Les Bains Romains is the spa of the Villa Mandarine, a 36 room hotel set in a three hectare orange grove on rue Ouled Bousbaa in the Souissi district of Rabat. The spa is on the lower floor and holds a traditional hammam, a sauna, a jacuzzi and a treatment cabin for massages, facials and nail care. It is a small, quiet spa rather than a big hotel wellness floor, which is the point of it.
Por qué reservar
Les Bains Romains is the spa of the Villa Mandarine in Rabat, a 36 room hotel inside a three hectare orange grove in Souissi.
The hammam is a small tadelakt and marble room rather than a large public bath house, so a session feels private.
The same lower floor holds a sauna, a jacuzzi and a treatment cabin, which keeps the whole circuit in one place.
The hotel around it is a converted family house filled with antiques and contemporary art, with a heated outdoor pool in the gardens.
The gym next door is open 24 hours a day, with a treadmill, a static bike, an elliptical, weight machines and a step.
