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 £90 for 2 people including the bath with scrub and 1-hour massage. As the spa is intimate and private, each session is an exclusive experience. Book 24 hours in advance.

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.

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 this experience or for those who value their privacy.

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.

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.
Le Riad Vendôme is classified by the Moroccan Ministry of Tourism.
