A unique, all-inclusive 5 night retreat experience in Marrakech.
Join 10 other women from around the world, arriving in Marrakech solo and coming together to experience the realness and wonder of Morocco within the fun, safety and comfort of a small group.
Together we’ll explore the pink souks, stone dessert, berber villages and green valleys of this diverse and dreamy spot in North Africa.
Meeting inspiring badass women who are doing amazing things in Morocco, has become a very special part of our Retreats. We partner with and collaborate with women-owned businesses for every part of our trip, meaning booking your spot also feeds into the Female Economy of Morocco too!
Our trips go beyond the typical tourist path, we’re SO passionate about inviting our guests to experience the realness of the places we visit and people we meet. We curate our retreats to deliver unique adventures and special moments that make you feel part of a place.
this is a Rumours Realness Retreat.
TO GO SOLO, WITHOUT DOING IT ALONE
If you’ve had Morocco on your bucket list, but have perhaps felt a little hesitant to visit this country alone, this is for you.
We have intentionally designed our retreats to be a safe, unique and exciting way to experience Marrakech, without you having to worry about tackling it solo!
I’ve travelled and lived all over the world, and Marrakech is one of my most loved destinations, this is because of the rich culture, diverse landscape, creative people and let’s be honest… the food! I’ve made it my mission to uncover and seek out wonderful insider experiences, people and spots that make our Retreats so very special.
You get to arrive with zero plans, stress or worry, and know that every detail is taken care of.
You get to explore this epic land in the comfort of our little group, with the support of me your experienced host, all the while feeling the freedom to enjoy each moment for yourself!
IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE REALNESS
your entire experience is sorted...
…from moment you step outside the airport, all the logistics is taken care of, so you can relax and enjoy every moment. We meet you at the door!
let’s talk itinerary…
We explore the magical local souks, meeting the female makers and creatives of Marrakech, and getting crafty ourselves! You’ll be able to taste a variation of local delights and lose yourself in the rich culture of the ochre city… without actually getting lost!
We’ll step outside the city to delve into the green valleys of Ourika, and you’ll be invited into the villages of our Berber friends, to meet some incredible game-changing female artisans, and experience some local home cooking.
A drive up through the wild roads of the Atlas Mountains will take us to the magical Unesco site of a sprawling Kasbahs, where we’ll be welcomed by the only female artist of the region (who is a creative powerhouse btw!)
Spending some time in the Agafay desert, meeting the camel caravans, taking a dip in the desert pool, before dining under the stars in the beauty of the berber desert camps.
So many more special moments including carpet co-operatives, argan associations, cooking classes and plenty of photo opportunities!

“I loved the Rumours Morocco retreat! It was like the best vacation with best friends I didn’t even know I had! There is also something to be said for a female-only tour group – such a supportive atmosphere of women helping women, and also supporting female-led businesses every step of the way. It felt great to give back whilst also getting inspired!”
