Farasha Farmhouse
Art, gardens and space to pause
Beyond Marrakesh’s busy Medina, Farasha Farmhouse brings together retreat stays, contemporary Moroccan art and a working garden in a former artist’s residence. French and Irish founders Fred and Rosena Charmoy have shaped the property around creativity, craftsmanship and connection, with space for guests to encounter the people and ideas behind Morocco’s cultural life. A mature olive grove frames the grounds, while views extend toward the Atlas and Jebel mountains. The regenerative farm and garden lend the setting a grounded, outdoorsy feel, quite different from a city hotel or a retreat devoted to one named meditation lineage. Farasha is best approached as a creative, culturally engaged place to pause, with retreat programming that can change from one visit to another. It is a paid retreat destination; ask the hosts about current dates, activities and what each stay includes before making plans.
