Luxury Spas & Spa Holidays in Morocco

Morocco has the power to awaken the senses through the tremendous range of sights, sounds, smells and delicious local food. Add to that a spa experience to further enhance your senses and indulge in some relaxation, you are sure to return home invigorated in mind, body and spirit.

Morocco has an exceptional selection of spa treatments through its traditions of hammams (steam baths), massages and use of highly therapeutic natural products, some of which are unique to Morocco.

Natural products often used include essential oils such as Rose Absolute (from the Dades Valley), Rhassoul mud (famed for its strong cleansing properties and mined only in Morocco), and oils such as argan (native to the south of Morocco). In addition, soft olive oil soaps, body scrubs and various herbal products including henna may restore the quality of the skin and hair.

A wide range and large number of our accommodations offer treatments or can arrange massages, from luxury properties with purpose-built state of the art spas to inexpensive visits to the traditional hammams, so most budgets can be satisfied.
