STACEY’S BIRTHDAY
MARRAKESH
With Chef Ludo Lefebvre
May 7 - May 11, 2026
5 days / 4 nights
$5,500 per person ($4,400 pp dbl occupancy)
Once in Marrakech, the experience is fully inclusive, covering where you stay, how you dine and drink, and all experiences.
So pack your kaftans and your dancing shoes - Stacey is turning a year hotter and we’re celebrating in Marrakech, where the mint tea is strong, the camels are judgmental, and sleep is optional.
We kick things off with villa cocktails and a Moroccan feast, then spend our days getting pampered like sultans, bargaining like locals in the medina, and eating food so good you’ll consider relocating. Prepare for dinner cooked by culinary royalty Chef Ludo and Chef Moha, followed by late-night dancing with world renowned dj Amine K.
Then we head to the Agafay Desert for lunch, pool time, buggies, camels, massages, and dinner under the stars. Wake up to a sunrise hot air balloon ride, followed by gardens, brunch, more massages, and another feast.
Five days. One epic birthday. Zero regrets.

THE VILLA
Villa Loudi is our private base in Marrakech. The property features suites and private bungalows, shared lounge spaces, two outdoor pools, and an on-site spa with hammam and massage treatments. Evenings center around long, communal dinners followed by music, dancing, and late nights together, with plenty of space to unwind during the day.
UP UP AND AWAY
At sunrise we take a hot air balloon flight over Marrakech and the surrounding desert. A calm, early-morning experience with wide views of the city and landscape before the day begins.
Jardins Majorelle & Musée Yves Saint Laurent
We visit the Majorelle Garden and the Yves Saint Laurent Museum. Walk through the iconic blue gardens and explore the museum’s exhibitions on YSL’s life and work. A focused, well-paced visit that blends design, history, and one of Marrakech’s most recognized landmarks.
MEDINA TOUR WITH LOCAL ARTISTS
We explore the medina with local artists who know every hidden alley, secret shop, and story.
MOROCCAN HAMMAM
Experience a Moroccan hammam - a traditional steam and cleansing ritual unlike a typical spa. Using black olive soap, warm marble, and a vigorous exfoliation.
DESERT DAY
We spend a full day in the Agafay Desert, starting with a Moroccan breakfast at the villa before heading to White Camel Camp. Lunch is served among rolling dunes, followed by pool time and optional spa treatments, including hammam rituals and massages. For the adventurous, there are buggies, quads, camels, horses, yoga, hikes, and stargazing once the sun drops. We end with dinner under the open sky, then head back to the villa by 10pm.
