Holiday itinerary

Day 1 - Arrive in Marrakech
Meet our tour leader at our riad accommodation. We then depart for the heart of the souq and an evening meal on the famous Jma el Fna plaza.

Day 2 - Marrakech and to Essaouira
Marrakech is Morocco’s elegant southern capital, a city swathed in history and the exotic. Scattered through the old medina are picturesque riads, many now converted into boutique hotels. This morning we have a guided visit through this enormous souq; a unique experience of plush slippers, copper sinks, rare stones, spices and everything in between. After lunch we travel to Essaouira where we check into an 18th century town house, followed by evening yoga class by the sea.

Day 3&4- In Essaouira
A morning’s yoga class before an orientation walk around this bohemian seaside town. Essaouira was Jimi Hendrix’s favourite haunt in the 1970s - the guitarist Hendrix loved the town’s café society. Today the French influence is still strong: battered Renaults potter past small eateries serving pain au chocolate, café au lait and tasty baguettes. We have two full days here for personal exploration of Essaouira's hidden alleys, galleries, and world-famous seafood cuisine.

Day 5 & 6 - Sidi Kaouki
A morning yoga class before a short drive to the tiny beach side settlement of Sidi Kaouki. Set on a vast, empty shoreline, Sidi Kaouki is a tiny village set in gloriously isolated countryside. The pristine beach is a favourite for windsurfers and surfers alike - it's also perfect for yoga practice. Our hotel looks over a landscape of wild olive groves in which camels graze and shepherds herd their goat flocks. As well as a swimming pool there's the windsurfing, surfing, horse-riding and delicious Moroccan food and teas - the perfect spot for two days' of yoga, relaxation and enjoying the sun.

Day 7 - To Marrakech
After a morning’s yoga class we say goodbye to the sea and head inland again and back to Marrakech. On arrival to the city we check in to our Riad and the rest of the day is free for exploring this fascinating city. In the afternoon there’s a chance to visit a beautiful hammam before our final meal together in the heart of the souq.
