Amana Retreats invites you to embark on a transformative escape in the serene Marrakech countryside.
Nestled amidst olive groves and framed by the majestic Atlas Mountains and Agafay Desert, these retreats promise a harmonious blend of relaxation, adventure, and self-discovery.
Founded by Yasmina, a pioneer in bespoke wellness journeys since 2016, with a background in hospitality, the retreats combine years of expertise in wellness and travel to deliver exceptional, personalised experiences. Born and raised in London, but of Moroccan heritage, she has trained in many modalities over the last decade including yoga, nutrition, meditation, sound healing, Reiki, coaching and EFT.
Inclusivity and connection are at the heart of each Amana retreat, infused with Yasmina’s insight into Moroccan culture, and her love for the local cuisine and plant-based living, and delivered in collaboration with leading experts in a range of disciplines. Each experience is bespoke but always designed to nurture mind, body, and soul, blending ancient wisdom with modern science through practices such as yoga, meditation, somatic healing, dance, sound, martial arts, fitness, movement, and mindful living.
The purpose-built retreat property is intentionally intimate, with each journey kept to a maximum of twelve guests, to ensure that each person receives one-to-one attention for a tailored experience, and has ample space for discovery and transformation.

Guests will stay in an intimate purpose-built retreat farmhouse just 25 minutes from Marrakech Airport, surrounded by acres of olive groves.

Real Stories, Real Change: Guest Reflections from Amana Retreats
“Your retreat was genuinely life-changing. Such an important step in my awakening. You seriously unlocked something by teaching me to dowse and getting my energy flowing – everything feels like it is naturally slipping into place.”
“I have never felt so looked after in my adult life. I feel that I have had a ‘reset’ and regained the calm and clarity that working in the NHS as a doctor, raising a family, and hitting perimenopause has sucked out of me.”
