The long afternoon
Our longest ritual, built for birthdays, recoveries and anyone who needs a whole afternoon off. It begins with the hammam steam ritual, moves into a sixty minute warm oil massage and finishes with a shortened glow facial and a light lunch in the lounge.
Between each step there is time to rest, drink tea and sit in the courtyard. You never feel moved along; the next room is ready when you are.
Book it for yourself, or share it with a friend and move through the afternoon side by side. It is also our most requested gift card.
Why guests choose it
Every step happens in a different room, so the afternoon has a gentle rhythm of warmth, quiet and movement. You finish in the courtyard lounge with lunch and tea, and there is never a clock on the wall to remind you of the time.
The long afternoon grew out of requests from guests who kept booking three treatments back to back. We slowed the whole thing down, added rest and lunch between steps and turned it into a single ritual with room to breathe.
It works beautifully as a gift: a birthday, a new baby, a job finished or simply a hard season behind you. The person receiving it only has to show up; everything else is ready for them.
Before you arrive
Book two to three weeks ahead for weekends and mention any food preferences or allergies so the kitchen can prepare lunch for you. Arrive thirty minutes early to change, store your things and have a first cup of tea.
Leave your phone in the locker if you can. The afternoon is designed around having nowhere to be, and a buzzing pocket is the fastest way to break that spell.
If you are booking for someone else, we can add a handwritten card and a small bottle of our massage oil to the gift for them to take home.
Afterwards
Plan nothing for the evening. Guests often say the long afternoon feels like a short holiday, and the calm lasts longest when you go straight home and keep things gentle.
Keep drinking water, skip alcohol for the night and let your skin rest from active products for a couple of days after the steam, scrub and facial.
If you loved the afternoon, ask about the Signature membership. It includes one ninety minute ritual a month, which keeps a little of this feeling in your calendar all year.
An afternoon entirely yours
Three hours can feel like a long weekend. Phones stay in the locker, the lounge stays quiet and the team plans every step so you only have to arrive.
