WELCOME TO ECOLODGE MARRAKECH
At our ecolodge, we believe that wellness and sustainability go hand in hand. We invite you to experience the magic of staying in an ecolodge during your wellness retreat and discover the many benefits it has to offer. In an area of 7 hectares surrounded by wheat fields and olive groves, with stunning views over the Atlas, two villages built of adobe include two rooms and Suites furnished and decorated in traditional Moroccan style. You will be staying in nature, in the quiet countryside, near the red town, museums, historic sites and cultural attractions. Our ecolodge is designed to minimize its impact on the environment. From our use of solar panels for energy to our rainwater harvesting system, we strive to be as eco-friendly as possible. Staying in an ecolodge is an excellent way to reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier planet.
Your itinerary
This retreat is all about coming back to yourself, re-harmonizing and connecting with and rekindling your authentic, powerful, natural spirit. And we promise lots of laughter and fun!
You’ll embrace new skills and ways of thinking, but you’ll also learn to surrender those thoughts and traits that are no longer servicing your overall well-being. This retreat is designed to help you connect with your inner teacher, power, passion and purpose through yoga, body purification and meditation.
You’ll come away feeling revitalized, and most importantly—powerful.

Atlas mountains tour:
Discover the beauty of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains and immerse yourself in the simple, authentic mountain life with our guided hike. We will visit the Berber villages of the Atlas Mountains on a full-day trip from Marrakech that explores broad valleys and lush orchards with views of Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa. But the highlight of the hike is the chance to visit the local villages and experience the simple mountain life firsthand. You’ll meet friendly locals, learn about their daily routines, and witness their unique customs and traditions.
Our guided hikes are suitable for all fitness levels and are a fantastic way to explore the natural beauty and cultural richness of the Atlas Mountains. Once we reach the top we will enjoy lunch on a terrace overlooking villages.

Testimonials
“Experience: Relaxing, Disconnecting, Empowering and Fulfilling to the Soul. My soul thanks you. 🙂Lessons: Figure out my goals (timeline between goals and wants). Re-evaluate my belief system. Need to know what makes my heart sings, what I love about myself. That I am more outgoing than I thought. I am easy going than I thought. I love myself just the way I am. Stop seeking outer validation. Be content within.”

“This retreat was beyond my expectation. I came here purely for yoga. The sessions and the discussions we had made me realize how much I can grow and develop. The whole program was very well organized. I highly recommend keeping a small amount of participant for such program. I think it was a good factor but really this trip is very successful”

“ Very beautiful experience. Truly exceeded my expectations.”
“My dear Laura, she made everything so easy for us. She was so flexible with the timing. She made me realise some things that I was afraid of and helped me be more aware of myself. I went on this retreat to find and connect myself and I left with so much more that. I gained new friends people who understand me. Journaling and meditation is what I took with me and I will definitely try to keep practicing it. This trip truly changed who I am and I am so grateful.” A, 2022
“I came to the retreat overwhelmed and stressed. Tired from the daily routine and was looking for a change but did not know where to start. With Laura’s guidance and coaching now I felt that I can take control of my life, love myself more and be more consistent with my practice.
Thank you Laura.” xoxo – M, 2022
