Your Spa in a Marrakech Riad

The steam bath and massage are the two pillars of Moroccan wellness culture. At Riad Vendôme, we carry on these ancestral rituals in a private and authentic setting. Our oriental hammam, built in marble and tadelakt, is equipped with a professional steam generator that produces gentle, moist heat at 40-45°C, very different from the scalding steam of public hammams. Our qualified beauticians perform each black soap scrub and massage with personalised attention, using exclusively natural Moroccan products.

Spa open to external visitors: not staying at the riad? Enjoy a half-day spa (morning 10:00-13:30 or afternoon 13:00-18:00) from €98 for 2 people including the hammam with scrub and 1-hour duo massage. As the spa is intimate and private, each session is an exclusive experience. Book 24 hours in advance.

Riad Vendôme & Spa will introduce you to the benefits of a Spa in a Marrakech riad. After this moment of relaxation, you will feel rejuvenated in body and mind, ready to leave full of energy after your spa weekend in Marrakech.

A spa in the heart of the historic medina. Nestled in an alleyway of the Dar El Bacha district, the most prestigious district of the medina, the Riad Vendôme is 7 minutes on foot from Jemaa El-Fna square and 10 minutes from the Ben Youssef Madrasa. This location allows you to combine a spa session with cultural discovery of Marrakech: dyers' souk, Bahia Palace, secret gardens of the medina. The steam bath becomes a natural part of your sightseeing day.

Private hammam or public hammam: how to choose? Marrakech's public hammams (Bab Doukkala, Mellah) offer an immersive cultural experience at low cost (€5-10), but comfort is minimal and privacy non-existent. The Riad Vendôme offers a private hammam with all modern comforts (steam generator, organic products, clean linen) in an authentic architectural setting, the best of both worlds. It's particularly recommended for a first hammam experience or for those who value their privacy.

Spa and golf in Marrakech: Riad Vendôme offers combined golf and spa packages. Marrakech boasts 11 golf courses (Royal Golf, Amelkis, Al Maaden, Assoufid..) all within 20 to 30 minutes by car. After 18 hothe in the Moroccan sun, a steam bath and toning massage are the perfect complement. We arrange transfers to the courses and green fee bookings. See our golf packages.

Our tips for getting the most from the steam bath

  1. Prepare properly: Before your session, make sure you are well hydrated by drinking water. Also, avoid eating a heavy meal just before to aid digestion.
  2. Choose the right time: Opt for quiet hours for a calmer and more relaxed atmosphere.
  3. Bring appropriate clothing: Bring a light jacket and socks to cover up after your session and stay warm during the relaxation phase.
  4. Avoid strong fragrances: During the steam bath and massage session, it is recommended not to wear strong perfumes, as strong scents can be overwhelming for other participants.
  5. Respect the rituals: In a traditional Marrakech hammam, there are specific rituals such as using black soap for exfoliation or applying essential oils. Follow these practices to fully enjoy the benefits of the steam bath.
  6. Let go and relax: enjoy the soothing atmosphere of the steam bath, let your mind free itself from daily worries and allow yourself a moment of total relaxation.
  7. Follow the staff's recommendations: the steam bath experts will guide and advise you throughout your session. Feel free to ask questions and follow their advice to optimise your experience.
  8. Hydrate after your session: After your steam bath and massage session, make sure to hydrate well by drinking water to compensate for fluid loss from perspiration.

Beauty treatments at Riad Vendôme go well beyond the steam bath and massage. We offer complete facial treatments (cleansing, scrub, mask, serum, facial massage) with a choice of oriental product ranges from The Sens of Marrakech and Nectarome, or Western brands L'Oréal Paris and Academy. Manicure and pedicure complete your beauty day. All treatments are performed by our professional beauticians in the quiet of the patio or on the rooftop.

Our natural Moroccan products: every treatment at Riad Vendôme uses 100% natural and traceable products. The black soap is made artisanally from black olives from Fès. Rhassoul comes from the Moulouya mines in the Middle Atlas: it's the only clay in the world to contain natural silicon, magnesium, iron and zinc in significant quantities. The organic argan oil is produced by women's cooperatives in the Essaouira region, through fair trade. We also source our rose water from the Dadès Valley and our essential oils from the Ouarzazate region (lavender, rosemary, peppermint).

Why choose the steam bath of the Riad Vendôme?

The steam bath at Riad Vendôme stands out from Marrakech's public hammams with its private and authentic setting. Built in marble and tadelakt (traditional waterproof lime plaster), it is equipped with a professional steam generator capable of producing gentle, enveloping steam at 45°C, unlike traditional wood-heated hammams where temperature control is less precise.

