"Every detail is designed to enhance the well-being of body and mind," says the Austrian with roots in Kosovo.in Kosovo. 

"Like a fairy tale from the Arabian Nights", this gem hidden behind high mud walls in the heart of Marrakech appears. At 2500 square meters, you can completely indulge in relaxation and enjoy "unique treatments that take you on a divine sensory journey". The beauty expert's unconditional recommendation: "You have to experience the 'Royal Mansour Signature Hamam' treatment! It's an authentic experience of traditional Moroccan ritual combined with a modern approach that strives for perfection." To visit, allow a little extra time to stroll through the garden lined with olive and lemon trees. "A hidden gem," concludes Shahini. 

Another insider tip in Morocco: "When visiting Marrakech, a stop at the legendary 'La Mamounia' is a must! It's absolutely charming and the price-performance ratio is right."

For guests not staying directly at the hotel, it is advisable to book a day ticket. "For about US $150 per person, you get 12-hour access to the pools, gym, and other facilities. It also includes a treatment and a 3-course meal at one of the fine-dining restaurants," says Shahini. She further says, "The interior of the hotel and the spa area itself is stunning. The design and architecture alone are worth a visit!"

The individual relaxation treatment for the whole body was followed by a foot reflexology massage, an Indian head massage, and a 30-minute 'Express Guinot- facial'."
