SULTANA Moroccan Hammam & Beauty Salon

Sultana is a Moroccan-style hammam and beauty salon on Mauritius' Coastal Road in Grand Baie, built around the traditional steam, black soap and kessa-glove ritual rather than a generic spa menu. The facility includes a steam room, sauna and hot tub, and the treatment list runs to 93 options, from body scrubs to a full beauty circuit.

Three signature rituals anchor the offering: Marrakech (hammam, scrub and blow-dry, 1h45), Casablanca (hammam, scrub and a tailor-made 1-hour massage, 1h45), and Royal (hammam, scrub, blow-dry and semi-permanent manicure, 2h45). There's also a higher-end signature treatment, Qiqi Pro Control, priced at roughly $400. Note that the kessa glove used in hammam rituals isn't included in the price — bring your own or buy one on site, which you then keep.

This isn't a walk-in or day-pass spot: everything runs on reservation, and there's no couples-treatment option listed. Staff work in French and English, and the salon operates gender-specific hours. It's open daily except Sunday, with slightly later Saturday hours. Parking is free, and for visitors staying nearby there's a private round-trip transfer option from a number of hotels in Mont Choisy, Trou aux Biches and Pointe aux Canonniers.

Pricing sits in the upscale bracket for the area, with signature rituals ranging from about 2,600 to 3,500 MUR depending on length and inclusions. This makes it a reasonable fit for anyone wanting an authentic hammam experience with proper steam and scrub technique rather than a quick spa add-on.
