The Hammam is one of the oldest cleansing traditions in the world. This steam bath experience from the East purifies both body and soul. This ancient custom inspired us to create a modern Hammam collection for your home. WHAT IS A HAMMAM?
Hammam translates to Spa in English and is a full-body cleansing ritual. The Hammam is an ancient beauty ritual, born out of an authentic ancestral tradition of human caring, sharing, and generosity. Equally calming and meditative as indulgent and luxurious. The aim is that self-care and caring for others are inextricably connected. The Moroccan hammam is full of timeless secrets and embodies the essence of our Moroccan culture of care. Moroccan men and women regularly bathe in a Moroccan hammam from a daily to a weekly basis. They recognize the importance of taking time to care for each other and for ourselves, nurturing a bond between ourselves: Body, Mind, and Spirit.
The Hammam dates back to the 1400s and originates in Arabic cultures where the bathhouses which were originally used as places of prayer, grew in popularity as a peaceful and stress-free place.
