The Venue
Peacock Pavilions is a hand-built, artisanal, boutique hotel. Nestled in an old olive grove, on the outskirts of Marrakech, with a breathtaking view of the Atlas Mountains, the property features a pool, outdoor gym, yoga/activities pavilion, and a painted dining tent. Peacock Pavilions was designed to promote well-being and fun! The hotel has been featured on CNN International, New York Times, and more. Peacock Pavilions is a favorite location for travelers in the know, fashion shoots, yoga and creative retreats, and celebrations of all kinds.
The hotel, part of the M.Montague brand, supports Project Soar, a non-profit organization, which was established by the founding couple to empower local Moroccan girls through art and sports, as well as health and English language education.
The Rooms
Deliberately intimate and exclusive, the 8.5-acre private estate is comprised of three pavilions and two luxury bungalows, as well as lush outdoor areas. Each pavilion and bungalow has a unique design and includes amenities like fireplaces, terraces, rose gardens, local art, and stylish seating areas. Every bedroom is an art-filled room with a story, inspired by a muse, some real and some imagined.
Payment Plan Option: If you are interested in joining this retreat, but cannot manage a single payment at this time, we can offer you a payment plan price quote.
Please email hi@caitlyncasson.com for more information.
The Food
Peacock Pavilions delights in menus featuring farm-to-table, authentic Moroccan cuisine with a twist. The personal chefs prepare everything from scratch, providing a fixed daily menu that relies on local, fresh ingredients, some from their own gardens. Meals are generally enjoyed by day on the terrace and by night in a special Arabian dining tent.
Peacock Pavilions will do its best to accommodate food allergies. If you have a severe allergy or dietary restriction, please reach out to us before booking.
