Luxury Wellness Retreat in Marrakech: Fitness, Yoga & Atlas Mountain Hiking

The retreat runs for seven nights (one date is five nights) at Villa Zin, a traditional private property in the countryside outside Marrakech with views towards the Atlas Mountains. The villa and its grounds are reserved for the retreat group only. Fitness and yoga classes are included in the daily schedule and take place in the expansive gardens, on the outdoor terrace or in the glasshouse. There's also a modern gym on site for anyone who wants to train outside the scheduled sessions.

Mornings usually start with a hike a short drive from the villa, in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. The rest of the day alternates between fitness sessions and yoga, with meals served at the villa. Because group sizes are small, the team — fitness trainers, yoga teachers and a nutritionist — works with each guest individually as well as in group sessions.

What separates this from a standard fitness retreat is the setting and the exclusivity. The villa is private, not a hotel, so the pool, gardens, terrace and glasshouse belong to your group for the week. The Atlas Mountains are close enough for morning hikes but the bustle of Marrakech is also within reach if you want an afternoon in the city. The spa and traditional Moroccan hammam are available as bookable extras rather than being built into the package.

The accommodation is in rooms and suites decorated in traditional Berber style, with local art and textiles, and each room has an en-suite bathroom. The heated outdoor pool, sun loungers and gardens are there for the hours between sessions.
