- What is a traditional Moroccan hammam?
- A traditional Moroccan hammam is a cleansing and relaxation ritual built on heat, water and plant-based products. You spend time in a warm steam room, your body is washed with black soap and scrubbed with a kessa glove, and a rhassoul clay mask is applied before the final rinse. At Aya Spa in Guéliz, Marrakech, the ritual starts at 200 Dhs for 30 min.
- What should I bring for the hammam?
- Bring a swimsuit and nothing more. The robe, slippers and care products used in the ritual are provided on site, and a lockable locker is at your disposal for your clothes, phone and valuables. You are offered a single-use slip if you have no swimsuit, so nothing else has to be organised before you come.
- Can I have a hammam if I have no swimsuit with me?
- You can still have the full ritual. A single-use slip is offered to you on arrival, and the robe, slippers and care products are already provided by the spa. Everything applied during the treatment, from the black soap to the kessa glove and the rhassoul clay mask, is part of the hammam you have booked.
- Where can I leave my belongings while I am inside?
- A lockable locker is provided for your clothes and belongings while you are in the hammam or the massage room. The spa accepts no responsibility for loss, so keep anything you cannot replace with you. The same locker is used for the length of your visit, including the changing time either side of the treatment.
- What other treatments can I book besides a hammam?
- The massage room offers argan oil, tonic, lymphatic draining and slimming massages, plus four-hands massages carried out by two therapists working together. The beauty and hair salon handles manicure, pedicure, depilation, facials, hair colouring and hair treatments. Any of them can be booked on its own or added to a hammam through one of the packs.
- How much does a hammam cost at Aya Spa?
- The Classic Moroccan Hammam is 30 min at 200 Dhs, the Traditional Hammam is 40 min at 300 Dhs and the Royal Hammam is 50 min at 400 Dhs. Every price includes the body scrub, black soap body washing and a clay mask. The full list of massages, beauty treatments and packs is on the price list page.
- When is Aya Spa open?
- The spa is open every day of the week, from Monday to Sunday, between 09:00 and 22:00. The hammam and the massage room are both available during those hours, and the team answers the phone and WhatsApp throughout the day. Treatments are scheduled inside those hours, so plan your visit for a time between 09:00 and 22:00.
- Where is Aya Spa located in Marrakech?
- The spa is at 111 Avenue Abdelkrim AL Khattabi, N°44, on the second floor, in the Guéliz district of Marrakech, Morocco. Guéliz sits a short walk from the medina, so the two are close together. The contact page carries the full address, a map and a directions link.
- How do I book a treatment?
- You can book on WhatsApp, by phone on +212 661 35 59 16, or through the contact form on the contact page. Tell the team which treatment you want and when you would like to come, and the time and the room are confirmed in reply. E-mail is also possible at ayaspamarrakech@gmail.com.
- Which languages does the team speak?
- The team speaks French, English, Arabic and Spanish, so you can explain what you want in your own language. The treatment descriptions, the price list, the menu and the booking pages are published in those same four languages. Nothing has to be translated before you arrive.
- Are men and women treated in separate rooms?
- Yes. Men and women are treated in separate rooms and at separate times, so each booking is confirmed for one group at a time. The hammam has a room for each, and the massage room next to it follows the same arrangement. The team tells you the time and the room when your appointment is confirmed.
- Do you host groups and private events?
- Groups and private events are welcome, including bridal showers, birthdays and corporate incentives. The spaces and the treatments are adapted to the project and a tailored quote is given for it. Send the number of people, the occasion and the date, and a proposal comes back for the visit.
