The View Morocco unveils new Amaya Spa

The View Hotel in Agadir, Morocco has opened the 1,500sqm Amaya Spa – named after the word for beauty and serenity in Berber.

The hotel, which opened in March 2024, has revealed that its wellness offering includes five hammam treatment rooms, five single massage rooms and one double, all with Lemi treatment beds.

There are relaxation and wellness hubs with REM and Lemi spa furniture; steam rooms; and a large heated indoor swimming pool by Astral Pool. The spa’s centrepiece is its a hammam, crafted by local artisans.

Amaya Spa has calm and serene interiors inspired by traditional Moroccan design.

The ancient ritual of the Moroccan hammam

Treatments take a holistic approach, connecting nature with science. Exclusive spa rituals include the View Oriental Massage, using ancestral techniques and practices to restore and rebalance.

Adhering to traditional values, guests are encouraged to embrace the ancient ritual of the Moroccan hammam.

Traditional hammams were a sacred place that offered refuge, healing and purification. Amaya Spa emulates this experience using hot vapours, exfoliating kessa gloves, black soap and ghassoul (Moroccan clay).

Signature experiences include the Ceremonial Hamman, a traditional ritual that stimulates, cleanses and nourishes body, face and hair. The experience includes a hair bath and double-tonic wrap.

The spa also offers the signature Soffle de Fraicheur treatment, designed to leave guests feeling rejuvenated.

Moroccan Berber heritage

Natura Bissé products and professional techniques are used in facial and skin treatments. In addition, the Moroccan brands Nectarome and Hendiya, which adhere to Moroccan Berber heritage, are used and retailed in the spa. Towels and spa linens are by Resuisa.

The spa employs five spa therapists, two hamman therapists and a team of fitness coaches and dietitians. This team offers tailor-made programmes to either tone, promote weight management, boost energy or improve sleep quality.

Treatments on offer include a dietary consultation, hydrotherapy treatments, thalassotherapy sessions and quartz massages. The spa also offers hydrojet treatments and Iyashi Dome sessions.

Wellness retreats and workshops include yoga, painting, pottery, and tai chi. Personalised yoga sessions can be complemented by assisted stretching sessions.

Launched in 2017, The View Collection has hotels in Agadir, Rabat and Vichy Celestins Bouznika, near Casablanca.
