Rhassoulbath spa therapy
Rhassoulbath therapy is a traditional Arabian body treatment which involves steam and mud rich in minerals. Rhassoul is basically a mineral clay that has been used as a soap for many years, thanks to its healing properties.
Rhassoulbath therapy takes place in a special room, which is equipped with a private heated bed. On this bed, you can try wellness therapies, such as peeling and mud therapies with thermal or sea clay. Peeling exfoliates the skin, removes dead shells, and drastically improves blood circulation. At the same time, the mud accelerates cells’ renewal and slows aging.
The result?
Smooth skin, less cellulite, detoxed body, and young-looking figure!
Footbath spa therapy
To quote Leοnardo Da Vinci, “The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art!”.
If you think about it, our feet walk us everywhere and hold our body weight, so they deserve our love and attention!
The foot spa bath therapy releases tension from the feet and relaxes the whole body! Some of the benefits of the footbath, one of the most popular spa therapies, are that it relaxes the muscles, alleviates pain, enhances blood circulation, relieves stress, treats insomnia, and reduces headaches.

The warm stone massage is a popular type of massage therapy.
