Spa or hammam?

A traditional hammam (steam, scrub with a kessa glove) can cost a few dozen dirhams in a neighbourhood bathhouse; a spa adds an oil massage and a comfortable setting. Our hammam guide explains the basics (towel, outfit, tip), and hammam: which offer compares hammam offers. The Dar el Bacha hammam page presents a medina bathhouse.

Choosing your package

  • Scrub + mask + massage: the first listing, with ghassoul, Atlas clay.
  • With transfer: the third, handy from your hotel.
  • Women only: some plans are women only, with a ghassoul wrap; read the listing.
  • Argan oil: several packages use it for the massage.

Good to know

  • Bring a swimsuit or spare underwear: you are asked to remove almost all clothing, according to reviews.
  • The scrub can be very intense: ask the therapist to be gentle.
  • Reviews vary: a "soft" massage for one can feel too light to someone who likes firm pressure.
  • Some hammams have no real steam: check recent reviews.
  • Keep cash for the tip.

Palaces and hotel spas

Palace hotels also have spas: see palaces and 5-star hotels. For relaxing after a day of sightseeing, also read romantic Marrakech.
