Our yoga holidays near Marrakech in mystical Morocco
Come and join Chantal & Gareth for a 6 night yoga break at the stunning Tigmi hotel near Marrakech.
This is your opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and retreat to your home away from home Moroccan style!
31st - August - 6th September 2024
BOOKINGS OPEN!
THE VENUE
Tigmi has been the called the 'best little hotel in the world' and is situated between Marrakech and the Atlas mountains. Tucked away from the hubbub of Marrakech on the outskirts of a traditional Moroccan Berber village, you’ll find a retreat hotel that will redefine your idea of relaxation.
Tigmi is no ordinary hotel. Meandering corridors and courtyard paths lead to beautifully furnished rooms, all with ensuite bathrooms. With two pools to chill out by after yoga or lunch you can also take time to explore the charming gardens and discover Tigmi’s quietest corners. After sunset enjoy traditional Moroccan cuisine, maybe a glass of wine with the snow-capped Atlas mountains and the lights of Marrakech as a backdrop.
Approaching along a very bumpy track you could be forgiven for thinking your driver has taken a wrong turn - but once inside Tigmi's comforting surroundings, your normal busy life and the bustle of Marrakech traffic begins immediately to fade.
Within hours you'll start to relax and after a few days you are moving only as fast as Tigmi's resident tortoises!

YOUR DAY
We start the yoga practice on Sunday morning with a session to stretch out those tired muscles after travelling and to prepare you for a day of relaxation! All yoga classes will be mixed ability so suitable for beginners and more experienced yoga practitioners with a final class on the evening of Thursday 5th September.
During the rest of the week, yoga will be twice daily 8am - 9.15am and 5pm - 6.15pm with the daytimes being left free to have a wonderful treatment at the Hammam, a traditional Moroccan spa, (highly recommended by Chantal!), take a walk in the surrounding area or just laze by the pool and watch the resident tortoises get on with their day!
There’ll be time to take a trip into Marrakech to visit the souks and to see the wonderful Jemma el-Fnaa square come alive in the early evening with snake charmers, storytellers and stalls!
THE FOOD
The meals are traditional Moroccan fare cooked up by the friendly and always smiling chef! Before yoga in the morning, teas and coffee are laid out for us in case you can’t do without! Breakfast (after yoga of course) consists of fruits, omelettes, hard/soft boiled eggs and traditional pancakes and breads.
Lunch is a wonderful buffet display of lots of varied and tasty salads eg, a feta cheese and olive salad, potato salad with spices, roasted peppers, Moroccan style pizzas, stuffed artichokes and tomatoes, bean salad etc etc….
Dinner is 3 courses with meat, fish and vegetarian options depending on what’s in season and what you’ve opted for in advance. Gluten and dairy free options can be arranged.
THE COSTS per person
Single occupancy of a spacious double ensuite room: £1215
Twin/double occupancy of a spacious double/twin room: £955
TRAVEL
There are many many airlines that fly into Marrakech so the choice is yours! Transfers can be arranged at any time during the day. We will arrange these with the hotel. Departures on the Friday also can be at anytime. Sometimes our guests arrive a day early and leave a day or two later. We’ve often done this due to flight times and prices and to make the most of this stunning venue and location :-)
