The ceremony

An ancestral ritual, handed down from hand to hand

An urban, modern hammam a few steps from the Jardins de la Fontaine, where the gestures of old are handed down. It all begins in the warmth: the steam opens the pores and releases tension, then comes the calm of the resting room.

  1. The steam

    Moist heat warms the body and prepares the skin.

  2. Black soap

    Spread on warm skin, it softens it within minutes.

  3. The scrub

    With the kessa glove, then a rhassoul or clay wrap.

  4. Rest

    A rinse with water, mint tea and a massage with scented oils.

Four worlds

  • An elegant changing room with vaulted stone walls, carved wooden lockers, a round basin, and mustard-yellow curtains.

    The hammam

    Steam, black soap and the kessa glove: hammam entry, from the age of 6.

  • A traditional tea set on a golden brass tray, featuring a teapot, glasses, and a lantern in a warm setting.

    Rituals

    Hammam, scrub, wraps and massage in a single journey, alone or for two.

  • A masseuse performing a back massage on a client lying down in a warm, dimly lit spa setting.

    Massages

    Oriental techniques, warm pouches and bespoke treatments, alone or as a couple.

  • Manicured hands resting next to a jar of La Sultane de Saba body scrub.

    Beauty

    Face and body treatments, hand and foot care, oriental waxing.
