The final day was a free day to spend however you wanted.

📌 breakfast in the riad with our last fresh squeezed orange juice

📌 exploring the concept stores and coffee shops

📌 I opted for a hammam and massage

📌 a walk through the port and on the beach

📌 ended the day with a much-desired camel ride

Bags are checked and now it’s back to the U.S. through Lisbon. ✌🏼 out Morocco. Until next time ❤️

Hard to believe we’re nearing the end. On day four we took the 3-hour trek to the coast and wasted no time after check in.

📌 loaded the sprinter van with our bags, which unsurprisingly barely fit
📌 checked in to our beachside riad and quickly found out why they call Essaouira the windy city
📌 enjoyed a late rooftop lunch
📌 (you guessed it) shopped a totally different scene
📌rooftop drinks and live music at @salutmaroc
📌 nightcap(s) and pizza to round out our first day at the coast

So, who’s gonna volunteer to watch my kids? Cause I need another week just staring at the 🌊

Day 3 was all about stepping into the spotlight and experiencing the high-low mix of what this country has to offer.

📌 started the day bright and early with our glam squad @makeupartistmarrakesh – hair and makeup artists to the 🌟
📌 unforgettable photoshoot with @inmakko.marakasso – my go-to whenever in Marrakech
📌 final rug selection with Hamza
📌 the girls headed over to @ysl and @lamamouniamarrakech to indulge all afternoon while I shot over to @maisondelaphotographiemaroc
📌 final dinner at @riad.talatha – kafta to die for

And today we’re off to the beach 🏝️

Day two started out muuuuuch slower and how it started was the highlight of the day.

📌 traditional hammam and massage at @marajahspa – a clear and decisive highlight of the trip

📌 shopping in the Medina picked up where it left off the day before. Shopping small and hauling big (at least for me!)

📌 in between rug shopping, a bit of a break in the 90 degree sun

📌 after a hilarious failure of a taxi ride we arrived at @lmidamarrakech for fish tagine and gnocchi

📌 a walk back to the riad showed us real life

📌 to bed early for today’s festivities!

Our first retreat day was a full day!

📌 breakfast at our spectacular @riad.talatha
📌 early tour of @myslmarrakech, seeing marjorelle blue and original YSL drawings and designs in person
📌 shop, shop, shop at the local boutiques
📌 Medina tour with @moroccanfoodadventures, eating off the secret menu and seeing all the souks
📌 @restaurant_limoni to round out the night for our beautiful birthday girl

Starting fresh today with hammam and massages before taking on the Medina again 👌🏼
