Morocco·15 - 21 April 2028
Final dates TBD. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking vistas of North Africa with a curated mix of cultural excursions.
Final Dates + Pricing are TBD. We’ll be staying on a private estate curated for rest, relaxation, exotic meals and exploration of the grounds, but just close enough to the city of Marrakech to have everything in town at our fingertips: shopping in the souks, venturing through the medina, camel treks in the desert and other cultural experiences that can only be had in Morocco. Whether you're hiking in the Atlas Mountains or learning how to cook using Moroccan techniques and spices - you'll have plenty of time to soak up the life-changing experience that an authentic trip to this beautiful north African country offers. - Group Size: 12-15 guests - Luxury Score: 4.5 (out of 5) - Activity Score: 3.5 (out of 5) - Active + Walking Tours - Cuisine: Omnivore (Meat Offered) - Pricing: Low $4000s per person (Double Occupancy)
Meander through Marrkaech’s medinas and souks on a guided tour of the world famous markets that dreams are made of! From famous carpets to handprinted pottery to almost anything you can dream up - there's something for everyone.
Visit local landmarks and garden hideaways such as Dar Al Bacha - a intricately tiled labyrinth of a palace. We'll have local guides who are experts on the museums and other points of interest we'll see.
Retreat into exotic luxury into an oasis in the vast and breathtaking desert landscape of Morocco. This beautiful property is about 20 minutes outside of the hectic city center and is nestled in an olive grove. A perfect respite to return to after a day filled with cultural adventures.
Spend an afternoon off-site exploring the slower pace in the Atlas Mountains and enjoy your choice of a 45 minute walk or an epic 90 min hike near the foot of the tallest peak in North Africa. Enjoy a local lunch with picturesque views at the summit!
We will head out to a picturesque desert oasis camp about an hour outside of town for an afternoon that will include a guided camel trek and luxury tented lunch set up. A truly once-in-a-lifetime experience!
The entire property (reserved exclusively for Above Yoga guests) is dripping with eclectic Moroccan style and textiles. One of the owners is a designer and it shows throughout the luxury villa. You will never stay somewhere else this unique again!
The cuisine will reflect Middle Eastern, African, Mediterranean influences and combines spices and herbs - a great mix of modern and traditional Moroccan styles. Think couscous, lamb meatballs, falafel and veggie tagines.
Enjoy 1-2 yoga classes daily as well as mindfulness workshops like guided journaling or meditation. We have a fully equipped yoga shala on site tucked away in the gardens.
One day we'll enjoy a Moroccan style cooking class where we will learn all about Moroccan herbs, spices -- including creating their famous dish "tajine / tagine" and get to taste all the items that we make for an elaborate lunch in a garden setting.
Each Above Yoga retreat has an on-site leader(s) and certified yoga teachers who will be present to facilitate the retreat. We find that an opportunity to participate in a variety of classes with various teaching styles adds to our guests’ overall retreat experience. Leaders or teachers are subject to change without notice.
This will be Above Yoga's 6th retreat to Morocco since 2021. We will be announcing our retreat leaders and co-teachers soon!

Maybe places like Morocco have always been on your “must-see” list but you aren’t sure where to start for planning a trip there? You could scour Instagram for inspiration, read countless blogs about what to do and how to dress while you’re there, spend hours scrolling through TripAdvisor reviews on hotels - or you could skip all that and have it all planned for you by a team who has been in country 8 times over the last decade. When you join any of our retreats you’ll immediately receive a FAQ email with suggestions for flights, airports. You'll also be added to our private dedicated Facebook group with your fellow travelers where updates and additional information will be added often. We'll also host a pre-retreat Zoom about 6-8 months before the trip. Then a month before our adventure, you’ll receive a detailed itinerary, a suggested packing list and full information about how you’ll be picked up from the airport. Let someone else handle all the planning and logistics for you!
Given the Muslim conservative religion and culture, proper attire is key while in Morocco. While in town, plan to cover legs, shoulders and chest (esp. women) with loose clothing to avoid unwanted attention and show respect. Light scarves are great for extra modesty. While at the retreat center, ANY type of attire is fine. Also note that many local restaurants do not serve alcohol. There will be an option to have a drink a few nights at the retreat center, but if alcohol is central to your fun on vacations, this is not the retreat for you.
Average temperatures for this time of year will be in the 70s as highs and in the 50s at night. There should be little to no rain, and plenty of sunshine if you want to lounge by the pool! Keep in mind you will need to dress modestly while in town, so thin, loose layers (think scarves, light jackets for day and warmer layers for night), are great for Morocco!
I don't even know how to capture my thoughts about this retreat in order to appropriately convey the amazing experience. Morocco has been a dream of mine for so long, and my experience there with Above Yoga was everything I dreamed of and more. The resort itself was like out of a dream. It was beautiful and every detail was thoughtfully curated and gorgeous. Everyone felt so comfortable and peaceful that we walked around barefoot,, felt safe with unlocked doors and lounged/socialized in each other's "living rooms" and rooftops. The excursions were the perfect amount of history/info, relaxation and exploration. I loved everything we did and learned. There was plenty of free time to do things on your own or the option to stay back at the property and chill. Of course the most incredible part was the people I had the privilege to share the retreat with. We all meshed so well, and I walk away feeling like I have new friends all over the country. My only wish is that I had more time there!

