A subterranean 2,500-square-meter spa beneath the Royal Mansour hotel, built with the same traditional craftsmanship as the hotel's private riads, offering an underground hammam and pool complex.
The spa at the Royal Mansour is built entirely underground beneath the hotel's cluster of private riads, a striking architectural feat that uses roughly 2,500 square meters of subterranean space finished with the same level of traditional zellige tilework, carved plaster, and cedar detailing found throughout the rest of this exceptionally crafted property. The centerpiece hammam suite is carved from marble and lit to feel serene rather than cavernous despite its underground position, and a hydrotherapy pool with a domed ceiling forms another architectural highlight of the space. Treatment rooms extend to gold-leaf detailing in some suites, reflecting the property's reputation as one of the most lavishly constructed hotels in Morocco, built with input from hundreds of master Moroccan artisans over several years. The treatment menu spans hammam rituals, massage using Moroccan and international techniques, and facials, with strong emphasis on individualized, unhurried service befitting the hotel's exclusivity. Given its scale and standing, the spa is generally reserved primarily for hotel guests, and non-resident access, where available at all, requires advance arrangement directly with the hotel; travelers not staying at the property should confirm access before planning a visit.
