Accommodation
During the retreat, all accommodations are based on double occupancy, meaning shared rooms. We’ve selected luxurious riads, desert camps, and lodges to offer you a comfortable and immersive experience.

The Merzouga Desert
The Merzouga Desert is a mystical landscape of towering sand dunes, where the golden sands seem to stretch endlessly beneath the open sky. It’s a place where time stands still, and the natural world invites you into its quiet embrace. The vastness of the desert creates a space where distractions fall away, allowing for deep reflection and inner peace.
As you wander through the dunes or sit in stillness, the desert becomes your guide, its timeless beauty mirroring your own potential for growth and transformation. The soft whispers of the wind and the warmth of the earth beneath your feet draw you into a state of presence, inviting you to reconnect with yourself and the world around you.
Each sunrise over the dunes feels like a new beginning, casting a golden light on the sand and your inner journey. As the sun sets, painting the desert in shades of amber and crimson, you’ll find moments of deep introspection, illuminated by the stillness around you. At night, the stars shine brighter than you’ve ever seen, offering a breathtaking reminder of the vastness of the universe—and your place within it.
In the Merzouga Desert, the silence is profound, but within that silence lies an invitation: to let go, to heal, and to listen to the quiet wisdom of the earth. Whether you're riding a camel across the dunes, participating in a full moon ceremony under the stars, or simply reflecting in the stillness, the desert holds space for your transformation, offering clarity, peace, and renewed purpose.
