For more traditional rituals and to get in tune with your inner energy flow, Kinan Spa at Belmond Maroma Resort & Spa offers the Temazcal treatment. It incorporates an ancient ceremony performed at dusk that purifies the body. Enter the Temazcal for Mesoamerican chants and meditation. Herb-infused water and heated rocks create an aromatic steam. Aloe vera nourishes the skin. After the purging, ancient ritual, head into the ocean for the ultimate refreshing conclusion.

Royal Mansour, Marrakech

Visit Le Spa at Royal Mansour; the beautiful environment is enough to wow you, but the hammam treatment really impresses. The treatment specialists crank up the humidity while you lie on a slab of heated marble. Your body is doused with water and black soap, then scrubbed before a dip into the plunge pool.
