5 Day Roots & Sky: Moroccan Yoga Retreat
Ourika Valley, Marrakesh
Escape to a serene sanctuary perched high above Morocco’s lush Ourika Valley, just 45 minutes from Marrakech. Surrounded by the timeless beauty of the Atlas Mountains, The Soul Space invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what truly matters.
Each day unfolds with yoga, meditation, nourishing meals, and the gentle rhythm of nature. This is your invitation to step away from the noise, to restore balance, and to remember your own natural rhythm — held by earth, community, and the soft magic of Morocco.
Arrive: Friday 6th November from 3pm
Depart: Tuesday 10th November from 11am
As the sun begins to set behind the peaks, we gather for gentle evening practices bathed in golden light. These sessions invite softness — restorative movement, guided breath, and quiet reflection — creating space for everything the day has awakened to settle and integrate.
When night falls, the valley drifts into stillness. The sky opens wide, scattered with a thousand stars, and the air hums with the quiet rhythm of nature. Here, conversations fade into the crackle of the fire, and silence becomes its own form of connection.
Roots & Sky is more than a retreat — it is a return. A journey of grounding and expansion, of remembering what it feels like to belong fully to both earth and sky.
Each day flows gently, a balance of movement and rest, of breath and being — a space to slow down, to listen inward, and to rediscover the calm pulse of life itself.

Our retreat home rests on the edge of the National Park. From this quiet perch, panoramic views stretch across the valley and snow-dusted peaks. Fresh mountain air, gardens filled with birdsong, warm Moroccan sunshine, and starlit nights all create a profound sense of grounding and renewal — a true oasis within an oasis.
It’s an intimate space of understated luxury, the retreat features rooms across three levels, each with sweeping views of the Atlas Mountains and Ourika Valley.
Designed with authenticity and care, every room blends traditional Moroccan craftsmanship with natural materials, vintage furnishings, and soft, soulful details. The atmosphere invites deep rest and connection with the surrounding landscape.

The Kitchen team crafts a vibrant, wholesome menu inspired by the rhythms of the land. Each dish is prepared with fresh organic ingredients gathered from our kitchen gardens and the fertile Ourika Valley, a true celebration of Morocco’s seasonal abundance.
Meals are balanced, colourful, and deeply nourishing, blending the warmth of traditional Moroccan flavours with the lightness of Mediterranean influence and a touch of contemporary artistry. Every meal becomes an experience of connection, to nature, to community, and to the simple joy of beautiful food.
Our philosophy is one of harmony: food that is pure, wholesome, and alive. Rooted in the earth yet elevated in flavor, it reflects the soul of Morocco, generous, colourful, and full of life.
