The Selman Marrakech: the best detox cure in Morocco


A haven of peace located a few kilometers from the famous Jemaa el-Fna square, the superb Selman is one of the most popular places in Marrakech. This palace is particularly renowned for its superb 80 meter long swimming pool and its stables which house some of the finest horses in the country. The 5-star hotel houses a Chenot Vitality Spa which promises a detox in a dream setting.

Within the Chenot method, diet plays an important role in order to restore the balance of the body and flush out toxins from the body. As for gastronomy, a “Biolight” menu is, as its name suggests, light and specially designed to accompany care. It is mainly composed of proteins, legumes and fresh fruits. The goal is to drive out the acidity and make the body alkaline. Sure, this is deliciousand you can enjoy your tailor-made biolight menu in two of the hotel’s restaurants: Le Selman and Le Pavillon.
