About your trip

Marrakech is a vibrant hub of creativity, and it has long been a Muse for the world’s most celebrated artists, designers, and visionaries. We welcome you as locals who have been born and raised in these rose-hued walls, where lanterns flicker like whispered secrets, and our city unfolds as a living canvas of artistry and inspiration.  We are thrilled to take you on a shopping, design and creative tour in a collaboration with Marrakech locals, the team behind Riad Botanica (Mohamed Mellak and Angela Mellak) and interior designer Claire Cau-Cecile (a renowned Interior Designer from Melbourne, Australia- the Founder of LifeInStyle and CCCInteriors). Over this six-day adventure, we will lead a retreat to explore Marrakech with locals through a designer's eye.

Each day offers a new focus, whether it’s refining your styling skills, discovering your artistic talents, or simply indulging in the luxurious surroundings.
