Tourism

Beginning in November 2015, Four Seasons Resort Marrakech is hosting a monthly holistic retreat allowing twelve fortunate guests to explore and focus on their core energies, physical wellbeing and inner balance.

Yogi Perumal Koshy accompanies guests on this wellness retreat, helping participants to develop their own yoga practice and find inner harmony in unique, sunny and relaxing settings. It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to energise and revitalise in the stunning Agafay desert, combining a sunset yoga class with authentic Moroccan culture. Participants are invited to succumb to the enchanted energies surrounding Andr Hellers botanical Eden where serenity takes all its meaning.

To add to the experience and help guests relax towards a sense of complete tranquility, the luxury brand ila Spa has created a bespoke program emphasising the benefits of balancing one's chakras. During intimate lecture and philosophic dialogue, ilas founder Denise Leicester will share her knowledge and insight of each chakras qualities and properties. Guests will be pampered with tailor-made natural treatments using the purest essential oils aimed to restore wellbeing. In the evening, participants nourish mind and soul with contemplative and sound healing meditation.

Extending its wellness approach to its culinary experience, the Resorts team of chefs have created a unique, natural and organic menu designed to help achieve health goals. Guests can treat themselves to a flavourful and seasonal cuisine using the best produce freshly handpicked from the Resorts organic garden.
