Volume: Marrakesh
Scents and Sounds
The first full BTL residency. Moroccan desert air, medina mornings, and long reading afternoons in a riad courtyard.
On the Horizon"Where serious readers go to live inside the feeling of their favourite books."
Between the Lines is a luxury literary residency -- a series of curated retreats designed for people who love books and believe that the best stories happen when you give yourself the space to actually live in them.
Each retreat is built around four things: radical rest, authentic culture, genuine community, and the kind of unhurried reading time that real life rarely allows. No packed schedules. No 10am checkouts. Just you, your book, and a beautifully produced experience in a destination worth writing home about.
Every retreat is limited to 12 guests. Every detail is handled. All you need to bring is your reading list.

Why Between the Lines
What makes our reading retreats different.
-
The Private Estate Residency
We don't do hotels. We do full property buyouts. For the duration of your residency, the villa, estate, or riad is your private home and yours alone.
-
The No-Rush Promise
Most trips end with a 10am checkout. Not here. The last day of your residency is your most peaceful -- keep your room, take one last dip in the pool, and leave when you're ready.
-
The Living Literary Salon
From Trope Debates over fine wine to curated author conversations, the books are just the beginning. This is not your average book club.
-
Editorial-Style Curation
Led by a Creative Director, every inch of the residency is scouted for its feel. We produce environments that are visually stunning, culturally rich, and intentionally beautiful.
-
Curated Community
You aren't just travelling -- you're joining a lineage. Through The Shared Ink, our communal journal, you'll find notes and book recommendations from every guest who came before you.
-
The Narrative Arc
It begins with a surprise luxury gift weeks before you fly, and ends six months later with a handwritten letter from your past self.
Coming Soon
Before the retreats, there is the conversation.
The Author's Note is BTL's literary community -- a monthly space for readers to gather, hear from authors, and go deeper into the books that matter. Live author Q&As, fireside-style conversations, and in-person sessions at every retreat.
Think curated reading lists, intimate book conversations, and early access to everything BTL. It is where the story begins.
It is where the BTL community begins -- before anyone books a flight.
We are building it now. We'll let you know when we open the doors.
The BTL Chapter Plan
Every chapter has its season.

The best stories begin with a single page.
