Thalassa Sea & Spa is the wellness centre of Le Medina Essaouira Thalassa Sea & Spa, MGallery Collection, the seafront hotel on Avenue Mohamed V at the edge of the Essaouira medina. It runs 12 dry treatment cabins and 5 hydrotherapy cabins around a traditional Moroccan hammam, and works with the Thalassa Sea & Skin range alongside organic Souiri products from a local women's cooperative. The centre opens 9am to 8pm every day, although the heated indoor seawater pool stays closed while the hotel renovates until September 2026.
Why book
Thalassa Sea & Spa at Le Medina Essaouira is the spa of the seafront MGallery hotel on Avenue Mohamed V, under ten minutes on foot from the medina.
The centre runs 12 dry treatment cabins and 5 hydrotherapy cabins, one of them a duo cabin, plus two beauty cabins and two relaxation rooms.
At the middle of it sits an authentic Moroccan hammam, with a jacuzzi, a thermal bath and a solarium alongside.
Body and beauty treatments are made from organic Souiri products supplied by a local women's cooperative, next to the Thalassa Sea & Skin range.
The hotel stands on the Essaouira beachfront, so a treatment pairs easily with the outdoor M Pool, which is walled off from the wind.
Treatments
Ma Pause Ocean Souiri is the house wellness programme.
The Authentic Souiri hammam ritual is the signature hammam treatment.
A thuya wood stick massage draws on the thuya woodcraft Essaouira is known for.
The list also covers revitalising thalasso style treatments, body massages and traditional beauty care.
Products are the Thalassa Sea & Skin range plus organic Souiri products from a local women's cooperative.
Opening hours
The spa is open 9am to 8pm, seven days a week.
The fitness room opens 8am to 9pm daily, with a coach on site.
The outdoor M Pool is open 10am to 6pm daily.
The hotel is running a renovation until September 2026. The wellness area is moving from thalassotherapy to a new spa centre with hammam, massages and treatments, and the heated indoor seawater pool is closed while the work runs.
Best time
Essaouira is a trade wind town, and the spa is the dependable indoor plan on a day when the beach is unusable.
Late afternoon works well, because the spa runs until 8pm and a hammam still fits after a day in the medina.
Until September 2026 the wet circuit is limited by the renovation, so book treatments and the hammam rather than the indoor pool.
How to combine
The medina alleys, the fishing port and the Kasbah are all within a short walk of the hotel.
Essaouira beach starts a couple of minutes from the door, so a morning on the sand and an afternoon hammam fit together.
The hotel keeps three restaurants: MBeach for the day's catch facing the ocean, MPool beside the pool, and L'Arganier for breakfast and dinner.
The ramparts above the town give the wide Atlantic view that most visitors come for, and they are on the same walk.
