Your ritual begins with a short period of sweating beside the marble water basin (kurna), allowing your pores to open and your body to begin releasing tension. This is followed by a full-body exfoliation using a traditional kese mitt, then a soothing bubble massage on the heated marble platform (Göbektaşı). Warm water is rhythmically poured over your body, encouraging deep relaxation and renewal. The experience concludes with a quiet rest and herbal tea in the lounge.
To enhance the effectiveness of your treatment, we recommend avoiding lotions, oils, or heavy skincare products the day before and the day of your visit. These can create a barrier that reduces the benefits of exfoliation. Please also avoid sunbathing, especially before traditional scrubbing or massages, as it may cause skin sensitivity.
Our core ritual typically lasts 50 minutes, but we encourage guests to reserve at least 90 minutes to fully enjoy the atmosphere before and after the treatment. This includes time to relax, hydrate, and gently return to the rhythm of your day. More elaborate treatments or combinations with massage can extend your time with us to 100 or even 130 minutes.
Our team is happy to guide you on the best way to enjoy your hammam ritual fully.
Guests are expected to wear swimwear during their hammam treatment - bikinis for women and swim shorts for men. You are welcome to bring your own, but if you don’t have one with you, we will provide single-use options at reception.
