Hammam Rituals & Packages

What Is a Hammam?

Essentially, it is a hot Turkish steam bath followed by a beautiful and relaxing massage — working to strengthen the immune system and clear the airways.

It involves full-body 'kessa' exfoliation to remove dead skin, a soap massage to relieve tension in the muscles, and a full-body clay mask to draw out toxins. A massage oil is then applied to complete the journey — an experience our clients describe as an "out of body experience."

Inspired by Ancient Bathing Rituals and the Science of Integrated Wellness, our treatment menu offers something for every 'body.' Our therapists are trained by Dr Zara herself, ensuring every Amara journey is touched with warm hospitality and results you'll remember.

Health Benefits

The Hammam ritual is known to:

Relax the mind and release muscular tension
Detoxify the body and increase circulation
Stimulate the lymphatic system and increase metabolism
Cleanse and exfoliate skin, improving texture, tone and hydration
Relieve stress and promote mental clarity
Increase energy levels and general wellbeing

What to Expect

Upon arriving, you'll be escorted to the relaxation area for refreshments and a consultation. You'll then enter the change room and put on a pestemal (a silk/cotton Hammam wrap) before stepping into your private Hammam for a warm shower and 20–30 minutes relaxing in the steam.

Your Hammam therapist, the tellak, will then guide you through your chosen ritual — using the traditional Kessa glove for exfoliation, Savon Noir black soap for a silky massage, and mineral-rich Rhassoul Clay imported from the Moroccan mountains. All products are by Phyts, leaders in certified organic performance skincare.

Once complete, you're invited back to the relaxation space to enjoy a platter of wellness snacks and refreshments, with our compliments.

Note: If you've added a Facial, Massage, or Advanced Health & Beauty Therapy, you'll be escorted to a specialised room for that part of your ritual — enjoy your refreshments whenever suits you.
