Featherbee Escape No. 01​
Discovery Trip | First Week of April | 8 Guests
Marrakech, Morocco
APRIL 1-7, 2026
MARRAKECH DISCOVERY TRIP
HOSTS DEREK RONSPIES + CAT BIGGAR
Our very first Featherbee Escape is a Discovery Trip to Marrakech, and we’re inviting just 8 of our most trusted guests to join us.
​
This is not a packaged tour.
This is not a bus of 24 people with matching lanyards.
This is how we travel when we are building something new.
WHAT A DISCOVERY TRIP REALLY IS...
You travel with us as we scout a destination in real time.
We stay in design-forward riads and desert ecolodges.
We test kitchens.
We meet the chefs, ceramicists, hoteliers, spice merchants, textile makers.
We walk properties that may become future Featherbee locations.
You are behind the scenes of our process.
​
We organize every introduction. Every tasting. Every table. Every transfer. Every door that quietly opens because of who we are and how we travel.
​
You simply show up and take part as much or as little as you like.
WHY MARRAKEC(S)H
Because it sits at the intersection of craft, cuisine, and culture.
​
-
Layered flavors built from spice and fire
-
Architecture that feels both ancient and radically modern
-
Design rooted in geometry, texture, restraint
-
The desert and the mountains within reach
​
It’s visually intoxicating.
It’s culinary gold.
It’s the kind of place that rewards small groups who know how to move thoughtfully.
​
And April gives us warmth without the intensity of high summer.
