About Essaouira
The retreat takes place in the enchanting city of Essaouira, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its vibrant culture, historic charm and coastal beauty.
If I had to describe the vibe here, I’d say it’s friendly, soulful, creative, free-spirited & rich in culture.
The city has long been a magnet for musicians, artists, and creatives with a warm, welcoming community where music, art, and self-expression are part of everyday life.
The weather in Essaouira in September at the time of our retreat is typically warm, with average daytime highs of around 25 degrees, complemented by a refreshing ocean breeze from time to time - making it ideal for both relaxation and exploration.
Our Villa
The villa we’ll be staying in is a luxury private villa nestled in the quiet and peaceful countryside, just a 20 minute drive from Essaouira Mogador Airport.
The villa includes :
- A heated swimming pool
- Lush gardens
- An outdoor terrace and rooftop lounge
- Al fresco dining area
- Beautiful, spacious en-suite bedrooms
- Daily housekeeping
- A Pétanque court
With it’s exquisite decor and breathtaking views, it’s the perfect sanctuary to completely switch off, unwind and enjoy a blissful retreat experience.

The Food
All the food at the retreat will be provided by our local Moroccan in-house chef who will prepare 3 meals a day crafted from fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Vegan options will also be available.
An example of a typical breakfast includes freshly squeezed orange juice, Moroccon style pancakes, toast with an assortment of jams, eggs, cereal, fruit salad, mint tea and coffee.

Flights & Airport Transfers
Flights are currently very reasonably priced with return fares from just £77, and free airport transfers are included to and from the retreat villa if you book the recommended flights listed above.
I highly recommend booking your flights as soon as possible, as there is only one direct flight from London to Essaouira flying out on 13th September, and returning on 20th September 2026.
Check-in is from 4 pm on Sunday 13th September 2026 (although the villa manager will try and arrange an early check is possible nearer the time).
Check-out is by 10 am on Sunday 20th September 2026, so the flight times suggested should work perfectly.
Please ensure you take out travel insurance to protect yourself against illness, emergencies, or any changes in your circumstances that may require you to cancel your retreat booking.

This retreat is intentionally 8 days long & intimate because I want you to take back so much from this experience - whether that’s the courage & confidence to do poses you couldn’t do before, tools & insights that completely transform your spiritual practice, or perspective shifts that profoundly change how you handle challenges in your daily life.
Whatever your goals or desires are for this retreat, my intention is to be fully present to guide, support & help you bring them to life in every way I can. And on top of that, this gets to be a safe space where you can ask me anything you want, knowing that nothing is off the table for me when it comes sharing things that have helped me on my journey.
I want this retreat to exceed your expectations and be a truly special, unforgettable & deeply meaningful experience that stays with you long after the retreat ends. And if everything you’ve seen, felt & heard about this retreat resonates with you…it would be my greatest honour to have you there.
