While relaxing on a rooftop terrace, the sun is softly setting behind an old olive grove as the shadows are gently falling on the breathtakingly beautiful Atlas Mountain peaks behind you.

The Retreat Inspiration Morocco is JUST what you’ve been looking for to get the help you need to make it happen!
Plus we’ll be exploring the fabulous city of Marrakesh, eating incredibly delicious food, and availing ourselves of some of the most body-melting spa services!
The Venue
Morocco – bordering the Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea – evokes images of souks and medieval maze-like streets, stretches of empty beaches, and stark deserts and mountains touched by Berber, Arabian and European influences.
We’ll be spending five fabulous nights in the beautiful city of Marrakesh enjoying the wonderful culture, food, shopping, and the glamorous decor of the fabulous Peacock Pavilion.
Our chic boutique hotel was designed and built by blogger and designer, Maryam Montague, and her American husband, Chris Redecke.
Maryam’s been writing for Travel & Leisure Magazine as their local Marrakesh expert and currently has around 35 stories live on their site featuring her fabulous recommendations on where to shop, spa, dine, and go in the mysterious Red City!
Maryam’s an incredible resource and has been featured in a multitude of magazines not only for her advice and fabulous place – but because of her non-profit project, Project Soar (which we will be contributing to), and for her gorgeous online boutique, the Red Thread Souk (if you look you’ll be in there dreaming for hours!).
Every corner has been decorated with her funky and fun aesthetic and there’s no way you’re going home without a piece of Morocco – whether it’s a beautiful lamp, textiles, a pouf, a carpet, silver jewelry pieces, or leather goods.
The Cuisine
Let’s get this straight right from the start – there’s no processed food at Peacock Pavilion – only delicious homemade food using the freshest and organically grown resources.
The breads are baked fresh daily in the village’s communal oven, and dinners are slow, multi-course relaxing affairs with candlelight and magic.
If you don’t eat this or that – no worries – they are happy to accommodate any of your food preferences.
The Delights
As if the above adventures were not enough to make you swoon – how about we indulge in traditional Hammam at Les Bains de Marrakech?
The Moroccan Hammam is a place where locals go to socialize, relax and meet one another, but also to get scrubbed within an inch of their lives!
Be prepared to open your pores and be scrubbed with an exfoliating glove and savon noir soap (their black soap made from olive oil). Slather on a little argon oil afterwards and you’ll leave feeling scrubbed clean, fresh, shiny, intensely relaxed and totally refreshed! Ahhhhh……
And don’t forget to treat yourself to Les Bains de Marrakech home products and take home their delicately perfumed candles (they make lovely holiday gifts), their home perfumes, and face and body crèmes.
And we can’t forget a tour of the highlights of the city with our trusty guide exploring the old medina souks for djellaba robes, spices, babouches (Moroccan slippers), old carpets and colorful ceramics, perhaps visiting the old ruins of the El Badi Palace, or the stunning Bahia Palace (which truly is an architectural wonder).
I’m not sure exactly what we’ll be seeing yet – it all depends on our mood and our guide. And yup – don’t worry, you’ll also have some time to do your own shopping if you need some extra retail therapy!
No Moroccan retreat can be complete without a VIP party, and no party can be without Peacock Pavilion’s scrumptious artisanal cocktails and hors d’oeuvres – just in case we get a bit peckish before dinner!
So what kind of party is this?
It’s a henna party and we’re going to have a fabulous time being beautifully decorated!
And last of all, who could possibly pass up the opportunity to watch Casablanca on their outdoor movie screen under the Moroccan stars with hot chocolate, popcorn, and perhaps a bonfire?
Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman never looked so good!
Would THAT be worth coming to Morocco for?
I sure think so! PLUS you’ll get to pick our brains for 4 days – that in itself is priceless!
