RETREATS AT JNANE TAMSNA
Here at Jnane Tamsna, wellness is one of our core values. We take pride in providing luxury retreats for our guests since opening in 2001. With your individual needs considered, we curate the perfect trip itinerary. We are proud to collaborate with professionals of various backgrounds to create the ideal retreat experience for guests. Yoga instructors, tennis experts, and tour guides are easily accessible through our Conciergerie. On your retreat, you can look forward to enjoying unique onsite features such as our organic farm-to-table gardens and a rich diversity of books in our library along with rich cultural excursions into Marrakech.
Yoga and Mindfulness Retreats
Jnane Tamsna provides everything you need to disconnect and recharge, with ample space to host a Marrakech yoga retreat. There are tranquil spaces to practice wellness year-round. A favorite among our guests is the open space by the Moussafir house, lined with a diversity of trees filled with birds to serenade your group. On cooler winter mornings, our modern outdoor fireplace can provide warmth as you wait for the midday heat to settle. We recommend laying a mat down for yoga practice facing the pool. Here you can look out on a picturesque grove of trees and take in birdsong as you connect with your body. The rooftop of the main Jnane House is another peaceful space for meditation and mindfulness. It offers a stunning view of our centennial palm tree canopy and is perfect for watching the sun rise and set. We also have a light-filled salon with high ceilings as a beautiful place to practice indoors as needed.
Conference Spaces
Whether your trip is for an intimate group or a larger party, we provide a bespoke service based on your unique retreat program. Indoor areas can be transformed into a chic conference center with a cozy elegant atmosphere. Our outdoor spaces can become open-air meeting venues. Upon request, we can furnish the floor with red Berber carpets, poufs, and sofas to create a chic and vibrant setting for a more relaxed atmosphere. Take a work break in the garden, savoring coffee or tea with our delicious homemade biscuits and other pastries. If you require a more formal setting with desks for note-taking, we can arrange conference venues with tables and chairs.
Women's Retreats
We can assist you in planning your women's retreat from the earliest stages. Our team is all about the little details that make your vision come to life. You can expect access to our network of women-led businesses and services to enhance your itinerary. We prioritize your privacy and will fulfill any requests for private or all-women meeting venues.
Design Retreats
Our hotel is the ideal location for a Marrakech design retreat. Marrakech is a city rich in exquisite architecture and cultural artistry. Our hotel is the manifested vision of owner Meryanne Loum-Martin. The decor, construction, and bright color amongst the natural tones of the Palmeraie can be attributed to her artistic vision. Your itinerary can include discussions with Meryanne, a property tour, and excursions to some of the properties featured in her book Inside Marrakech: Enchanting Homes and Gardens, published by Rizzoli.
Gift Bags
To enhance your retreat experience, we offer personalized gift baskets which can be embroidered with the words of your choice. These welcome bags include a selection of bespoke items and treats ethically sourced from rural cooperatives we are proud to support.
Creatives-in-Residence
Jnane Tamsna co-owner and Cultural Curator Thaïs runs our Creatives-in-residence program. Residents are provided accommodation, meals, space for creation and inspiring visits to Marrakech and its environs, with curated opportunities to engage with hotel guests and the local community. This may take the form of performances, workshops, fireside chats, or other immersive experiences. Retreat organizers love incorporating the talents of current Creatives-in-Residence into their programming at Jnane Tamsna whenever there is natural alignment. Thaïs’ cultural curation approaches art and creativity as also encompassing wellness. Slavomir Latko, a longtime practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, does a yearly residency at Jnane Tamsna, during which guests can book acupuncture, Qigong classes and gong baths - the perfect way to further elevate your experience. He also hosts his own wellness retreats at Jnane Tamsna, during the course of which you can enjoy group classes and private treatments.
Giving Back
A portion of retreat fees can be donated to The Global Diversity Foundation, founded by Jnane Tamsna co-owner Gary Martin. The non-profit's initiatives are centered on supporting community livelihoods, protecting nature, and supporting environmental and social justice. They are engaged with regenerative approaches, and how they intersect with diversity, equity, and inclusion movements. Our guests love the opportunity to give back, particularly in the aftermath of the September 2023 earthquake in the High Atlas Mountains, the reconstruction and resilience efforts of which have been supported by the foundation, for which Gary was awarded a Humanitarian medal by King Charles III at Buckingham Palace.
