THE EXPERIENCE

Our glorious home for the week will be Peacock Pavilions, a handmade, artisanal boutique hotel in an olive grove on the outskirts of Marrakech.

We will have exclusive use of the whole property for our retreat week.

Peacock Pavilions has been featured on CNN International and HGTV, as well as in the New York Times, Elle Decor and in multiple travel guides.

The hotel features a pool, outdoor gym, outdoor cinema, yoga pavilion, and a painted dining tent. 

Peacock Pavilions was designed to promote wellbeing and fun.

Our retreat will include a guided tour in beautiful Marrakech.  Fancy more time in The Red City?  We can arrange transportation for you to return there whenever you like during the week for all the sightseeing, eating, and shopping your heart desires.

Other optional cultural activities that we can arrange include:
Moroccan Wine Tasting 
Moroccan Cooking Class
Lunch + Hiking in the Atlas Mountains
Traditional Hammam/Spa

Please note: optional excursions must be booked & confirmed with payment 30 days before the retreat begins.  

 We provide a fixed daily menu, served family-style, that relies on local, fresh ingredients, some from our own gardens.

Breakfast – fresh bread baked daily from the village’s communal bread oven (rebuilt as part of our charity, Project Soar), homemade jams, eggs or muffins, yogurt, fruit, just-squeezed juice, coffee, and tea.

Lunch – light and fresh (soups, salads, tarts, etc.) served with cookies or fruit for dessert.

Dinner – three delicious courses, served by candlelight, ending in an herbal infusion from the garden to help you sleep.

Peacock Pavilions is proud to be a hotel that gives back.

In 2013, Peacock Pavilions’ owners, Maryam and Chris, founded Project Soar, a non-profit organization that seeks to uplift underserved teen girls. Each Soar Girl receives over 50 hours of empowerment activities a year with our girl centered curriculum that helps each girl understand her value, her voice, her body, her rights and her path.
