The Karma Khan Calmcamp | MOROCCO |

2 NOV – 6 NOV 2023

Illuminate was excited to announce an exclusive curated retreat with Noreen Khan, which took place over four enriching days—three days in the enchanting Essaouira and one day in Marrakech.

Participants immersed themselves in a transformative experience that included accommodation, delicious meals, and rejuvenating yoga sessions led by Noreen herself. This retreat was thoughtfully designed to nourish the body, mind, and spirit.

It was an unforgettable journey where the serene beauty of Essaouira met the calming practice of yoga, creating the perfect setting for a peaceful retreat.

Retreat Location

This beautiful Eco Lodge is a few minutes walk to Sidi Kaouki beach, near Essaouira. The comfortable accommodation is arranged across 2 Domes (4 people in each), 4 double bedrooms and 2 single bedrooms. There’s a huge kitchen from where we’ll deliver nutritional meals all day, and the view from the terrace is stunning, providing a perfect backdrop for yoga and meditation classes in the morning and evening.

A well-stocked library, table games and nearby horse-riding activities means you’ll always have something to do or relax with.

About the Luminaries

Noreen Khan is an award-winning radio/TV presenter and stand-up comedian. She presents shows across the BBC and has hosted at the Commonwealth Games.

But not everyone knows that Noreen is also a qualified yoga teacher! Having started her yoga journey at just 16, she has been a dedicated student ever since. In 2021 she qualified as a yoga instructor passing her 200-hour teacher training course which is registered with Yoga Alliance International Europe. Noreen practices many different styles of yoga including Hatha, Iyengar, Yin yoga, and Ashtanga

Now she’s partnered with us at Illuminate Retreats, and together we invite you on a 4-night magical journey enjoying nutritional home-cooked food, revitalise with yoga overlooking stunning vistas, ride stallions on the beaches of Sidi Kaouki, sample the ancient culture of nearby Essaouira, or just chill with a book as the sun sets. Then we head off to Marrakech to finish off with dinner at the Medina and stay the night at a luxury riad. A short break to indeed heal your mind, body and soul.
