6-Day Cultural & Wellness Retreat

Service Description

This November, I invite you to join a truly unique Desert Retreat, an experience that blends adventure, deep rest, cultural immersion and soulful connection. November offers the desert at its finest: warm sun to nurture the body, breathtaking sunsets cool and star-filled skies to inspire awe. It’s a precious chance to soak up the last golden light of the year, gently warming your body and spirit in preparation for the colder months ahead. Our journey begins in the vibrant city of Ouarzazate, the gateway to the Sahara. We will spend our 1st night in a breathtaking Kasbah in Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where ancient architecture and timeless atmosphere set the perfect tone for the days ahead. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the winding lanes of the old fortress, climb to the panoramic viewpoint and enjoy a traditional Moroccan meal under the stars. The following morning, we venture deeper into the desert, where a private bivouac camp will be waiting for us among the golden dunes. Here, we will spend 4 unforgettable days. In the desert, each day offers space to breathe, reset and reconnect with what truly matters. We will begin our mornings with sunrise meditation and mindful movement, followed by a traditional breakfast prepared by our private chef. During the day, you’ll have the choice to trek into the desert either on foot or by camel or to simply remain at the camp, savouring stillness.
