Riad with spa & hammam: what does it include?
A spa riad is not just accommodation with a pool, it is a traditional Marrakech house with a functioning hammam and real treatments on the premises. The traditional Moroccan hammam, steam, kessa scrub, beldi soap, is fundamentally different from a simple steam room. In the riads we select, treatments take place inside the property itself, often in a dedicated space separate from the bedrooms.
Our spa riad selection covers three verified addresses in the Medina. Riad Djemanna, at 69 Derb El Halfaoui near Bab Doukkala (15-minute walk from Jemaa el-Fna), has a hammam with steam room, open-air bath, spa relaxation lounge and full treatments on demand: massage, facial, manicure, pedicure, body treatments, hair, waxing. 2 pools (one plunge, one indoor seasonal), 10 rooms, Moroccan restaurant table d'hôte, breakfast included, trilingual staff. Rated 4.7/5 from 237 reviews. Riad Jil & Spa, in the Diour Jdad neighbourhood of northern Medina (near Jardin Secret), offers a full hammam & spa, rooftop pool, heated indoor pool, hot tub, on-site restaurant, salon and 24h reception. 14 rooms, recently renovated. Rated 9.4/10 on Booking (57 reviews). Riad De Vinci, in northern Medina near Ben Youssef Medersa, features an in-house spa, 3 plunge pools and a rooftop terrace. 19 rooms, contemporary design. Rated 8.9/10 on Booking and 4/5 on TripAdvisor (~492 reviews).
Practically: our local concierge can pre-book your hammam session, treatments and transfers before you arrive. The heated indoor pool at Riad Jil & Spa makes it the ideal wellness destination in winter. For a birthday, hen or stag party, a privatised hammam with bespoke treatments is available on request, just let us know on WhatsApp.

Getting the most from the hammam & spa in a riad
Book the hammam in advance
Hammam and treatment slots fill quickly, especially in high season. Tell us your preferences (scrub, massage, steam access) at booking time: our concierge reserves your slot.
Traditional hammam vs modern spa
The traditional Moroccan hammam (steam + kessa + beldi soap) is different from a contemporary spa. Both are available at our addresses. If you want the authentic experience, ask for "traditional hammam"; for modern treatments, ask for "spa treatments".
Heated indoor pool for winter stays
From November to March, outdoor courtyard pools can be cool. Riad Jil & Spa has a heated indoor pool and hot tub, the ideal option for a winter wellness stay.
