Addresses by the kilometre
Along the road, addresses are often given by kilometre: a villa at kilometre 9, a guest house at kilometre 12, then a track on the right. Handy for a driver, less so for us. Share your location when booking, and mention the landmark for the track if the villa is set back from the road.
Our map shows the stretch of road we usually cover. If your address is further out, towards the valley, message us on WhatsApp with your location and we will quickly tell you if it is possible.
Back from the valley
Many travellers stay on the Ourika road to be halfway between the city and the mountains. After a day walking in the valley or up to the Setti Fatma waterfalls, the body needs to recover: the sports massage for legs that have climbed, or hot stones when the evening turns cool.
Allow for the drive back from the excursion before choosing the time. An 8pm slot usually leaves time to get back, shower and catch your breath.
Cooler evenings than in town
Outside the city, nights are cooler, even in the warm season, and properly cold in winter. A heated or sheltered room is better for an evening massage, and that is the ideal season for hot stones.
In the daytime, in spring and autumn, an outdoor session with a view of the Atlas is possible, in the shade and out of the wind.
