The Oetker Collection is to expand its portfolio of "masterpiece hotels" with the launch of the new Palais Namaskar Hotel and Spa in Marrakech, Morocco tomorrow (6 April).

Built to follow the principles of Feng Shui, the hotel is nestled amid 50,000sq m (538,196sq ft) of scented Balinese-inspired gardens that are complemented by waterfalls and lakes.

Facilities include the 650sq m (6,997sq ft) Le Spa Namaskar, which includes four individual treatment cabins with outdoor terraces and two double cabins with private hammams.

A hair salon and an area for manicures, pedicures and facials also form part of the spa, while treatments can also be administered throughout the hotel grounds or on an in-room basis.

Body treatments are directed by ILA and Guerlain. Other facilities include outdoor baths and whirlpools; tropical showers; and heated pools to "harness the restorative powers of water".

A spokesperson said: "Every aspect of Le Spa Namaskar revolves around the three fundamentals of purity, energy and balance.

"Directed by ILA and Guerlain, the spa treatments create a true sensory experience and a deep connection between the individual, the therapist and the elements."
