Nobu Hotel Marrakech announced its debut partnership with the Spanish skin care brand Natura Bissé. The resulting menu was crafted specially for The Pearl Spa, inspired by Morocco’s rich traditions and natural resources, embodying both brands’ shared values: authenticity, precision and a respect for rituals. Each face and body treatment uses Natura Bissé and focuses on ingredients long revered in the Moroccan approach to wellness, like antioxidant-rich argan oil and detoxifying clay sourced from the Atlas Mountains. The treatments incorporate aromatic essential oils like orange blossom and eucalyptus to enhance the sensorial experience. A series of rituals, including hammam, clay body wraps and vitamin C facials, deliver impactful results while remaining rooted to the destination.

“We are thrilled to be Natura Bissé’s exclusive partner in Marrakech,” says Yousra El Moussaif, spa manager at Nobu Hotel Marrakech. “Our treatments were thoughtfully developed to reflect the spirit of this place, drawing on Moroccan healing customs, Japanese wellness philosophies and Natura Bissé’s unparalleled skin care technology. The result is a collection of experiences that are both grounding and transformative.”

Moroccan Wellness

Hammam is the cornerstone of Moroccan wellness, offering the benefits of a deep cleanse and exfoliation. The steam opens pores, allowing for a deeper clean while the scrubbing removes debris, leaving smoother, softer skin. Hammam is also known for improving circulation, easing muscle tension and promoting a deep sense of relaxation.

Natural products and ingredients are another important element of Moroccan wellness. Argan oil and Ghassoul clay (sourced from the Atlas Mountains) and the use of natural botanicals for aromatherapy, as mentioned above, are prized elements of the region’s wellness offerings as well.

The Pearl Spa is currently open for reservations, which can be made on the hotel’s website. You can also find more information on Natura Bissé there.
