Invitations open for 2027 and 2028

Join us for your next yoga retreat in Morocco.

We grew up here, and we'd love to show you the Morocco we know: a quiet, private villa outside Marrakech, organic meals cooked with love, and the chance to practice yoga right under the Atlas Mountains.

A private villa

The whole villa is ours for the week, with a pool in the garden and a rooftop facing the Atlas Mountains.

Food made with love

Our cooks make fresh, organic meals at the villa. Vegan, vegetarian or allergies: just tell us, and we'll plan around it.

We take care of you

We plan the whole week and coordinate every detail: a balanced schedule built around what you love to do, meals at the right times, and drivers who are always on time.

Room to go inward

With nothing to organise, you have room to go inward. We balance daily practice and rest with cultural activities, so you also get a real taste of Morocco.

Oto, founder of Morocco Yoga Retreat

Who we are

We're not a generic travel agency.

We focus on yoga, Morocco is home, and every guest is treated like family.

Hi, I'm Oto. I grew up in Morocco, and since 2006 I've welcomed friends, guests and group trips from all over the world. In 2014 I started a yoga website, then launched Yoga Panda, an app that helps the yoga community find and book local yoga classes. Through both I spent years working closely with yoga teachers and studio owners. In 2019 the next step felt natural: partnering with those teachers to host yoga retreats here in Morocco.

Our approach is simple: create a magical week that shows you the best of our culture, so every teacher and every guest leaves with great memories and new friends. We go above and beyond to make that happen.

We are boutique, not mass tourism. We get to know every person before they arrive, ask about their preferences up front, and shape the week around them.

Why Morocco?

The door to the East

Morocco sits where East meets West. It is close to Europe and rooted in Africa, with a blend of cultures you won't find anywhere else.

A rhythm that slows you down

Outside, the souks and markets of the old town are busy and loud. Inside our private villa, we slow down, watch the sunrise and share mint tea. Like real life, you can be busy and still find your ground, and that contrast is the magic of a retreat here.

Mountains, gardens, medina

From the villa it's easy to reach the history, tiles and architecture of central Marrakech, the calm of Majorelle Garden, and a hike in the Atlas Mountains. Nature on one side, the city on the other.

Your week

What a week
with us looks like.

Marrakech airport, where every guest is met on arrival
01 Getting around

A driver with you all week.

Someone from our team meets you at Marrakech airport with a sign. A driver takes the group everywhere all week, and drives you back for your flight home.

02 The villa

A Moroccan home, just for us.

The villa is a private home built around a tiled courtyard, with stained glass catching the light. It gives you the luxury of quiet in a busy city, and a place to connect with the people you came with.

03 The suites

Eight suites, each with its own bathroom.

Four are private rooms with a double bed, and four are shared rooms. Every suite has its own private bathroom.

04 Yoga practice

A practice planned with each teacher.

We work with each yoga teacher to plan every day's practice: a morning session, a sunset session, or both, depending on the day.

05 Exploration days

Afternoons of discovery.

We balance the week between active days and slow days. On exploration days we head out: a hike in the Atlas, Majorelle Garden, the medina, a cooking class and more, with something new to discover each time.

06 Slow days

Days to simply rest.

On slow days we stay at the villa and rest, with time by the pool, a massage or a hammam.

07 Meals

Never the same meal twice.

Most meals are Moroccan, balanced with international dishes, especially when we eat out. Our cooks are amazing, and Moroccan food is their specialty: tangia, the Marrakech specialty, and tagines of every kind. We plan the menu so you never eat the same meal twice and get to taste the whole kitchen. Meals are also when the group bonds.

08 The last evening

Until next time.

As the sun sets, you remember the quiet moments at the villa and everything you shared. We don't say goodbye, just until next time, and we hope to see you at the next retreat.

Snapshots

Memories from past retreats.

Our past guests came, had a wonderful time, and left as friends. We look forward to welcoming you and creating memories like these together.
