Biba Beauty
A Lady's Sanctuary
In the days of the Sultans, brides would pamper themselves for hours in the various chambers of the Hammam prior to their weddings, wholly dedicated to the pursuit of personal beauty. These fortunate would receive delicate skin treatments, exotic body wraps- often based on family recipes, passed on from one generation to another- and of course, the black soap or clay body wrap treatments.
Like Earth itself, our bodies are comprised of mostly water. And we need to replenish this liquid, as rain replenishes Earth. Ancient Greeks found knowledge and wisdom in water's caress; it is notable that we too, can find spiritual renewal in life sustaining water.
The French have an expression, être bien dans sa peau- to feel good in one's skin.
An Aromatic facial with scented oil improves skin tone while reducing tension and easing any worry lines. The massage movements stimulate the blood circulation and bring nourishment to the skin to encourage cell renewal and the elimination of waste. These truly pampering treatments leave you feeling and looking years younger with glowing healthy skin. Enjoy the delights of pampering.
You will get pampered from head to toe:
- Body Buffing and Refreshing Scrub
- Perfumed Steam Bath
- Essential Rose Body Wrap
- Facial Massage
- Reflexology Work- out
- Paraffin Wax for the Feet
- Specialised Mask Treatment
Alladin
The power of the Hammam
No one and nothing was permitted to disturb the timeless moment in this temple dedicated to wellbeing.
Deadlines, financial pressure, the demands of family, friends and children all motivate us in a positive and negative way. We all get wrapped up in our own stress cycles, our bodies undergo physiological changes, and as a result our energy soars. There is a simple solution to this modern dilemma, and that is to follow the pathway that the ancient cultures laid down in order to keep life in balance and to stay free of disease. That is to learn the art of tranquillity.
We suggest the wisdom of ancient spa treatments:
- Finnish Spa: Therapeutic Sauna
- Turkish Bath: Steam Bath
- Oriental Spa: Thai Yoga Massage
Arabian Bath
An Oasis of Steam
The Oriental Steam Bath has long played part in the cultural and social life of eastern cities. Entering the Hammam is akin to a journey; winding corridors turn this way and that, dramatic archways entice you; until suddenly, one enters the heart of the Hammam, a haven of space, warmth and comfort. The calming sound of running water echoes from the ornately tiled walls, while the gentle and gracious attendant completes the sense of escape.
The construction of the Spa with double volume mosaic- decorated rooms allows for absolute privacy and freedom of movement.
This is an exclusive spa experience for couples because we only take one couple for the evening as from 6pm onwards to ensure an intimate experience.
You will receive the following treatments:
- Floral Soap Up
- Therapeutic Sauna
- Therapeutic Massage Ritual
- Perfumed Steam Bath
BRING A BOTTLE OF YOUR FAVOURITE WINE TO ENJOY WITH AN APPERATIF ON THE ROOFTOP UNDER AFRICAN NIGHT SKIES.
Gypsies Dancing
Rediscover Tradition
The treatment begins with a vigorous exfoliation, beginning with the back and moving to the face, neck, shoulders, chest, stomach, hips, legs and feet- care is taken over every inch of the body, leaving the guest, in effect, with a new skin.
Resting, fully relaxed on a heated marble slab, the expert masseur attends to your body's every need, rejuvenating your skin and invigorating tired muscles. The masseurs- experts from Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey, known locally as "Tayels" or "Tellaks"- are masters of their art.
The construction of the Spa with double volume mosaic- decorated rooms allows for absolute privacy and freedom of movement. A sauna, and a steam bath, plus a hot tub in the bamboo court yard are the main attractions of the spa.

The Harem
In Search of Lost Time
"In Ancient Times, water had divine powers; Greek myth holds that Okeanos, the father of the springs and rivers, was conceived when Earth coupled with heaven."
Dressed in a traditional wrap known as a perstemal and loose sandals, one is guided to the heart of the Hammam. When one enters the Hammam, one leaves the outside world in the changing room and in ancient times, there was little hurry to return to it. Here movement is scares and spare and, while the body perspires, the mind is free to relax.
The Harem Package is an exclusive spa experience for friends because we accommodate a small group of not more than 6 people for a morning or late afternoon session to ensure an intimate experience. Treatments include both hydro and beauty Rituals.
You will receive the following treatments:
- Exfoliation with Sea Salts
