Souks, Spa & Sea in Morocco
Explore the luxury of Marrakech & Essaouira | September 11-18, 2027
Ok, let's be honest — Morocco has a way of getting under your skin, and this trip is built to give you the best of it in one unforgettable week. We're kicking things off in the beating heart of Marrakech: four days deep in the ancient medina, where a guide leads you through labyrinthine souks dripping in hammered brass and hand-stitched treasures, and a proper hammam ritual melts away every last bit of travel stress. Hot afternoons are yours to spend by the rooftop plunge pool with a drink in hand, watching the city shimmer below, and evenings call for your best kaftan, a candlelit dinner, and wine poured generously among new friends.
On day five, we trade the medina's magic for the windswept, bohemian charm of the Essaouira countryside — two days of easy seaside time, a wander through Essaouira's own storied medina, and an argan oil ritual that connects you to a centuries-old Moroccan tradition, paired with local wine and cheese because, why not.
Then, it's back to Marrakech for one final night of celebration: a great dinner, a live performance, and the kind of lingering, laugh-filled evening that reminds you this is exactly the trip you needed. We'll sprinkle in some grounding daily movement throughout, too, to keep everyone feeling good.
How This Trip Works
This trip is partially self-guided — a mix of guided experiences and free time, so you get the best of both. A local female guide will be with the group for all of the cultural experiences, tours, and some of the meals, so you're never navigating the medina's twists and turns solo (unless you want to). Alongside that, we build in real pockets of unstructured time — space to hang solo, pair off with a buddy, or explore as a full group, whatever sounds good that day. We'll send along suggestions and simple how-to's for getting around and doing things on your own, so that free time still feels easy, not overwhelming. It's the sweet spot between a fully guided trip and total independence — plenty of guidance when you want it, plenty of room to make the trip your own.
