ONE XPERIENCE LTD
Ocean air, guided inner work, grounded care
Atlantic wind and surf set the backdrop at this retreat villa in Sidi Kaouki, where the focus is inward work rather than a conventional yoga or spa break. Guided by Samuel Coulon, described as a shaman and breathwork practitioner, ONE XPERIENCE shapes immersive retreats and individual healing sessions around each participant. Breathwork and plant-medicine themes are part of its approach, though the exact program depends on the retreat. The villa is reserved for participants, with open living areas facing the ocean, a terrace, garden and indoor session room. Home-cooked vegetarian and pescatarian meals use fresh local produce; breakfast, lunch and dinner are included, and stays are alcohol-free. Free Wi-Fi, a pool, housekeeping and parking add comfort without making the place feel like a resort. Retreats start at EUR 1,800, with airport transfer included. Ask the host about upcoming dates and the specifics of each program.

Setting
Sidi Kaouki is a laid-back Atlantic surf village about 30 km south of Essaouira. The villa’s open living spaces look toward the ocean, with a terrace and garden that bring the coastal wind and Moroccan light into the retreat’s quieter moments.
The practice
The center’s stated approach includes guided breathwork and plant-medicine themes, led by Samuel Coulon. Breathwork uses intentional breathing as part of a guided session; the details and role of plant medicine depend on the particular retreat. Programs are adapted to participants, so newcomers should ask about the format, preparation and suitability before booking.
A typical day
The daily rhythm is shaped around each retreat rather than a fixed timetable. Ask the host for session timings, meal schedule and how much unstructured time a particular stay includes.
Accommodation
Participants stay in a charming villa reserved exclusively for the retreat. It has an indoor session room, garden, pool, kitchen and free Wi-Fi; housekeeping, towels and free parking are listed. Room types and sleeping arrangements depend on the retreat, so confirm them when booking.
What to bring
Pack comfortable layers for breathwork sessions and time by the coast. The annual average temperature is 19°C, with cooler conditions in December, February and January; a light rain layer is useful in the wetter months.
