Our Story


La Maison Autonome began as the visionary dream of its founder, Oualid Belakbil, whose relentless pursuit of a higher quality of life led him beyond the confines of Casablanca. Driven by a deep-seated commitment to environmental stewardship, he sought to challenge conventions and build a home that embodied sustainability at its core—a true testament to his ethos.

In the midst of transformative changes in 2022, Oualid Belakbil reconnected with his childhood friend, Safaa Alaoui, who shared his deep-rooted values and passion for farm life. As their friendship reignited, it evolved into a profound partnership, leading them to co-found LMA Events. Together, they embarked on an extraordinary journey to shape the vision of LMA Events, driven by their unwavering dedication to crafting memorable experiences that embody authenticity and innovation. Their collaboration not only transformed their professional endeavors but also solidified their bond as lifelong partners.

What began as a humble endeavor to share the secrets of farm living with close friends soon blossomed into something more. From intimate yoga retreats to vibrant wellness gatherings, from lively parties to captivating editorial photoshoots, and ultimately to unforgettable weddings that welcomed guests from every corner of the globe—their journey with La Maison Autonome has been one of evolution and boundless creativity.
