Best time
The 8pm close makes this an after beach or after souk stop rather than a morning one.
A 30 minute scrub fits into a gap in the day, while the 900 MAD Relaxation package will take most of an afternoon.
Essaouira sits in the trade winds most of the year, so the spa is the dependable indoor plan when the beach turns cold.
How to combine
The spa is inside the medina, so the souks, Place Moulay Hassan and the ramparts are all within walking distance.
A children's spa ritual is on the list, which is unusual and useful if you are travelling as a family.
Styling, makeup and waxing sit on the same menu, so it doubles as a get ready stop before dinner in town.
Pair a windy morning on the beach or at the fishing port with an afternoon scrub, which is what the salt and sand ask for.
