Spirituality, Health, Well Being, and Beauty, that is what Moulay Yacoub is all about. Our day excursion to these thermal hot springs, which have served Moroccans and pilgrims from around the world since ancient times, can be enriching for culturally inclined, health-oriented, and holistic travellers and globe-trotters alike.
To Moroccans, this legendary place has always been a part of rituals and beliefs that dominated early societies, which believed in the power of nature and the healing power of natural remedies. These hot springs of Moulay Yacoub have always attracted, still today, people who suffer from Rheumatism, muscle aches, skin disorders, and arthrosis. A legendary storey was woven through the centuries of use that Moulay Yacoub, a Sufi Master, a king, and a commander of the Faithful, or as we call it in our colloquial Moroccan, a man of Baraka (Virtual blessing). A place we visit, a place we believe in its natural power of healing. The legend narration has woven different tales through the centuries about the purpose of these Sulphuric Natural Springs, adding a virtual blessing to make this place a healing pilgrimage or at least a relief recreational spot for visitors from all walks of society. Moulay Yacoub Baraka was passed on to his daughter Lalla Shafia, or simply “the Healer,” who took over the opposite hill to Moulay Yacoub and established a sanctuary there for those who could reach her tomb at the top of the steep hill to be healed from all diseases. Through the centuries, she earned more recognition than even her father, Moulay Yacoub, especially among women.
In this mountain village, we still find the traditional baths that have served pilgrims for centuries; records show their existence in competition with Roman Hot Baths since 300 BC. It is also a modern spa that has been established with Vichy Thermalia care treatments, E.N.T conditions, and articular pathology. Moulay Yacoub Spa facilities also feature sporting areas (cardio-training room, giant thermal pool, etc.) and equipment aimed at relaxation, like saunas and hammams.
The modern and refined architecture of this Spa facilities set the focus on providing a serene atmosphere. The building tones with the unspoiled landscapes of Moulay Yacoub, making the Spa (Moulay Yacoub, Morocco) a unique place for at least a day getaway from Fez and other Moroccan destinations.
