Things to know about Hammam experience
What is a Hammam experience?
A Hammam is a wellness experience that offers a series of treatments designed to deep cleanse and relax the body. The process includes several steps aimed at purifying and rejuvenating, starting with a soothing steam sauna to unwind. This is followed by a body exfoliation using an eco-friendly scrubbing cloth, an optional quick fix massage with our signature shower gel, and ending with a relaxing moment to enjoy Moroccan tea and treats.
What should I bring for my Hammam Experience?
- For the Collective Hammam Experience:
You’ll need to bring your bathing suit (mandatory in the steam room)—bikinis are ideal so you can remove the top during the scrub session if you're comfortable. Feel free to bring your own shampoo and conditioner, "Kessa" scrubbing cloth and black soap or you can purchase them at the spa for future use.
We’ve got everything else covered! You’ll be provided with slip-resistant sandals, and soft cotton towel. A locker for your belongings, hairdryers and plastic bags for your wet bathing suit are available in the changing room.
Citrus water, herbal tea, Moroccan mint tea, and delicious treats are available throughout your stay.
- For the Private Suite Hammam Experience:
You’ll need to bring your bathing suit—bikinis work best so you can remove the top during the scrub session if you're comfortable. Feel free to bring your own Kassa scrubbing cloth, or you can purchase one at the spa for future use.
We’ll take care of everything else, from premium body care products to a luxurious cotton bathrobe, slip-resistant sandals, and a locker for your belongings, with hairdryers available in the changing room. Citrus water, herbal tea, Moroccan mint tea, and delicious treats are available throughout your stay. When it’s time to leave, we’ll provide a compostable bag for your wet bathing suit.
How many people will be in the collective Hammam?
We limit our Collective Hammam Experience to a maximum of 5 guests at a time. This ensures a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere where you can fully unwind, whether you're solo or with a small group of friends or family.
Looking for more privacy? You can book a private suite for 1 or 2 people and enjoy the experience at your own pace.
Things to know about Nordic experience
What is a Nordic Experience?
A Nordic Experience is a revitalizing wellness ritual that combines cycles of heat, cold, and rest to restore balance and rejuvenate the body. You’ll begin with a session in the sauna to relax your muscles, followed by a refreshing cold shower or plunge to invigorate your senses. After a brief rest, the experience continues with a steam room session, followed by another round of cooling down in the cold plunge or shower. Between each cycle, you'll enjoy moments of rest to allow your body to recover. The experience concludes with relaxation in our serene space to indulge your senses, sipping herbal tea or Moroccan mint tea, and enjoying delicious treats for a complete refresh.
What should I bring for my Nordic experience?
You’ll only need your bathing suit (and a water bottle if you'd like). We’ve got the rest covered!
You’ll receive cotton towels, a soft waffle bathrobe, and slip-resistant sandals when you arrive, plus a locker to store your belongings. In the changerooms, we provide our Spa signature shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, along with hairdryers. Citrus water, herbal tea, Moroccan mint tea, and delicious treats are available throughout your stay. When it’s time to leave, we’ll provide a compostable bag for your wet bathing suit.
How many people will be in the Nordic Circuit?
We limit the Nordic Circuit to a maximum of 4 guests at any time, ensuring an intimate and peaceful experience. Whether you're enjoying it solo, with a partner, or a small group of friends or family, you can relax and unwind without the crowds.
When should I arrive?
We recommend arriving 5-10 minutes before your scheduled appointment to check in and get settled. If it’s your first visit, we’re happy to guide you through the spa amenities and explain how to make the most of your experience. To ensure everyone enjoys a smooth and relaxing visit, we kindly ask that you respect your scheduled time.
Where can I park?
You can find free 1-hour and 2-hour street parking along Pretoria Street.
What is the atmosphere like at the spa?
Our spa is a peaceful retreat, divided into zones for the most relaxing experience. The Nordic Circuit, the main Hammam room, and the Relaxation area are Quiet Zones, where we ask guests to speak softly to maintain tranquility. The Sauna and Steam Rooms are Silent Zones, dedicated to quiet reflection and unwinding. To preserve this serene atmosphere, we kindly ask that all electronic devices be left in your locker during your visit, allowing everyone to fully relax and enjoy the experience.
For private events, guests have the freedom to choose their own atmosphere, whether it's a quiet retreat or a more social, celebratory ambiance.
Are the spa products suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes! All of our products used for body treatments are natural, argan oil-based, and designed to hydrate and nourish the skin. Our Kassa exfoliation gloves are soft and gentle, but we recommend avoiding any areas with skin conditions like eczema, rashes, or open wounds to ensure the best care for your sensitive skin.
