What you need to know before choosing your spa in Marrakech
Traditional hammam or contemporary spa?
Two atmospheres, two experiences:
- The traditional hammam is an immersion into Moroccan culture. Black soap scrub, ghassoul body wrap, hot steam: a purifying and regenerating ritual.
- The contemporary spa, often integrated into a luxury hotel or riad, offers a wide range of treatments: Thai massages, foot reflexology, facials, aromatherapy, etc.
Depending on your desires, you can alternate between these two worlds to enjoy both authenticity and modern comfort.
The essential treatments to try
- Relaxing massage with argan oil: nourishing and soothing.
- Traditional kessa glove scrub: for soft, purified skin.
- Complete “beldi” ritual: hammam, scrub, body wrap, massage – a must for reconnecting with yourself.
- Facial treatments with natural products: ideal for invigorating your complexion after a day in the sun.
A moment to share… or to savor alone
Visiting a spa in Marrakech is also an opportunity to share a special moment:
- As a couple, for a duo massage in a private room,
- Among friends, for a relaxing half-day around a mint tea,
- Or solo, simply to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the medina.
