House of Notoire gives one a true sense of boutique tailor-made travel excursions. A very authentic and thoughtful process to all the experiential activities of the city that were put together for the guests. Everyone was friendly and warm. I left this Marrakech retreat happy, revitalised, inspired and looking forward to more HON trips in any city around the world.
— Lisa, South Africa
I joined retreat not only to experience a new country but also to invest in myself and before setting out on the retreat, I kept a few goals in mind: seek creative inspiration, embrace new surroundings, take time to relax and reflect, network with other creative, driven women, and share inspiration while learning from others. By the time we headed back home, every one of my goals had been met. I will carry this special experience with me for years to come.

This trip was AMAZING! Every little thing was taken care of, House of Notoire really did that! They took care of every single detail. They also set the trip up in such a way that everybody could effortlessly connect with each other. And I absolutely loved that. I made some amazing connections and had some of the best conversations with the other HONeys. I expected the trip to be fun, but I never could have imagined how it would exceed all my expectations!
— Jasey, the Netherlands
This trip stole my heart! The attention to detail and personalization provided by HON was excellent. The activities were great and the whole itinerary was a perfect balance of fun, getting to know the culture, developing your skills, rejuvenation and making lifelong memories. I recommend the HONeys Retreats to everyone - no doubt about it!

I’ve had the best time during the retreat. The week hosted by the sweetest host Cynthia Ritsma & co-hosted by Yin Koningin Fatma Genc was inspiring, empowering and got me to stand still - even in the busy streets of Marrakech. All the ladies, coming from very different backgrounds, felt like family at the end of the retreat: what a “bundle of joy” it was. A true recommendation for every ambitious woman out there.
