The Art of Slowing Down: A Perfect Day of Wellness at Dar Ambre

In our rush to explore a new city, we sometimes forget the most important part of a vacation: the chance to truly rest. We fill our days with sights and sounds, only to return home needing another holiday.

But what if a day of your journey was dedicated not to doing, but simply to being?

At Dar Ambre, we believe that true wellness isn’t just a treatment; it’s an atmosphere. It’s a day intentionally crafted to soothe the mind, restore the body, and reconnect with a slower, more peaceful rhythm of life. Here is a glimpse into a perfect day of wellness, curated within the sanctuary of our home.

Morning: A Gentle Awakening

The day begins not with an alarm, but with the soft, dappled light filtering into your serene suite. The only sound is the distant cooing of doves and the gentle murmur of the courtyard fountain below.

We suggest starting the day on our rooftop terrace with a private, gentle yoga and meditation session. As the sun rises and casts its first golden rays over the Medina, you can stretch your body and quiet your mind, setting a tone of peaceful intention for the day ahead. Afterwards, a light and healthy breakfast awaits you by the pool—think fresh seasonal fruits, local yogurt with honey and nuts, and freshly squeezed orange juice.
Midday: A Cool Respite

As the Moroccan sun climbs high, our courtyard becomes your cool, shaded oasis. This part of the day is about escaping the heat and embracing stillness. Find a comfortable lounger in a quiet corner, lose yourself in a good book, or take a refreshing dip in the cool, turquoise waters of the plunge pool. We can serve a light, delicious lunch poolside—perhaps a selection of vibrant Moroccan salads and grilled vegetables—so you never have to leave your state of bliss.


Afternoon: The Ritual of Renewal

In the late afternoon, as the day’s energy begins to soften, it is time for your journey to the heart of our sanctuary: the spa. The space will be prepared exclusively for you, lit by the soft glow of candles and scented with neroli and amber.

This is the time to surrender to the ancient wisdom of the Moroccan Hammam. Allow the warm steam to envelop you, followed by the deeply purifying ritual of a black soap cleanse and an invigorating gommage. Let our therapists melt away any remaining tension with a full-body massage using warm, nourishing Argan oil. After your treatments, linger in the relaxation lounge with a pot of restorative mint tea.

Evening: A Serene Conclusion

Emerge from the spa feeling renewed, peaceful, and weightless. Make your way to the rooftop to witness the day’s final, spectacular performance: the sunset. As the sky turns from gold to rose, you can reflect on a day dedicated entirely to your well-being.

Your evening concludes with a light yet flavourful dinner served in the romantic, candlelit atmosphere of the courtyard. You will find that after a day of such deep rest, your sleep is sounder, your mind is clearer, and your body is truly grateful.

This is more than a day of indulgence; it is a profound investment in yourself.
