When Vogue refers to a city as a “must-visit” destination, you know it’s serious. Known for its rich history, arts, culture, and cuisine, Casablanca, Morocco comes off much less like a tourist spot and more as a retreat for seasoned travelers. The bustling metropolitan city really has something for everyone—and naturally, that includes a spa scene.

Guests can enjoy massages, facials, and mani-pedis galore. A unique attribute to the spa scene here is its emphasis on the sensory experience.

Gaia Spa has been described as, “An experience to be savored like a rare tea from a distant land,” according to a personal spa review. With a description like that, who wouldn’t be intrigued? Our curiosities were satisfied when we entered the dim-lit, luxurious space. Most rooms are adorned with decadent Parisien THÉMAÉ skincare while guests can choose from an array of treatment options.

You have everything from your traditional Hammam and massages to facials, couples treatments, and hair removal. There’s even a beautiful view of nature from the windows. Ultimately, you’ll leave feeling recharged and ready for whatever else your day holds.

If you’re on a rare visit to Morocco and you want the full cultural experience, Spa Royal Mansour Casablanca offers the full package. From the meticulous decor to an experience for the senses, the spa at the legendary Royal Mansour Casablanca hotel offers an unparalleled setting for relaxation. Two massive wellness floors offer a fitness area, traditional hammam, and serene treatment rooms.

While you can choose from an array of facials, massages, nail and hair services, we recommend opting for a specialty hammam treatment. You can learn more about the meaning and historical relevance of hammams here, but it’s worth noting that this location offers a selection of unique hammam services you won’t find elsewhere. A majority of the services are 75-minutes long and include detoxifying, energizing, indulgent, and relaxing treatments.
