The Kasbah
Your accommodation is based 24 kilometers outside of Marrakech in a small Berber village, its narrow alleyways and flat-roofed village houses are made from packed mud and water giving them an earthy color and warm glow.
The main area of their yoga hotel was built in 1840. From the outside, it looks unassuming, walk-in and it opens up into a peaceful and stylish space with a large heated outdoor pool and relaxation area with views of Marrakech and the Atlas mountains beyond.
With lawns, corridors, and courtyards shrouded by banana palms, citrus, and olive trees, and the scents and colors of orange blossom and roses assail the senses. You may even meet the odd tortoise!
When you aren’t off adventuring, there is time to relax in your spacious private Berber-designed hotel with two yoga spaces, two pools, and plenty of outdoor lounging space with Moroccan courtyards and bougainvillea romantically spilling over from private balconies.
For a really relaxing day spend it at the Hamam and spa. Feel invigorated with the Moroccan-style Hammam experience followed by a soothing massage. Float back to your room or relax by the pool or in one of the many courtyards.
Whatever it is you decide to do, there are 3 hours of yoga a day in the outdoor yoga Shala to re-energize and revitalize throughout the week.
Enjoy three meals a day whilst at the hotel and enjoy each day as it comes. It is your holiday so be as active or relaxed as you like.
