Food
Ayurvedic meals (defined by food prepared with ingredients to support imbalances in the individual doshas) are served during the retreat which helps in detoxifying and balancing the body for practices and can be customized to each person’s specific doshic needs (see more on doshas here). Besides nutritional value, we love to give a glimpse of the local food taste of the region we are residing in.
While the meals will not be strictly vegan or even vegetarian, they will be prepared to support the retreat practices and are considered “Clean Eating”. The food is seasoned with mild spices, which are an important part of the Ayurvedic diet.
Any preference for Vegan, Vegetarian and Dairy or Gluten-free diets can comfortably be managed.
Self Care Rituals
An important part of the retreat will self-care rituals. Aligned with Ayurvedic principals and practices, a set of daily rituals will be introduced and attendees are encouraged to try. In addition, each attendee will have one complimentary massage or facial included in the retreat and can opt into additional treatments if they choose.
Attendees will gain the knowledge of self-care rituals and practices to easily incorporate them into their daily life back home.
Retreat Accommodation
7 minutes from Jemaa el Fna Square, in one of the largest gardens in the medina, Riad el Arsat is an intimate and spacious place, combining luxury, charm and ancient traditions of Morocco.
With a large swimming pool, a spa, huge galleries and large terraces, Riad el Arsat is one of the last historic palaces in the medina that was presented on the luxury TV channel during the Marrakech Film Festival 2007. The palace was built by the Kabbaj family in the late nineteenth century and was broken up in the 60s, after the death of the owner. It has been renovated with the greatest respect for the original architecture by Nicole Arbousset who has created an atmosphere subtly inspired by the thirties and oriental art revisited and to whom we owe the restoration of the old unity.
For its authenticity and originality, it has been recognized as an exceptional place in the medina, a haven of peace for lovers on their honeymoon. The sweetness of Marrakech awaits you in the sumptuous living room with 30s decoration by the fireplace, or by the pool or pool with its water lilies.
