- Traditional Moroccan Bath with Hammam Ritual
In addition to providing romantic Moroccan-inspired architecture, Marrakesh Hua Hin Resort & Spa has joined with Dumoroc Trading Co., the importer of premium luxury quality spa products OR’AGAN to create a Moroccan traditional style Hammam Spa with authentic argan oil. A Hammam Spa is the ancient bathing ritual of Morocco, now the new signature treatment at Noora Spa. Meticulously based on the original treatment, Noora uses argan oil, a rare plant extracted from the kernel of argan fruit and legendary for its benefits to the skin.
- Secret of Marrakesh’s Moroccan Hammam Spa
(1) Argan Oil – The world’s most expensive oil
Argan. An ancient miracle, captured in bottles.
Argan trees are only native to Morocco, and are sufficiently precious that the existing plantation is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The trees, which can live to 200 years, produce argan fruits which must be selected, hand-cracked, and cold pressed to extract the oil.
Known in skin-care circles as “liquid gold”, argan oil contains up to 99 percent fatty acids that act like an elixir to restore youthfulness to the skin. It increases skin firmness and reduces wrinkles, protect it from the sun, and even restore life to dull hair.
Argan oil contains three times more vitamin E than olive oil. Its richness in vitamin A also boosts growth in body cells and increases flows of minerals and vitamins. Europeans actually consume argan oil in capsules to fully enjoy its many benefits. Noora Spa’s argan oil imported by OR’AGAN is 100 percent pure argan oil, from the best plantation in Morocco, proudly employed in our genuine Mammam Spa treatments.
(2) Marrakesh’s Signature Essential Oils
The finest cocktail you’ll never drink. Marrakesh’s three signature scents of essential oils – Breeze, Starry Night and Oasis – are exclusively designed for treatments at Noora Spa.
“Breeze”
Light and airy with the refreshing breath of extract of spearmint, the crucial ingredient in traditional Moroccan mint tea.
“Starry Night”
Inspired by the clear skies of the desert at night, with blends of Sandalwood, Cedarwood and Benzoin to soothe and calm the mind.
“Oasis”
Kissed with an exotic blend of basil – the staple herb in Moroccan cooking – and Thai herb lemongrass that refreshes like a lush oasis amid the arid desert.
(3) Black Soap
Don’t be scared of the dark.
Noora Spa’s Black Soap is made of olive oil mixed with eucalyptus. It gently exfoliates, with a mild disinfectant effect that can kill bacteria.
(4) Ghassoul Clay that shapes you.
Ghassoul or clay from the Atlas mountains in Morocco, deeply cleanses the skin, stimulates cell renewal, promotes elasticity and gives back a natural glow to the skin.
(5) Marrakesh’s Massage Oil with Organic Argan Oil
Argan by nature, scents by Marrakesh.
Our massage uses pure argan oil in your choice of three scents – Breeze, Starry Night and Oasis -- gently dripped on the body. This signature treatment at Noora Spa blends Western and Eastern techniques together to create a moment of pure bliss and deep skin therapy.
- The Hammam Ritual
Arabian nights start with Arabian beauty.
Step one: Heat
The treatment begins with a heat-prep of the skin, using a sauna to open the pores while aromatic oils on hot stones create a relaxing aromatherapy environment.
Step two: Cleanse
A warm shower using Black Soap gets rid of dull, dead skin cells. Rich in germicide agents, Black Soap is slathered on the skin and left on for minutes, then rinsed off with warm water. The skin is then scrubbed down thoroughly with special gloves to get rid of accumulated impurities and boost blood circulation.
Step three: Wrap
Ghassoul’s volcanic minerals and seven plants extract are given a deep cleaning for the skin, moisturizing, and giving back elasticity.
Step four: Tea break
In following traditional Moroccan ritual, the treatment pauses to rehydrate the body with fluid and heavenly fragrance through the drinking of mint tea.
Step 5: Enter the argan
Pure argan oil in your choice of three scents – Breeze, Starry Night and Oasis – is gently dripped on the body while the massage, which blends Western and Eastern therapeutic techniques, precisely relieves tension and rejuvenated joints and muscles while allowing the argan oil’s special properties to nourish and strengthen skin.
The multi-step treatment maximizes your energy and refreshes both mind and body for a restored and bright outlook. Exclusive to Noora Spa, this unique spa massage treatment combines the power of traditional technique, exquisite environment, and effective products.
