Marrakech Traditional Hammam and Spa Experience
Overview
The hammam is an essential part of Moroccan life, and Marrakech offers everything from neighbourhood public baths to elegant spas in restored riads. This experience introduces you to the ritual in a comfortable, private setting suited to visitors.
After warming up in the steam room, an attendant applies traditional black soap made from olives, then exfoliates your skin with a kessa glove. A rhassoul clay wrap and a relaxing argan oil massage can be added. You finish with mint tea in a quiet lounge. We will recommend a spa that matches your budget and preferences.
