Each seven-night session is limited to a maximum of 16 guests, so that each person received the attention and quality of service they deserve. Join us and experience the vast wonders of this exotic city; a combination of luxurious accommodations, yoga & exercise, rich Arabic traditions, chaotic marketplaces, hidden treasures of the Medina (ancient walled city), and breathtaking natural beauty- from the desert to the mountains. Along with the cultural and natural wonders, guests will enjoy relaxing massages, facials & belly dancing lessons. Guests will also savor the culinary delights that Morocco has become famous for, while learning to make these recipes at home, with a healthy ESCAPE TO SHAPE twist.
While in Marrakech guests will stay in an authentic Moroccan desert style home, perfectly situated between the majestic Atlas Mountains and the exotic Medina.
