7 Wellness Retreats To Get You In Shape For Bikini Season

Harem Escape

Harem Escape is a women-only retreat based in a 24-acre private property within Marrakech. Targeting busy women who don’t have time for themselves, Harem retreats aims to assist women in rediscovering their femininity and to work towards a healthy, sensual, and balanced life. Harem translates to “forbidden” or “kept safe”, and in this retreat women are made to feel this way through its home-like setting with quirky art, and its schedule-free living. Traditional hammams, yoga, and massages are just a few of the treatments offered when you are not baking under the desert sun by the sprawling pool. A library and screening room can be found on the property if you seek a little bit of down time before indulging in delicious, healthy, international cuisine following the principles of Chinese Food Therapy. Eighty percent of Harem’s profits go to a local charity assisting young girls in their education and careers, so not only do you get a rejuvenating holiday, but you also do something good.
