Spa Services
One of the joys of travel for us is taking the time to destress with a massage. Both of our riad hotels have private hammams and offer massages in the comfort of our private spaces.
While these are not included in our trip price we are happy to help you book a treatment and you can pay them directly.
A hammam soak is $20 and an hour massage costs about $45-50 USD in both cities.
In addition, we found the most beautiful Day Spa in Marrakesh that has a pool to relax beside and offers 2, 3 or 4 hour packages that include a hammam scrub, mud bath, soaking baths, massage and facial treatment.
2 hour: $115
3 hour: $156
4 hour: $189
