ESPA partners with Ritz-Carlton Rabat, Dar Es Salam

Marriott International’s Ritz-Carlton Rabat, Dar Es Salam in Morocco has announced a new exclusive partnership with ESPA.

Marking the British brand’s re-entry into the Moroccan market, the collaboration establishes the property as the only hotel spa in the country currently offering ESPA experiences.

Through this partnership, guests can experience a curated collection of personalised ESPA treatments designed to restore balance across mind, body and spirit, including the globally renowned Ritz-Carlton Spa signature treatments.

Developed by ESPA exclusively for Ritz-Carlton Spas, the collection forms the cornerstone of the brand’s wellness offering worldwide.

A distinctive sense of place

Signature facials combine botanicals with advanced skincare science, while massages and restorative body rituals draw on nature’s rhythms to deliver sensory recalibration.

Traditional hammam rituals have been reimagined by ESPA to blend ancestral Moroccan bathing culture with contemporary spa artistry.

Guests are guided through a wellness journey, from enveloping steam and thermal experiences to private treatment suites designed for complete immersion and escape.

Inspired by Moroccan traditions

Ritz-Carlton debuted in Morocco in 2024, with the 117-room hotel and spa. Inspired by Moroccan healing traditions, the Ritz Carlton Spa offers saunas and hammams, a plunge pool and ten treatment rooms.

There is also an indoor Roman bath-inspired pool, an outdoor pool with mosaic borders and a fitness centre, as well as separate men’s and women’s relaxation lounges.

The spa’s central indoor pool area features a soaring art deco-inspired glass atrium, intricate zellige tilework and fluted columns with golden accents.

Outside, there is a pool decorated with mosaic borders designed to reflect sunlight.

The launch represents a new chapter for wellness at the Ritz-Carlton Rabat, Dar Es Salam, bringing together the property’s distinctive sense of place, the Ritz-Carlton Spa philosophy and ESPA’s approach to holistic wellbeing.

Laurent Démoulin, GM at the Ritz-Carlton Rabat, Dar Es Salam, saidys: “We have always envisioned wellness as a deeply immersive journey, rooted in place, guided by ritual and elevated by craftsmanship. Our partnership with ESPA marks a natural and meaningful evolution of this vision.

“Together, we bring to life an invitation to slow down, reconnect and rediscover a sense of balance in a setting designed for serenity and refinement.”
