Into the Desert – Morocco

And the palm trees whisper stories from the souk.

The retreat was organized 20 minutes drive away from Marrakech, in the palmeraie region, where one can start counting the palm trees simply as a part of daydreaming routine. We have chosen this location as our goal was to be close to the city and create a balance between the urban buzz of the Marrakech souk and the evening stillness of the desert. Having the opportunity to combine the two gave a sense of possibilities – having only a long weekend we rested our soul yet sparkled adventure to our bodies. We have visited all the possible highlights of Marrakech at the same time had the luxury to wake up to the sound of desert and practice pilates among the most beautiful palm trees we have seen to date. Hammam, souk, belly dancing, massages, evening yoga, typical moroccan dishes each day, pilates burning our glutes and all the other fun and magic is just a little to say of what we have experienced.

Hidden in the desert of palmeraie this private villa is a design jewel on its own terms. Every little detail of the house is so well thought through that once you step in all feels well, quiet and created with passion. The exterior structure from afar looks like a part of the desert, yet once you step in you can sense a balanced combination of the West meeting the traditions of the Marrakech culture. A weekend in this villa opens quietly to a new balanced you. It becomes your blank page for dreams.