I recently returned from Above Yoga’s retreat in Marrakech, and it’s hard to say just how incredible the experience was. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully planned and beautifully executed, creating what was truly a once-in-a-lifetime journey. The trip's real highlights were the experiences of Above Yoga curated beyond the retreat center. The trip into the High Atlas Mountains was unforgettable. The drive alone was breathtaking, but arriving at the mountain hotel and stepping out to see the view of the valley was something I will never forget. It was, without question, the most beautiful view I’ve ever seen. Our adventures in the desert were equally remarkable. Riding camels across the dunes and exploring the vast desert on ATVs were two of the most memorable and awe-inspiring experiences I’ve ever had. Those moments — surrounded by silence, sand, and endless horizon — truly felt like something you only get to do once in your lifetime. And the visit to the spa was the perfect finishing touch. The traditional hammam, followed by an incredible massage and time spent in the ornate, luxurious pools, was an experience in complete relaxation and indulgence — truly world-class. Above Yoga put together a retreat that was far more than just a trip. It was immersive, thoughtfully designed, and filled with moments that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I cannot recommend this experience enough — it was extraordinary in every way.

This was the perfect adult vacation and exceeded our expectations! It was the right amount of free time and planned activity, and we never felt pressured to do something that we didn’t want to do. We would have never known how to plan these activities on our own with the detail put into them. The food was amazing at the venue; not a bad meal. You assembled an amazing group of humans, and we are excited to do another trip! Thank you for the variety of different yoga classes. As beginners, we enjoyed learning about the different types and never felt intimidated by the experience.

Another amazing Above Yoga experience! From initial sign up to end of retreat transportation to the airport there was excellent communication. I love traveling with Above Yoga because all I have to do is get my airline ticket and show up - I know that it will be a beautifully curated trip in an amazing location. There was the perfect amount of planned activities vs. free time. I have loved all of the properties I have stayed at, but I think that this one was my favorite. I loved being able to hear the call to prayer - even though I couldn't understand anything, there was something so beautiful about it. The property is absolutely stunning, the staff is attentive and helpful, and the food is delicious.

The Morocco trip not only exceeded my expectations but my wildest dreams too. First off, I’m kind of an extreme planner and not one to just wing it on a trip, but don’t have the time to plan this kind of trip on my own. Anna took all the stress out of it. The itinerary she curated for us was perfection and I really felt like I could just show up and let her lead the way (which never happens in my real life). For the excursions, she truly found the best, most magical version of every core experience for Marrakesh - lunch nestled in Atlas Mountains and camel riding in the desert we’re both true highlights/once in a lifetime for me. We’re not really yogis, but enjoyed morning yoga a few times and it was a great way to start our day. This trip was amazing and I can’t wait to experience another new place with Above Yoga.

I can’t tell you how amazing it was for a week away where I didn’t have to think, do anything for anyone else, and could just show up and be. You took the time to so carefully choose everything for the full Marrakech picture that I left confident I got the best experience possible. Plus, the yoga really helped me take time to think about myself and my needs that I haven’t been granting myself at home over the last couple weeks. It was some healing I didn’t know I needed. The retreat center was PERFECT, gorgeous, with delicious food and the safest driver I've ever had internationally.

This trip to Marrakech was a once-in-a-lifetime experience full of so many amazing cultural experiences, including time exploring the markets, architecture, camels, cooking, hiking, and more! This is a trip I would hesitate to make on my own, but from pre-retreat packing lists to arranged transportation/meals/excursions, I felt comfortable every step of the way! Our retreat center was the most beautiful and zen little secret garden, providing amble space to rest and recharge after busy days. I cannot wait for my next Above Yoga retreat!
Laura S., Durham, NC (2023)
All of the communication before, during, and after the retreat was amazing - you were never left wondering what was going on. Everything was planned perfectly, the retreat property was amazing, and the food was divine. It really was a life changing experience, and I think a lot of that was due to the planned activities and the structure of the retreat. Marrakech and the surrounding areas are a must see, but Above Yoga made it a bucket list destination.
Allie H., Durham, NC (2023)
This was my first trip across the Atlantic and Anna could not have made it easier! She provided just the right amount of information leading up to the trip so that I knew how best to prepare. Upon arrival, even after delayed flights, Anna made sure that we had a smooth arrival to the resort and that someone would be there to greet us even at our late arrival. The resort was incredible. From the location to the food to the staff, everything exceeded my expectations. The rooms were spectacular and Anna made sure to add a personal touch for each guest. I had long dreamed of visiting Morocco, but I had no idea how to begin planning such a trip. Anna's itinerary included all of the things you'd want to see as a tourist, but it also included a few excursions that I would have never been able to find on my own, like the cooking class! Overall, the trip was an incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience and I am so grateful to have had Anna guide us through it all.
