For centuries, Morocco has cultivated a unique art of wellness that fascinates the world. Between the ancestral rituals of the Moroccan hammam and the use of exceptional natural products such as argan oil or ghassoul, Moroccan natural treatments embody a life philosophy where beauty and health are one.

Yesterday's Morocco: Cradle of Wellness Traditions
The history of Moroccan natural treatments goes back several millennia, long before the concept of spa became a global industry. In traditional Morocco, the Moroccan hammam was not simply a place of bodily purification, but a true pillar of social and cultural life.
Traditional Moroccan natural treatments relied entirely on local resources: clay from the Middle Atlas for ghassoul, black soap handcrafted from black olives, precious oils manually extracted from argan nuts by Berber cooperatives, and a multitude of aromatic and medicinal plants harvested in the mountains.

Argan Oil: Liquid Gold of Morocco
Nicknamed 'liquid gold', argan oil is undoubtedly the most famous Moroccan natural product internationally. At Janate Spa in Marrakech, our therapists exclusively use cold-pressed argan oil, thus guaranteeing optimal quality and effectiveness for your skin and hair.

The Moroccan Hammam: Between Tradition and Modernity
The Moroccan hammam probably represents the most emblematic expression of Moroccan natural treatments. Yesterday, the hammam was a rustic community space where one came to purify oneself in an atmosphere of hot steam.
Today, the Moroccan hammam has reinvented itself without losing its soul. In our spa in Marrakech, we have created private hammam spaces where the traditional experience is sublimated by modern comfort.
