Why book
Spa Laaroussa at Riad Laaroussa in Fez is a private hammam inside a restored riad at 3 Derb Bechara, in the medina.
The steam room is the riad's own, lined in Carrara marble rather than tiled like a neighbourhood bath house.
Only two people are treated at a time, with appointments on the hour, so the room is not shared with strangers.
Men and women are welcomed in the same session, which many Moroccan public hammams do not allow.
The riad offers a free pick up service inside the medina, useful when the lanes are hard to follow.
Treatments
The Deluxe Hammam uses eucalyptus black soap and a body scrub and runs 45 minutes.
A therapist bathes you, applies an aromatic body scrub, then a ghassoul clay facial mask.
The Relaxing Massage with essential oils lasts 45 minutes and is given in a separate massage area after a rest.
Disposable underwear is provided for the hammam, and you can wear your own or a swimsuit bottom instead.
Price range
The Deluxe Hammam with eucalyptus black soap and body scrub is 390 MAD for 45 minutes.
The Relaxing Massage with essential oils is 420 MAD for 45 minutes.
Gift certificates are sold and a light snack menu is available in the riad.
Opening hours
Spa Laaroussa is open every day from 10am to 9pm.
Appointments run every hour.
Up to two people are treated at the same time, and men and women are welcomed in the same session.
Best time
The 9pm close means a late evening slot is possible, unusual for a Fez riad spa.
With only two places per hour, ask for a time a day ahead in high season.
A hammam after a long walk through the medina beats one before it.
