How the experience unfolds
At the arranged time
Pick-up from your accommodation
Your driver collects you from your Marrakech hotel or riad. If the street is not accessible by car, we arrange a nearby meeting point with you.
On arrival
Welcome at the spa
The team welcomes you and provides what you need for the treatment. You change before entering the warm steam of the hammam.
Hammam ritual
Black soap and kessa-glove scrub
Steam prepares your skin before black soap is applied. A traditional kessa-glove scrub then removes dead skin, followed by a rinse to complete the ritual.
60 minutes
Relaxing argan-oil massage
Settle into the treatment room for a one-hour argan-oil massage in a calm, softly lit setting.
After the treatments
Return to your hotel or riad
