Morocco Yoga and Hiking Holidays: Atlas Mountains, Marrakech and Essaouira

The Atlas Mountains holiday runs for four nights and five days at a hiking lodge deep in the High Atlas, with Mount Toubkal in view. Hikes are included every day and are led by local guides; the operator notes that the guides take guests to their friends' shops so you still get a souk experience without going into Marrakech. This is the most active of the three trips. Transfers are arranged from Marrakech airport, with one group transfer each way based on recommended flight times — if you book flights outside those times you either wait at the airport or pay for a separate transfer.

The Marrakech holiday is seven nights at a venue in a Berber village on the outskirts of the city, about 20 minutes from the centre. Yoga runs at the venue, a guided tour of Marrakech is included, and you can go back into the city on your own on other days. If you want more activity, there is a guided hike into the Atlas Mountains you can join; if you don't, the pool and the spa centre with its hammam and massage are on site. This is the trip the operator describes as the most relaxing of the three.

The Essaouira holiday is five nights and six days at an eco venue in the coastal town, which is known for water sports. It is pitched as a balance of active and relaxing — you can surf or try other water sports, or stay at the venue and take it easy. Essaouira is a new destination for the operator for 2025. Like the other two trips, transfers from Marrakech airport are arranged around recommended flight times, with the same rule about booking outside them.

Across all three holidays, meals are included, yoga mats are provided at the venues, and traditional Moroccan spa treatments such as hammams and massages are available. The operator suggests bringing your own hairdryer if you need one. The page does not list the yoga teachers, the exact daily timetable, room types or group sizes for any of the three trips, so those details would need to be confirmed with the operator before booking.