Our qualified beauticians perform each treatment with 100% natural and organic products: the black soap is handcrafted from black olives from the Fès region, the rhassoul comes from the Moulouya mines in the Middle Atlas, and our argan oil is certified organic and fair trade, sourced from women's cooperatives in the Essaouira region.

Located in the neighbourhood Dar El Bacha, considered the finest district of the medina, the riad is 7 minutes on foot from Jemaa El-Fna square and 10 minutes from the museum of Marrakech and the Medersa Ben Youssef. An ideal location to combine wellness and cultural discovery.

Book your session hammam & massage

Practical information: The spa is open every day from 9am to 9pm, including weekends and public holidays. The most popular time slots are mornings (10am-12pm) for complete hammam + massage sessions. During high season , book 24 to 48 hours in advance. We welcome both riad guests and external visitors. Payment by cash, credit card, bank transfer or cryptocurrency. Book via WhatsApp on +212 600 608 608 - reply within minutes.

Brunch + Spa Packages - Morning Wellness

Brunch is always paired with the spa, never sold standalone.

Recovery sportive after the Marathon

Every January, the Marrakech Marathon attracts thousands of runners. Our spa is the ideal place for post-marathon recovery: hammam to eliminate toxins, sports massage with argan oil for tired muscles, and the heated jacuzzi for deep relaxation. Book our Runner's Package (3 days/2 nights, from €148/person) including energising breakfast + hammam + 1-hour massage.

🥂 Parenthèse Champagne, romantic spa for two (€175 / 2 people): Traditional hammam, rooftop jacuzzi & pool access, a 1-hour relaxing couples massage and a bottle of Champagne, to enjoy together. A premium romantic experience, perfect for a birthday, a proposal or a romantic escape.

Children Welcome: Family-Friendly Spa Experience

Travelling with kids? Your children won't be bored at Riad Vendôme. While parents enjoy a private hammam ritual or relaxing massage (reserved for adults, hammam and massage from age 5), accompanied children have access to the patio pool and the rooftop jacuzzi under parental supervision. Family-size spa robes and a tailored welcome for families. We adapt the timing of treatments around your family arrangements: just let Éric know when booking via WhatsApp +212 600 608 608.

Very popular with families: calm atmosphere, pleasant patio, authentic spa and hammam. A great balance between comfort and price, away from the rush of palace-hotels.

The Moroccan massage at Riad Vendôme

A Moroccan massage is given after the hammam, once the skin has been warmed by the steam and scrubbed with black soap: that is the traditional order, and it is what sets it apart from a standard spa massage. Our therapists work with argan oil, pressed in Morocco, on long enveloping movements rather than on pressure points. An hour of Moroccan massage with argan oil can be booked on its own, or as part of the hammam + massage package. Two massage rooms, one of them for massages in pairs.

How to choose a spa in Marrakech

There are three kinds and they do not offer the same thing. A neighbourhood public hammam is cheap, busy, single-sex and takes no booking: a local experience rather than a quiet moment. A hotel spa is comfortable and standardised, often outside the medina. A riad spa like ours is a private space inside a medina house, where you are alone with the person treating you, by appointment.

Packages start at 49 € per person for the hammam and a one-hour massage. The hammam on its own is 25 €, a one-hour massage 38 €, 54 € with the pool and 58 € with the pool and the jacuzzi. Exact rate according to your dates, the length of the stay and the number of guests: written quote within minutes on WhatsApp.

You do not need to be staying here. The spa is open to outside visitors by appointment, which is what most people ask first. And if you are staying, book your first treatment for the second day rather than the first: you arrive tired from the journey, and the hammam is worth more once you have slept.

How do you choose a spa in Marrakech?

Decide first what you want from the afternoon. A public hammam is inexpensive and sociable but busy and single-sex. A hotel spa is standardised and usually outside the medina. A riad spa is private and by appointment, with one therapist for you. Packages here start at 49 € per person for the hammam and a one-hour massage.

Private spa hire for groups in Marrakech

Can you book the whole spa privately for a group in Marrakech?

Yes. Riad Vendôme & Spa offers private spa hire for groups of 2 to 20 people, ideal for hen parties, birthdays and corporate seminars. The hammam and the spa are privatised on request for team buildings, executive retreats and corporate seminars, which means no other guests during your slot. The full treatment list and rates are on the spa and massage price list.

How much does a group spa day in Marrakech cost per person?

