Why book
- The spa at Heure Bleue Palais in Essaouira belongs to a Relais & Châteaux hotel inside the walled medina, and it takes bookings from people who are not staying there.
- The hammam is a domed room lined in black marble and lit by candles, and it is the reason most visitors book.
- It is deliberately small, one hammam and two treatment rooms, so the place never runs like a production line.
- Treatments are built on Moroccan ingredients rather than imported spa brands: argan oil, rhassoul clay, olive black soap, prickly pear seed oil and rose petals.
- You can walk here from the souks, which makes it an easy stop at the end of a day in the medina.
