Peacock Pavilions
Artful hospitality with community at heart
Peacock Pavilions has the sensibility of a design-led Moroccan guesthouse, with handmade, artisanal character at its core. It is not presented as a conventional meditation school, so travelers should think of it first as a distinctive place to stay and confirm whether their dates include any guided practice. The project is associated with American author and designer Maryam Montague and her husband, Chris Redecke, whose hospitality work also connects with Project Soar. That nonprofit supports Moroccan girls through arts, sports, health education and English-language learning, giving the property a community-minded dimension beyond its interiors. For retreat guests, the appeal is the chance to pair a considered hotel stay with an interest in socially engaged travel. Before setting out, confirm the exact property address and any retreat arrangements directly with the host.
