At Hammam Retreat and Spa, the main difference between the Moroccan and Turkish baths is the product used during the treatment. The Moroccan Hammam features clay and is designed for deeper cleansing and exfoliation, helping to detoxify the skin and leave it feeling very smooth and refreshed. The Turkish Bath uses coffee and focuses more on relaxation with a gentler cleansing experience, making it ideal for those looking for a soothing and calming treatment.
Spa is located in the ‘Heritage Square Building’ on Macleod and 85th SE
We are located in the Heritage Square Building.
There is free 2-hour parking along side the main entrance or you can find our reserved spot on the North side of the building.
Our treatment rooms are designed to accommodate one client at a time as we strongly believe in the importance of destressing and relaxation without interruption.
If you both wish to book Hammam treatments, we kindly ask that whoever loves the heat has their Hammam second as they will be able to spend almost an hour reaping the benefits of our infrared sauna while the other is experiencing their treatment. Come early if you both want to enjoy lots of sauna time!
Prices vary greatly on the treatment you’re looking for. The best way to receive an accurate estimate is to call and speak directly with one of our specialists at 403-452-7757.
To maintain a peaceful environment for all guests, we kindly ask that cell phones and other electronic devices be silenced while in the spa, and that phone conversations be avoided inside. If you need to take a quick call, we do have a beautiful atrium within the building where you’re welcome to step out.
We suggest arriving a few minutes early for your Hammam appointment, as using the sauna beforehand is beneficial. It helps you relax and prepares your skin for exfoliation. If you’d like to come early, we recommend arriving 15-20 minutes before your appointment.
