Hammam at home in Marrakech

How a hammam at home works

1. Black soap applied to damp skin to prepare for the scrub.
2. Kessa glove scrub to remove dead skin.
3. Rhassoul clay wrap (Berber Hammam) or salt and orange blossom treatment (Royal Hammam).
4. Rinsing, then an argan oil massage or argan mask, depending on the ritual.

The full sequence, with our tips, is explained in the guide hammam at home: what to expect.

No hammam in your riad? No problem

A private hammam is a real bonus, but it isn't essential: a bathroom with a shower and hot water is enough for rinsing. The massage then takes place on the table your therapist brings. We check the space with you on WhatsApp when confirming.

Hammam at home or public hammam?

• Public hammam: an authentic local experience in a shared space, with separate hours or areas for men and women.
• Spa hammam: a private hot room, but a return journey and set time slots.
• Hammam at home: the ritual in complete privacy, at your place, with no journey and a therapist who takes care of you alone.

Which hammam should you choose?

• Traditional Berber Hammam: the essentials of the ritual (black soap, kessa, rhassoul) with a 20-minute argan massage. Ideal to discover it and unwind.
• Royal Radiance & Orange Blossom Hammam: the most complete ritual, with a salt and orange blossom scrub, foot filing and an argan mask. Ideal before a special event.
