Four Seasonal Editions

A True Digital Detox and Nervous System Reset in the Moroccan Sahara

There is no wifi and no network in the camp itself. For an important call, a signal can be found a short walk away, about twenty minutes there and back. Phones are stored on arrival, so the detox is real without leaving anyone unreachable. Five days of sunrise movement, breathwork and deep rest give your nervous system the reset it cannot get at home: step away from the noise and reconnect with nature, your body, and your mind beneath the endless Sahara sky, at Umnya Desert Camp in Erg Chegaga.

Each edition is capped at 12 places to keep the experience intimate and personal. Booking two or three places in one go takes ten per cent off each, the together rate of €2385 per person; booking alone, the price is €2650.

Your 5 Days in the Sahara

The same arc runs at every edition, day by day

Day 1

Arrival and digital detox

Round-trip transportation collects you in Marrakech for the drive south to Erg Chegaga. On arrival, phones are stored away for the length of the retreat, a small ritual that marks the start of real disconnection. Welcome tea, tent assignment, a sunset walk on the nearest dune, and an open-fire dinner under the stars. No programming today, just arrival.

Day 2

Reset

Sunrise mobility and functional training session on the dunes, followed by yoga and meditation. Full breakfast. A sunrise camel ride across the erg. Rest and free time through the warm hours. Guided walk with local nomads in the late afternoon. Evening meditation, campfire, and dinner under an open sky.

Day 3

Reconnect

Morning training and mobility, followed by yoga and breathwork. Traditional sand bread experience with the camp bakers, watch the khobz baked beneath the coals and taste it warm. Afternoon sandboarding on the high dunes. A relaxing massage before dinner. Stargazing at night with a professional telescope, guided through the constellations above Erg Chegaga.

Day 4

Reawaken

Final sunrise yoga and meditation session. A private meeting with the Nomads, a slow and honest exchange with the families who call this desert home, tea, conversation, and craft. Free afternoon to walk, rest, or journal in the dunes. Closing ceremony and celebration dinner around the fire, with Berber music under the Milky Way.

Day 5

Departure

A final closing meditation. Breakfast, then phones are returned as a deliberate, intentional re-entry into the connected world. Round-trip transportation returns you to Marrakech by early afternoon, in time for onward flights.

Frequently asked questions

What is included in the RESET Retreat price?
The standard price of 2,650 euros per person includes bespoke desert accommodation, full board, round-trip transportation from Marrakech, a full digital detox, daily mobility and functional training, daily yoga and meditation, a sunrise camel ride, a guided walk with local nomads, sandboarding, a traditional sand bread experience, a meeting with the Nomads, stargazing with a professional telescope, one relaxing massage, and nightly campfires. International flights, travel insurance and personal expenses are not included.
When does the RESET Retreat take place?
The RESET Retreat runs at Umnya Desert Camp in Erg Chegaga, the Moroccan Sahara. The next editions: February 1 to 5, 2027, and April 5 to 9, 2027. Each edition is a 5-day, 4-night program.
Can we book two or three places together?
Yes, and it costs less per person. Booking two or three places in one go takes 10% off the price of each, which is the together rate. A couple shares one tent, and three friends or a mother and her daughters share one tent with an extra bed. Each edition is capped at 12 places, confirmed on a first-come basis.
What makes this retreat different from a typical yoga retreat?
RESET is built around four pillars rather than yoga alone: a genuine digital detox with phones stored away for the full stay, daily mobility and functional training at sunrise, deepened twice-daily meditation, and direct time with the nomads who live in this desert. The Sahara does the rest, there is no wifi and no network in the camp itself, and a signal can be found a short walk away, about twenty minutes there and back, so the disconnection is real without leaving anyone unreachable.
Do I need yoga or fitness experience to join?
No. Sessions are designed for all levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. The pace of the retreat favors depth and rest over performance.
How many people will be at each retreat?
Each edition is capped at 12 places to keep the group intimate and personal, well below the camp's full capacity of 20 guests. We recommend reserving early as places are confirmed on a first-come basis and availability differs by edition.
How do I get to Umnya Desert Camp?
Round-trip transportation from Marrakech is included in your retreat price. You simply arrive in Marrakech, and we handle the rest of the journey to Erg Chegaga.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
A 20% deposit confirms your reservation and is non refundable. The balance is due 45 days before arrival. If you need to cancel, you may transfer your booking to a future edition once, free of charge, or send someone in your place, at no extra cost.
What if the weather is bad during my stay?
The Sahara at Erg Chegaga has a stable, dry climate for most of the year, and our editions are timed for the best conditions, October to April. Occasional wind or cloud cover does not cancel the retreat; the program adapts, and clear nights return quickly in this climate.
