We went as a group of 5 and were able to book the Hammam for us (we were mixed group so as long as you know each other they will alow a mixed group)

I got this from royal mirage's website they call it Oriental Hammam.

Oriental Hammam

The traditional Oriental Hammam has long played a part in the cultural and social life of eastern cities. An ‘oasis of retreat’ from daily stresses, entering the Hammam is akin to a wonderful journey: winding corridors framed by dramatic arches lead to the heart of the Hammam … a haven of space, warmth and comfort, with heated massage tables, steam rooms, sauna, whirlpools and jet showers. The calming sound of running water echoes from ornately tiled walls, while a gentle and gracious attendant completes the sense of escape.

In respect of local traditions, the Oriental Hammam operates separate hours for ladies and gentlemen.

Resting, fully relaxed, on a heated marble slab, an expert masseur attends to every need of the body, rejuvenating the skin and invigorating tired muscles. Known locally as tellaks or tayebs, the masseurs are masters of their craft, hailing from Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey. Under their gentle guidance (the English word ‘massage’ is derived from the Arabic mass, or ‘gentle touch’), even the most hesitant guest cannot fail to entrust themselves to the care of the masseur.

The treatment begins with a vigorous exfoliation, starting with the back and moving on to the face, neck, shoulders, chest, stomach, hips, legs and feet – care is taken over every inch of the body, leaving the guest, in fact, with a new skin.

A friend has just started up a beauty salon in Garhood (with a Moroccan Bath - but might be ladies only). More information here...

So of course I'll recommend it :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Try natural elements spa at le meridien
Taj palaces spa is a nice option, here you will get to understand how ayurveda works on your body, also a food chart saying whats good for you and whats not along with antidotes specifically made for you after answering a few questions.
I tried the abhangya snan ( Therapeutic oil massage)They start with sauna to open ur pores, followed by a cold water shower, a wonderful foot massage, the actual body massage followed by a herbal scrub and a nice shower. They wind you down in the lounge with a hot sand bag on your neck and shoulders and lemon and ginger tea to realx in a soothing atmosphere.

overall a wonderful experience.

cheers,
