A private hammam ritual

Two hours of steam, black soap, and rhassoul, in a hammam reserved for your party alone.

A private hammam ritual

The room is marble and low light, heated from below, and it is yours for the session. You start seated while the steam opens the skin, then the tayeba works black soap over you and leaves it for ten minutes.

The kessa glove comes next, and it is more thorough than most people expect. Then rhassoul clay from the Atlas, rinsed with buckets of warm water poured from the shoulder. A massage in argan oil follows in a separate room, and after that, mint tea and a long silence.

Two hours. Adults only. Book two days ahead, and eat lightly beforehand rather than after.
