MARRAKECH:

Into the Ellenverse

June 17-21, 2027

ELLEN’s 40th Birthday Celebration

Why Her 40th In

MARRAKECH?

HER BIRTHDAY HAS PASSED. THE CELEBRATION HAS NOT.

Marrakech is glamorous and chaotic, ancient and wildly creative-a place where a tiny Medina alley can open into an extraordinary palace, and an afternoon of color, spice and noise can end beneath the silent Atlas Mountains.

For four days, we’re making the city our playground-beginning at the legendary El Fenn (Madonna’s birthday venue) and carrying the entire crew into the Agafay landscape to a private Kasbah that opened just last year for a Dior jewelry showcase. And that’s just where we’re sleeping.

FOUR NIGHTS. FOUR WORLDS.

01 : THE ROYAL COURT

We begin behind enormous doors in the heart of the Medina. Candlelight, cocktails, dinner, musicians and performers unfold through a private Moroccan palace-our most maximalist introduction to Marrakech.

This is the night we enter the story.

Theme & costume to come.

02: THE SURREALIST SOUK

Night two begins where the familiar ends. We take over a fantastical Marrakech hideaway-part Gaudí fever dream, part Moroccan labyrinth and part art installation. Dinner slips into dancing as straight lines disappear and the evening becomes increasingly strange.

This is Marrakech after dark, through the looking glass.

Theme & costume to come.

03: ONE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS

By night three, the horizon has widened and the rules have disappeared. As the sun falls behind the Atlas Mountains, the Kasbah transforms into a full-scale birthday spectacle of light, sound, costume and dancing.

This is the night we came for.

Theme & costume to come.

04: DESERT MIRAGE

By the final night, nothing is expected to end quietly. A long, lazy day melts into sunset cocktails and dinner beneath the open sky-one last beautiful chapter that may accidentally become another party.

This is the night we stay on top of the world.

Theme & costume to come.

YOUR STAY

Two hotels. Four nights. Two extraordinary worlds.

We’ll begin at El Fenn in the Medina from June 17–19, then escape toward the Atlas Mountains and make Kasbah d’If ours through June 21.

Your Questions Answered

  • The adventure begins on the evening of June 17, 2027, and continues through midday on June 21. Please arrive with enough time to settle in before the first night begins. To experience the full story as it unfolds, we ask that everyone join us for the entire journey.

  • Your accommodations, meals, four nights of celebrations and transportation to each event-and between our two hotels-are included. Flights, personal expenses and optional daytime adventures are separate.

  • Guests are responsible for arranging their own flights to and from Marrakech. You’ll need a valid passport and any visa required for your nationality. More detailed arrival guidance will follow.

  • Absolutely. The magic mostly begins as the sun goes down, leaving your days open to wander the souks, visit the gardens, book a hammam, lounge by the pool or follow wherever Marrakech takes you.

  • Very much so. Each night carries us into a different world with its own theme and dress direction. Your costume briefs-and everything you need to prepare-will be revealed closer to the journey.

  • If your invitation includes a guest, their name will be noted. Otherwise, please check with the hosts before adding anyone to your journey, as accommodations are limited and every place is carefully planned.

  • Submit your reservation request and, once your room and guest details are confirmed, Havenly Events will send a secure deposit request. Your place becomes official once your deposit has been received.
