Is Morocco on your bucket list?
Join me for the adventure of a lifetime!
Our 5-day bespoke retreat is perfect if you are looking for a more condensed, yet still completely indulgent, introduction to Morocco! You may have plans to do some additional travel before or after the retreat but would like a little more guidance to fully experience the best of Marrakech, Essaouira and the Atlas Mountains.
The itinerary has been carefully curated to ensure you see and experience the beauty and culture of some of Morocco’s must-visit locations, immersing you in the intoxicating daily life of this magical country.
I'll be on hand for the duration of the trip to help you navigate the best places to shop and eat, the most exotic scenery and cultural sites...all you need to do is get there and I'll organise the rest! (including coordinating shipping if you get a little carried away in the souks).
Tightly limited to just 6 lucky women, our retreat is a safe and comfortable way to discover Morocco, making it perfect for solo travellers or small groups!
