Perché prenotare
Heritage Spa in Marrakech is a hammam and massage spa in the Bab Doukkala quarter of the medina, with its original house at 40 Arset Aouzal.
It now runs three restored riads within a few streets of each other, at Arset Aouzal, Derb Jdid and Derb El Hajra.
Prices are published on the menu instead of being negotiated at the door, which is unusual for a medina spa.
The treatment rooms are riad rooms rather than clinic rooms: zellij dados, carved plaster cornices and lantern light.
It is a short walk from Dar El Bacha and the Bab Doukkala Mosque, so it slots into a medina afternoon without a taxi.
Trattamenti
Traditional and Authentic Hammam, 45 minutes, and the Rejuvenating Royal Dream Hammam, 50 minutes.
Six massages, from a 30 minute foot massage to a 60 minute four hands massage.
Longer therapies of 1h45 to 2h30, including a Refreshing Detox and a Jet-Lag Tension Soother.
Four facials built on argan oil, with algae, green clay or white kaolin masks, plus a prickly pear oil treatment.
The Heritage Romance duo package for two people, 2h30.

Orari di apertura
All three houses open from 10:00 to 20:00.
Each address takes a different day off: Arset Aouzal closes Wednesday, Derb Jdid closes Tuesday, Derb El Hajra closes Monday.
The spa asks you to arrive fifteen minutes before your appointment, and a late arrival does not extend the treatment.
The minimum age is six years old.
Periodo migliore
Late afternoon works well, since the spa closes at 20:00 and the souks north of Dar El Bacha are winding down by then.
Check which of the three houses is closed on the day you want, because the rest days differ.
Book ahead in high season. These are small riads, not a large hotel floor.
Come combinare
Dar El Bacha, the 1910s pasha's palace now open as the Musée des Confluences, is about 300 metres east.
The Bab Doukkala Mosque, built in 1557 for Lalla Masuda, mother of the Saadian sultan Ahmad al-Mansur, is just up the street.
Le Jardin Secret, a restored riad garden on Rue Mouassine, is around 450 metres away.
Jemaa el Fna is roughly 750 metres south through the Mouassine souks.
Heritage Spa has three addresses in the Bab Doukkala quarter of the Marrakech medina: 40 Arset Aouzal, 253 Derb Jdid and 8 Derb El Hajra. All three are within a few streets of Dar El Bacha.
The Traditional and Authentic Hammam at Heritage Spa Marrakech is 390 MAD for 45 minutes, and the Rejuvenating Royal Dream Hammam is 490 MAD for 50 minutes. Massages run from 340 MAD to 890 MAD and facials from 490 MAD.
Heritage Spa Marrakech opens 10:00 to 20:00 at all three addresses, but each takes a different rest day: Arset Aouzal is closed on Wednesday, Derb Jdid on Tuesday and Derb El Hajra on Monday.
Booking ahead is advised at Heritage Spa Marrakech because the three houses are small riads with limited cabins. The spa asks guests to arrive fifteen minutes before the appointment, and arriving late does not extend the treatment time.
Heritage Spa Marrakech sets a minimum age of six years old, so younger children cannot be brought into the treatment areas.
