MEDINA RETREAT
Year-Round Yoga Retreat in Marrakech's Medina
With our stunning Medina Retreat, we believe location, service, cuisine, and activities come together to form an experience you won’t forget in a hurry!
Within the magical Medina of Marrakech, there are many special areas that take the breath away. Fortunately, this beautiful yoga retreat centre is in one of them; Kasbah. As well as being stunning aesthetically, this is also an area that’s well-maintained, quiet, and safe for all visitors. For a Marrakech yoga retreat, it’s the ideal location.
Although only 600 metres from the city centre, the doors of the Riad close and visitors are greeted with silence. Despite this hub of relaxation, there’s still plenty to see and do nearby with the Badi Palace, Saadian Tombs, and Place Jemma El Fna all within a short walk.

When it comes to authenticity and architecture, Kasbah is rich. As well as the locations we’ve already mentioned, Place des Ferblantiers and Bahia Palace are also nearby. Once you arrive, you’ll be welcomed with a smile from our fantastic staff members. With the sole purpose of taking care of your every need, you’ll see the famous Moroccan hospitality up close.
With the house itself, it offers a traditional Moroccan style at the end of a narrow Medina street. With a door in zouak, ceramic tiles, columns of tadelakt, and organzas (thin sheets of fabric), it’s a haven away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Rather than forcing your way through heaving bazaars, you can relax on the patio alongside banana trees and bougainvillea.
Although away from the noise, you won’t be in the middle of nowhere. Just a couple of minutes away by foot, you’ll come across the wonderful sights and sounds of the jewels and spices souk.

Workshops
Offering an abundance of knowledge on Marrakech and its traditions, our staff are the ideal people to ask for activities and workshops. Depending on what you enjoy, you and your fellow guests can choose anything from gastronomy to belly dancing. In between, you’ll find local crafts, playing the well-known Djembe, and more.
We like to offer something for everyone, so be sure to ask about the workshops running during your own stay. While on your Marrakech yoga retreat, light the flame of learning in the mind and pander to your own curiosity (something we don’t do enough at home!). Our team would love to ensure a positive experience for you all.

As a Marrakech yoga retreat, we’re all about wellbeing; this is why we exist. With this in mind, you’ll have plenty of options including massages, a spa, steam room, pedicures, manicures, and whatever you need to forget about work and concentrate on YOU. Even if you’ve never been on a retreat like this before, why not allow yourself some new experiences in a beautiful part of the world?
In addition to relaxing and being cared for, some people like to explore Marrakech and we can help in this regard. We can provide you with advice for your trip, and we even help organise amazing excursions around the city. Marrakech is an open book just waiting to be explored. Near the city, you can discover some unbelievable sights and walks with views that wouldn’t look out of place on a postcard.

On-Site Catering:
Now, we reach the section for which food lovers have been waiting since the start. Not only does our retreat have catering specialists on site, you can also choose exactly where you want to enjoy the delicious local cuisine. Will you choose the first-floor dining room or perhaps the roof terrace?
Specialising in Mediterranean and Moroccan dishes, our cooks love to work with magnificent ingredients and will always be available to adhere to your requests. For some, it’s all about seafood and you can enjoy clams, oysters of Oualidia, sea urchins, prawns, and crabs. For others, they prefer vegan dishes and our team will cater to your needs. If you want to learn how to prepare and cook some of the most succulent flavours during your stay, feel free to choose the cooking workshop.

Combination of Old and New
During your stay, you’ll hopefully notice the traditional Moroccan cuisine and the way it has been modified for the requirements of modern gastronomy. As a prime example, our vegan restoration is an explosion of flavour in the mouth with a selection of amazing spices. For vegans, the choice of dishes will keep you smiling, and we prepare absolutely everything on-site (even the bread!).

During your Marrakech yoga retreat, we want you to be comfortable and this is why we offer three different types of room. Despite their differences, they’ve all been created with your experience in mind. We wanted to create a relaxing space while also reflecting the beauty and tradition of the city. Additionally, we went for Moroccan craftsmanship which adds to the authentic experience.
As soon as you walk in, you’ll notice a theme; comfort. While retaining the charm of this quaint house, everything has been designed for your comfort. Alongside towels and linens, we’ll also provide tea and cupcakes, office/sitting areas, free WiFi, and even some board games.
Firstly, we have the Classic Double Room which offer picturesque views of the patio area and a private bathroom. Next, the Superior Double Room is exactly that. With more space and still overlooking the patio, you’ll have air conditioning, a private bathroom, and a shower. Finally, the Double Deluxe Room or Twin Beds offers the same traditional Moroccan style but with even more space, a larger bed, and bathrobes with fruit cups.

HER TESTIMONIALS
Your Morocco yoga teacher is Ines Stephan. Ines began a yoga practice with her father as a teenager while competing in sports. She was a former downhill skier, hockey player and top two in Germany for badminton in the division under 14. After the spark of her father she continued studying through books such as André van Lysebeth, Gabriella Cella Al-Chamali and the Bihar School of Yoga from Swami Satyananda Saraswati. Hers was a multi-discipline solo yoga practice spanning twenty five years throughout a dynamic film career. Colleagues always observed Ines with yoga books and magazine cutouts for personal study. This was a yoga path paralleling a stressful film production career. As the first female film producer in Italy yoga was her strength to face challenges that one can only imagine.