It is priced per person, not per group: the traditional hammam is 25 € per person and the hammam with a one-hour massage is 49 € per person. A duo massage on the rooftop is 84 € for the pair. There is no minimum spend for the room itself, so a group of six pays six times the treatment it chooses. Compare the formulas on the spa and massage price list.

Group, couple or on your own: which spa formula should you choose?

On your own, the hammam at 25 € or the hammam and one-hour massage at 49 € is the usual starting point. For two, the duo massage at 84 € for the pair is booked side by side on the rooftop. For a group, the spa is privatised on request for up to 20 people and the treatments stay priced per person. Every rate is listed on the spa and massage price list.

Why book Riad Vendôme rather than a regular hotel in Marrakech?

Riad Vendôme is more than accommodation: it's a complete experience platform with 11 dedicated activity branches all coordinated by Éric (owner since 2011). Unlike traditional hotels where you book a room and arrange activities separately, at Riad Vendôme you have a single interlocutor for: private riad (12 rooms for up to 36 guests, up to 50 with the partner riad), spa & hammam, Chef Naima cooking classes (5/5), Day Pass without overnight, yoga retreats, birthdays, corporate seminars, golf packages on 11 courses, hen & stag parties, Morocco circuits (Agafay, Atlas, Essaouira), and direct booking with no commission. One contact, one quote, one coordinated experience.

Where exactly is Riad Vendôme located in Marrakech?

Riad Vendôme is at 217 Derb El Halfaoui, in the Dar El Bacha district of the Marrakech medina. It is a 7-minute walk from Jemaa El-Fna square, close to the Koutoubia and the souks, so you reach the main sights on foot without needing a taxi. A member of staff meets you at the nearest vehicle drop-off point on arrival.

How do I book, and how quickly do you reply?

You book directly with the riad, not through a platform. Send your dates and group size on WhatsApp at +212 600 608 608 and you receive a written quote within minutes. There is no automated booking engine: every stay is confirmed by a person, and the payment terms are set out in the quote you receive.

Can the whole riad be privatised, and for how many guests?

Yes, Riad Vendôme can be hired exclusively. The main riad has 12 rooms and goes up to 20 rooms with a partner riad 100 metres away, for exclusive hire of up to 50 guests. During an exclusive hire there are no other guests: the pool, hammam, jacuzzi and rooftop are reserved for your group alone.

When in the stay should the hammam be booked, on the arrival day or later?

On the second day, not on the arrival day. After a flight, a transfer and check-in at 15:00, a steam bath and a black-soap scrub leave most guests half asleep for the evening, and the first dinner is wasted. We keep day one for the pool, the rooftop jacuzzi at 36°C and a quiet dinner in the patio, and we place the hammam on the morning or the afternoon of day two, when the body has rested. Slots are held for riad guests, so tell Éric your arrival time on WhatsApp +212 600 608 608 and the slot is set in writing before you land.

How far in advance should the hammam and massage slots be reserved?

Before you arrive, in the same message as the room. The hammam is private and takes one group at a time, so on a full riad the good slots on day two go first. Éric confirms the day and the hour in writing with your quote within minutes; changing an hour on the spot is usually possible, finding a free hour on the arrival evening is not. Ask on WhatsApp +212 600 608 608.

Understanding Moroccan Hammam Ingredients

The quality of a Moroccan steam bath experience depends largely on the ingredients used. The three pillars are savon beldi (black olive soap), kessa (the exfoliating glove), and ghassoul (volcanic clay from the Middle Atlas mountains).

Savon beldi is made from olive oil, water and potassium hydroxide, fermented and aged, not manufactured. Its texture is somewhere between a gel and a paste, dark brown in colour, with a distinctive earthy scent. Applied to steam-softened skin, it loosens the surface layer of dead cells and opens the pores before the kessa scrub begins. The kessa glove, woven from natural fibres: removes this layer through friction, revealing the skin beneath. The process sounds aggressive; on well-steamed skin, it feels like removing a layer of fine powder.

Ghassoul (also written as rhassoul) is a smectite clay mineral mined from the Moulouya river basin in the Middle Atlas. It carries a negative ionic charge that attracts and binds positively-charged impurities, sebum, environmental pollutants, product residue, drawing them out of the skin when it is rinsed away. The result is a deep clean that feels fundamentally different from soap-based cleansing: not stripped or tight, but smooth and slightly mineral-scented. At Riad Vendôme, the ghassoul is sourced from a traditional Moroccan supplier and applied as a heated paste in the final phase of the steam bath ritual.
