Por qué reservar
Hammam Torgan is a traditional Moroccan hammam and spa at Hjar Laaroussi on the route de Sebta, at the northern edge of Tetouan on the road out to M'diq.
It is split into two adjoining institutes, one for men and one for women, which is how Moroccan hammams normally work.
The circuit is a full thermal one, with steam rooms, contrast baths and heated loungers rather than a single wash room.
It is a modern spa hammam rather than a medina one, which suits anyone who wants a longer treatment menu than the standard black soap and scrub sequence.
Tratamientos
The base circuit runs about 45 minutes, with a black soap exfoliation, ghassoul clay and a gentle facial scrub.
A longer version adds an argan oil massage over roughly an hour.
A foam ritual option uses orange blossom soap with body and facial scrubs and a nourishing mask, over about 90 minutes.
The fullest option combines the foam ritual and the massage across about two hours.
Towels, soaps, slippers and a hair dryer are provided, and a mint tea closes the session.
Mejor época
Men and women enter separately at Hammam Torgan, as at every Moroccan hammam, so a couple will be split for the treatment.
The cooler months suit a hot room best, and that is when Moroccans use the hammam most.
Sessions leave the last ten minutes for rest, so allow more time than the treatment length suggests.
