all-day trip to the charming coastal town of Essaouira with an optional camel ride on the beach, and an outing to the Atlas Mountains for a hike or mule ride… and more.
In the evenings, we will gather for delicious meals either at the Pavilions or in a Moroccan town. At least one night, we will wander the exotic, mystical market square of Marrakesh – home to snake charmers, fortune tellers, dancers, storytellers and more. At the Pavilions, our evening activities include henna tattoos and an outdoor movie night under the stars.
Our home for the week is Peacock Pavilions, http://www.peacockpavilions.com, an 8.5 acre private estate nestled in an olive grove on the outskirts of Marrakech, with views of the snow capped Atlas mountains. The eco-friendly abode has been featured in worldwide publications, including National Geographic Traveler. Breathtakingly beautiful and luxuriously designed, the living quarters where we will stay during the retreat feature gorgeous fireplaces and a glamorous bathroom in each room. It is the most beautiful property!
We will be fed delicious organic meals at the Pavilions. Made fresh with local, seasonal farm-to-table resources and served either outdoors on the terrace or in the gorgeous Moroccan dining tent. Several evenings at the Pavilion will include cocktails and hors d'oeuvres before dinner is served.
