On holiday, a spa visit is often planned at the last minute, out of the question “what shall we do today?” Yet placed on the right day and at the right hour, it becomes a break that shapes the rest of the trip.
Which day?
Two choices are most common. The first is the day after you arrive: the body is tired after a long journey and the hammam eases that tiredness noticeably. The second is the day before you leave: a recovery pause after a busy holiday.
A small reminder for guests who want a scrub right after a day at the sea or pool: if you have sunburn, the scrub should be postponed.
What time of day?
Mornings are the quietest slot — fewer guests and easier use of the spa areas. Evenings suit those who want to unwind after the day, but they are also the busiest hours, so a quick call in advance is recommended.
We suggest avoiding the early afternoon, particularly in summer when outside temperatures are at their highest.
How much time to allow?
Count the total visit, not just the treatment. A 60-minute massage, together with the spa areas and rest, usually means a 2 to 2.5 hour programme.
What to avoid the same day
Long sun exposure, heavy exercise or launching into an intense sightseeing schedule all shorten the effect. If you can, plan a lighter evening afterwards.
Hotel transfer
If you are staying at a nearby hotel, using the transfer service saves both time and effort. Simply give your hotel name and room number when you call.
As a family or as a couple?
Families with children usually enjoy the family package, while couples tend to prefer the dedicated couples’ programme. In both, the area is reserved for you alone, which makes the visit far more relaxed.
