How we build a programme

Fewer moments, done properly.

The incentive that gets talked about a year later is rarely the one with the most on the itinerary. It is the one where the first hour set the tone, the group had a place to themselves, and one evening was unlike anything they had done before. We build from the audience profile — who they are, what they did last year, what would feel earned — and then design out the over-programming.

Venues are ours to contract directly: riad buy-outs in the medina, private Palmeraie estates, camps in Agafay or under the dunes at Erg Chebbi reserved for your group alone. The programme comes back line-itemised, so you can present choices to your client rather than one fixed number.

  • Private meet-and-greet at Marrakech Menara; fast-track where available
  • Exclusive-use venues from around twenty-five participants
  • Free time deliberately balanced against curated experiences
  • Gifting and branding sourced through artisans we already work with

A sample programme

Four nights, Marrakech and Agafay

One shape among many — every programme is built from the brief.

  1. Day 1 · Arrival

    Rose-water welcome, riad buy-out

    Private meet-and-greet at Marrakech Menara, transfer to an exclusive-use riad in the medina. Rooftop dinner above the old city as the call to prayer sounds — nothing scheduled after it.

  2. Day 2 · The city

    Dawn balloon, medina by afternoon

    Hot-air balloon flight over the Palmeraie at sunrise for those who want it; a late breakfast for those who don't. Guided medina programme in small groups after lunch, free evening with restaurant reservations held.

  3. Day 3 · The desert

    Agafay, reserved for the group

    Transfer to a private camp in the stone desert. Quad or camel by choice in the late afternoon, then a gala dinner under canvas with Gnaoua musicians, and the whole camp to yourselves overnight.

  4. Day 4 · The Atlas

    Berber valley lunch, hammam evening

    Morning drive into the foothills for a walk and lunch in a family home in the Ourika Valley. Back to the riad for a private hammam evening, then a closing dinner in the courtyard.

  5. Day 5 · Departure

    Staggered transfers to RAK

    Late checkout held for the group, transfers timed to each flight, and a branded gift boxed in the room the night before so no one carries it through the medina.

Why Morocco

Long-haul feel, short-haul logistics.

Marrakech Menara takes direct flights from most major European cities in under four hours, and the Gulf connects daily via Casablanca. The group lands somewhere that looks nothing like last year's destination without spending a day in the air to get there.

Peak season for outdoor programmes is March to May and October to December, with 22–28 °C days. Against the euro and the pound, an exclusive-use camp evening or a full multi-night programme typically costs meaningfully less than an equivalent in Southern Europe.

What exclusive use costs, by group size

Exclusive-use venues are the decision that shapes an incentive budget. Here is roughly where each option becomes viable.

10–25 participants

Boutique riad, whole property

A small medina riad taken in full. Intimate, genuinely private, and the easiest exclusive-use option to justify on a top-performer trip.

25–60 participants

Palmeraie villa or estate

Pool, grounds and dining all to the group. Room for a gala dinner and an activity on the same site without moving anyone.

60–120 participants

Desert camp buy-out

An Agafay or Erg Chebbi camp reserved entirely for your group, with the whole evening programme built around the site.

120–200+ participants

Multi-property programme

Split accommodation across two or three properties with one shared venue for the gala. Needs tighter transfer planning but scales cleanly.

Questions

What incentive planners ask first

Anything not covered here, ask the ops desk directly on WhatsApp.

What makes Morocco work as an incentive destination?

Short-haul access from Europe paired with a landscape that does not look like anywhere the group has been on a previous trip. Marrakech Menara takes direct flights from a large number of European cities in under four hours, and the desert, the Atlas and the coast are all reachable inside a day from the city.

What group sizes do you run incentive programmes for?

From a ten-person top-performer trip to 200+ participants. Exclusive-use venues — riad buy-outs, private camps — typically become viable from around twenty-five, which is often the deciding factor in how the programme is shaped.

What does a typical incentive programme include?

Airport meet-and-greet, accommodation, all ground transport, guided experiences, dining, one or two signature moments, and on-site coordination throughout. Everything is line-itemised, so elements can be added or removed without re-quoting the whole programme.

What are the signature moments you would suggest?

A dawn hot-air balloon flight over the Palmeraie, a private camp reserved solely for the group in Agafay or Erg Chebbi, a camel caravan at sunset, a hammam evening, or a gala dinner with Gnaoua musicians in a riad courtyard. One or two land far better than five.

How far ahead should an incentive programme be booked?

Three to six months for groups under sixty; six to twelve for larger programmes or peak season, which runs March to May and October to December. Exclusive-use camps and riads are the first thing to go.

Can you run incentives across more than one city?

Yes. Marrakech paired with the Sahara, Fes or the Atlantic coast is the common shape. Inter-city transfers, domestic flights and hotel changes are operated by us as a single programme rather than handed between suppliers at each stop.

Is branding and gifting handled?

Yes — branded touchpoints, custom menus and Moroccan gifts sourced through artisan workshops we already work with. Lead times for anything bespoke are confirmed at quote stage rather than assumed.

Are the rates net for agencies and incentive houses?

Yes. All quotes are issued net with your commission structure confirmed in writing, and delivery is white-label unless you ask for us to be visible.
