Itinerary
Day 1
Half-day private hammam and massage retreat with hotel pickup and drop-off. Relaxation is paced for comfort and privacy with short transfers and time to change before/after treatments.
Hotel pickup
Driver meets you at the nearest vehicle-accessible point to your accommodation in Marrakesh (if you stay inside a riad in the Medina, the pickup point will be the closest car-accessible gate or main street).
Tips from local experts:
- Be ready 5 minutes before the scheduled pickup time at your riad entrance or hotel lobby to avoid delays.
- If your riad has narrow alleys, confirm the exact street name or gate with the operator in advance so the driver can find the nearest accessible point.
- Keep small valuables with you or in a locked bag—drivers will assist but do not hold valuables for long periods.
Transfer to hammam venue
Short vehicle transfer from pickup point to the hammam location in the Medina area. Transfer time is short but traffic and narrow streets can affect exact arrival time.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect a brief drive (often 10–20 minutes depending on traffic and pickup location); sit where you can step out quickly to avoid disrupting local traffic.
- Have your phone handy in case the driver or venue calls to coordinate arrival at a small entrance or courtyard.
- If you use a navigation app, note the hammam’s street name to make communication easier with your driver.
Traditional hammam steam bath (40 minutes)
Authentic Moroccan hammam steam ritual in a private or semi-private cabin: steam and cleansing using traditional methods and natural ingredients to open pores and prepare the body for massage.
Tips from local experts:
- Remove jewelry and watches before entering the hammam to protect them from steam and water.
- If you have skin sensitivities or respiratory conditions, tell the attendant before the steam session begins so they can adjust the temperature or duration.
- Bring or wear modest swimwear or undergarments if you prefer; many guests use the hammam-provided washing cloths—ask staff on arrival if you need anything.
Rejuvenating massage with premium oils (40 minutes)
A focused 40-minute massage using premium Moroccan oils (for example argan, rose, or orange blossom) delivered by a trained therapist to relax muscles and nourish the skin.
Tips from local experts:
- Tell the therapist about any recent injuries, pregnancy, or medical conditions (heart conditions are advised against) before the massage starts.
- If you prefer lighter or stronger pressure, mention this at the start—therapists can easily adjust intensity for comfort.
- Keep water nearby after the massage to stay hydrated; staff will provide time to sit and recover before leaving the spa area.
Shared Moroccan tea & quiet rest (special moment)
A short, intimate moment to share traditional Moroccan tea and a light rest after treatments—designed as the retreat’s special moment for couples to relax together.
Tips from local experts:
- Accept the tea offered—it's typically served hot and is part of the local hospitality; wait a few minutes if you feel light-headed after treatments.
- Use this time to reapply light moisturizer and dress comfortably before transfer back to your accommodation.
- If you have dietary restrictions or need decaffeinated tea, advise staff at the start so they can prepare accordingly.
Return transfer and drop-off at nearest accessible point
Short vehicle transfer back to the agreed drop-off point near your hotel or riad. Driver will reconfirm the drop-off location if multiple exits are possible.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm your drop-off point with the driver when boarding to avoid being left at a busy intersection.
- If your riad has narrow alleys, plan to walk a short distance from the vehicle-accessible point; keep luggage light for this final short walk.
- Allow the driver a few minutes to navigate narrow Medina streets—delays of a few minutes are normal in busy periods.
