So Morocco: A Hidden Gem Spa Experience in the Glebe

Tucked away on Pretoria Avenue in the heart of the Glebe, So Morocco is more than just a spa—it’s a one-of-a-kind wellness destination. As Ottawa’s first Hammam, it brings an authentic and immersive experience rooted in traditional Moroccan rituals, right to our backyard.

 
What is a Hammam?

A Hammam is a wellness experience designed to deeply cleanse, relax, and rejuvenate the body. The journey begins with a calming steam sauna that melts away tension. Then comes a full-body exfoliation using an eco-friendly scrubbing cloth to slough off dead skin and leave you feeling completely refreshed. You can also choose to indulge in a fix Massage, featuring So Morocco’s signature shower gel, for that extra layer of bliss.

To top it all off, guests are invited to unwind with Moroccan tea and treats—the perfect way to ease back into reality after a truly transformative experience.

 
More Than Just a Hammam

While the Hammam is the star of the show, So Morocco offers a wide array of spa services, including:

  • Nordic Spa sessions

  • Head Spa treatments

  • A variety of body treatments and massages

Their menu of services is thoughtfully curated to meet different needs, whether you’re looking to detox, de-stress, or simply take a little time for yourself.

 
Bring the Spa Home With You

So Morocco also carries their own skincare, body care, hair care, and home scent lines. These products allow you to bring a piece of the spa home with you—perfect for maintaining that post-treatment glow or adding a little calm to your everyday routine.

 
Membership Packages for Ongoing Self-Care

If you’re someone who wants to make wellness a regular part of your lifestyle, So Morocco offers membership packages. These are designed to help you prioritize your well-being with consistent, affordable access to the spa’s services. You can explore and compare package options on their website to find the one that best fits your needs.

 
Designed by Women, For Women

One of the most unique aspects of So Morocco is that it’s exclusively for women aged 16 and older. Whether you’re visiting solo or bringing a friend, the space is carefully curated to ensure privacy, comfort, and a deeply relaxing experience. The spa itself is divided into quiet and silent zones, giving you the chance to fully disconnect and recharge.

All of their products are safe for sensitive skin, so you can feel confident in every treatment you receive.

 
Perfect for Groups and Events

So Morocco isn’t just great for solo escapes—it’s also a beautiful setting for private events. Their women-exclusive private Hammam suite is perfect for bonding time with your mom, best friend, or favorite companion.

Planning something bigger? They offer private rentals for small groups, ideal for bridal prep, henna parties, birthdays, or just a pampering day out with your crew. Event and group packages are available, and the team is happy to help customize your experience.

 
Plan Your Visit

Ready to dive into deep relaxation? You’ll find everything you need to know—including what to bring, how to prepare, how to book, and even an online shop—on their website. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned spa-goer, So Morocco is the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and savor every moment.
