How it works
A Turkish massage isn’t carried out on your run of the mill massage table; instead you’ll be led into a Turkish bath (hammam), similar to a steam room but with tiled surfaces and much larger. Traditionally the baths have a domed roof to let shafts of light in, but modern day spa hammams can also not have any natural light - Casa Spa is the latter.
Around the edge of the hammam there is a platform where you’ll be asked to sit or lie for a good 20 minutes while you work up a sweat. When your therapist re-appears, you should be feeling relaxed and with open pores, ready for a full body exfoliation with Purus Savon Noir with Argan Oil. Armed with a coarse mitt, your therapist will then pummel and slough your skin, helping you shed a layer of dirt and debris. A douse of cool water from the shower inside the hammam will follow to rinse off any grime.
Depending on your choice of treatment you may receive a gentle massage whilst applying the Purus Ghassoul mud mask from the Moroccan Atlas Mountains to your body, this beauty treatment exfoliates, regenerates, rebalances and tones the skin due to the rich, natural minerals contained in the mud. Or you may have chosen a more vigorous Turkish massage whist within the steam room.
After your treatments, it’s time for another quick rinse, then it’s off to a cooler room or relaxation area where you’ll be left to unwind and admire your sparkling skin. Moroccan tea and fresh fruits will be served to you as you share experiences with others or just close your eyes and fall asleep!
We advise our clients (both male and female) to don a swimsuit (bikini for her, shorts for him). Although traditional Turkish baths will see masseurs in no more than a pair of pants, spas do have rules and regulations against that sort of thing, so your therapist will more than likely be fully clothed or wearing a swimsuit also.
Please note: Casa Spa is a unisex hammam and the steam room can contain both men and women simultaneously. If this is something you are not happy with, please discuss it with your therapist who will do their best to accomodate.
An Arabian escape
Originally, men and women would take a trip to the Turkish baths to relieve themselves from the hot, dusty streets outside. Nowadays, its main purpose is to relax, refresh and rejuvenate, as well as promote good health via massage and heat therapy. Hammams are designed to bring physical and mental well being. In pure Arabian tradition, you immerse yourself in a steam bath of 50°C at 100% humidity. The benefits: The steam relaxes your muscles and cleanses the skin. The humidity also helps eliminate toxins.
