A 2-hour traditional Moroccan hammam in Marrakech: steam, black soap, kessa scrub and rhassoul clay, followed by a 30-minute argan oil massage and mint tea. Hotel pickup included.
This is a 2-hour hammam and spa session at a clean, well-run spa in Marrakech that we have used with our guests for years. It includes steam, black soap, a full kessa scrub, a rhassoul clay wrap, a 30-minute argan oil massage and mint tea, with transport from your hotel.
For Moroccans, the hammam is a weekly habit, not a luxury. Neighbourhood hammams are warm, busy, tiled rooms where families wash, scrub and talk. The spa version you get on this experience follows the same steps but in a private, quieter setting, with an attendant doing the work for you. It is a good way to recover after a long day in the souks or a desert trip, and it is often the thing our guests say they wish they had done earlier in their stay.
The spa provides disposable underwear, a robe, towels and slippers. Most people wear the disposable underwear or their own swimwear bottoms. Attendants are women for women; couples can book a shared room for the massage. You do not need to bring anything except a change of clothes if you plan to go out afterwards.
The session suits almost everyone. It is not recommended during pregnancy, with recent sunburn, or with skin conditions, and people with heart or blood pressure concerns should check with a doctor before using the steam room. We can arrange a gentler version with a shorter steam if you prefer.
If you are wondering what to pack for the season, our what to wear in Marrakech guide covers it. To fit the hammam into a busy day, see our hour-by-hour Marrakech plan. Book or ask a question on WhatsApp at +212 606-957514.
