Details
Day 1
Welcome to Marrakech – enjoy a free night to explore the resort and this vibrant city
Morocco welcomes you with open arms in the bustling city of Marrakech – the heart and soul of the country. This area is home to energetic markets, chic palaces, gorgeous mosques, and lush gardens. From the souks to the desert, this place has it all! Our transfer will take us to our accommodations. Once settled, you're welcome to begin exploring the medina during free time. You can wander through the winding streets at your own pace or simply hang back at the lush property and soak in some sun by the pool. You can head into the medina and experience the energy of the souks or hang back at the resort. The choice is yours! We will come together in the evening for welcome games, meet & greet and a wonderful welcome dinner at La Cours de Lions.
Day 2
Explore the medina with a private guide and personal photographer
Rise and shine to our first full day in Marrakech! We have so many wonderful things in store today. We’ll start with a delicious breakfast spread before making our way into the medina with a local guide who will help us explore the spice markets, souks, handicraft workshops, and the Secret Garden hidden among it all. The best part? We’ll have a personal photographer with us to capture all the joy and IG moments while we explore! While this lunch is not included, we can still eat together as a group in the medina. Terrace de Epices in the heart of the area has been recommended.
Enjoy free time in the medina before an elevated dinner at L’Asiatique par Jean-Georges
After lunch, you’ll have ample free time to explore the medina at your own pace, do some souvenir shopping, and relax at the posh resort. When the sun sets, we’ll get dressed up and meet as a group for an exquisite meal at La Mamounia. L’Asiatique is an original creation by chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten that sends guests on a culinary journey from southeast Asia to the farthest reaches of Japan. Here, we will indulge in comforting curries, finely sliced crunchy vegetables and first-class sushi, along with an array of exquisite dishes and specials that are said to leave you speechless.
Day 3
Spend the day in the Agafay Desert and experience a photoshoot, lunch, and a camel ride!
Good morning to another beautiful day in Morocco! The adventure begins as we head out to the Agafay Desert, a stone desert just outside of Marrakech. We’ll spend our day at The White Camel Lodge – a luxe campground with elevated food and activities of all kinds. Here, we’ll enjoy a ‘flying dress’ photoshoot at the pool. We’ll feel like celebs after this magical experience! We’ll break for lunch at Singita, the camp’s restaurant, where we can refuel for more desert fun. We’ll close out this unique experience with a camel trek across the sandy, rocky lands before heading back to the city. Upon returning to the resort, you’ll have some time to rest before heading off to our cooking class! We'll learn how to create traditional Moroccan dishes, but the real fun comes when we get to eat your own creations for dinner! Afterwards, we'll wind down from a great day and prepare for the next.
Day 4
Journey into the Atlas Mountains and get settled at your luxe resort with a massage and hammam experience
From the city to the country, we’re on the move, traveling into the Atlas Mountains to the village of Ourika. This area features an array of beautiful landscapes and tranquility that will give us space and energy to heal, grow, and connect with nature. Once we arrive and check in, we’ll get pampered at the resort’s spa! Enjoy a traditional hammam experience and massage to shift us fully into vacation mode. Lunch and dinner are not included on this day. You are welcome to enjoy your free time and relax by the pool, eat a delicious meal overlooking the valley, and simply breathe in the beauty of this Moroccan oasis.
Day 5
Free day to explore or do the optional hike followed by a farewell dinner to close out the retreat
It’s our last full day in Morocco, and that means we have to make it count! After breakfast, we’ll have free time until the farewell dinner. There's an optional gentle hike in the foothills of Mount Toubkal, the tallest peak in the Atlas Mountain range, for anyone interested. Breathe in that mountain air and reconnect your heart and soul to nature’s magic. You’ll have the day to spend as you wish. We will spend the evening together at the resort, where we can enjoy pool time, drinks, and a farewell dinner. This is the time to start saying your goodbyes and gratitude for an incredible week in Morocco!
Day 6
Say goodbye to the markets, mountains, and majesty of Morocco
Breathe in the beauty of the mountain landscape before a delicious breakfast overlooking the valley. Unfortunately, once we finish our meal, we’ll have to pack up and head to the airport to catch our flights. We'll take our transfer back to the city, scrolling through our camera rolls filled with memories. I hope you've had an amazing and transformative experience and are feeling rested and ready to attack your goals and dreams when you return home. Have a great flight and get ready for our next adventure!

FAQ
What do past retreat participants love about G's retreats?
I enjoyed all the interactions with everyone from the group. Always great meeting new people in a relaxing atmosphere. -L.S.
My trip with G was all I hoped for and more! I was a bit cautious attending the trip and not knowing anyone there, but G made us all feel comfortable and I left the trip gaining a bunch of new sisters! G. is thoughtful and meticulous in her panning of every aspect of the trip, and she made sure we had all we needed. From a curated chef-cooked menu to private massages, there was never a dull moment on this trip! I had the best time and have already put a down payment on my next trip with G. -D.M.
You all have me spoiled on these trips! It's hard to travel any other way now. -T.M.
