The Hamam Ritual
THE RITUAL AT MARRAKECH SPA (Starting 80 euros)
The ritual begins with few minutes of relaxation in the Hamam main area, after, your body will be slathered with a luxury black soap made of olives and eucalyptus. Once fully soaped you are left for 10 minutes to relax and breathe the lovely smell of eucalyptus and mint in the steamy Hammam. After few moments another wash with buckets of water and then the exfoliating begins full body and face.
Loofa-like gloves called a Kessa is used to clean the sweaty skin of the entire residue accumulated during the day. Every inch of the body is thoroughly scrubbed to remove the dead skin before you are washed again.
The next stage you can upgrade your procedure with the application of the ghassoul clay on the entire body, a ritual very specific to Morocco that you can only find in the Middle Atlas. You are left to relax for a further 5 or 10 minutes, while the mask takes effect.The last phase of the luxury Marrakech spa treatment is the Argan oil hair mask with a real intense sweet and wonderful aroma. Argan oil comes from the fruit of the argan tree, which grows only in Morocco. This ensures the final remaining roughness is removed and hydrates the scalp at the same time. After the Hammam treatment, one of our Hamam specialists will reward you with a relaxing soothing massage session of your choice if you opt for the oil massage service.
At the end of your Hammam session, you will be offered Moroccan traditional tea in winter and exquisite pastries, cakes in the cooling area while watching a video projection documentary on Morocco and Cyprus.
