Traditional Hammam
Marrakech Hammam: The Authentic Traditional Ritual
Looking for a hammam in Marrakech that honors the original Moroccan ritual? Hammam & Spa El Wiam welcomes you for a traditional hammam session: hot steam, exfoliation with a kessa glove and black soap (Beldi) with olive oil, in a space designed for your comfort from start to finish.
Located in Lahebichate, on route de l'Ourika, a few minutes from Marrakech, our hammam welcomes both local regulars and travelers looking for a genuine wellness escape.
What to Expect During a Hammam Session
What to Expect During a Hammam Session
Every session follows a precise sequence, carefully passed down, for a deep purification of body and mind.
- Welcome & steam — your skin opens up and relaxes in the humid heat of the hammam room.
- Kessa glove exfoliation — a deep scrub to remove dead skin cells and reveal fresh, renewed skin.
- Black soap (Beldi) & rose petals — a traditional, silky cleanse, exactly as the Moroccan ritual calls for.
- Warm then cool rinse — to close the pores and seal in that just-cleansed feeling.
- Extend the experience — follow up with a massage or facial for complete relaxation.
