A complete hammam ritual of 100 minutes, moving through every layer of the body from skin to scalp. Steam, kese, aromatic foam massage and a traditional olive oil hair wash come together in a single, uninterrupted journey.
Your experience begins with 10 minutes of gentle warming beside the marble basin (kurna) in the softly lit halvet room. Here, the combination of steam and warmth gradually softens the skin, relaxes the body, and prepares the senses for the care that follows. This slow entry invites you to let go, settle into stillness and ease into the ritual ahead.
You are then guided through 40 minutes of traditional hammam care, beginning with a full-body exfoliation (kese) using a private, single-use mitt. This manual technique removes dead skin cells, enhances circulation and stimulates cellular renewal. A purifying hand and foot peeling follows, targeting commonly fatigued areas to relieve pressure and promote overall relaxation. On the heated Göbektaşı platform, a luxurious aromatic bubble massage soothes the nervous system through rhythmic foam application and warm hydrotherapy.
The ritual continues beside the kurna with a gentle hair and scalp wash, using cold-pressed olive oil soap handmade in Ayvalık. Pure and unrefined, this soap nourishes the scalp and hair while honoring the Turkish bathing tradition of head-to-toe care.
After the hammam, you are welcomed into your private Süreyya lounge for ten minutes of quiet retreat. Here, herbal tea, dried fruits, detox water, cold towels, and traditional Turkish delight are served to softly reawaken the senses and support a deeper state of rest.
A 40-minute full-body massage with warm organic oils then completes the ritual. Your therapist works with flowing strokes and focused pressure to release muscular tension and guide the body into a state of deep, settled calm.
Following your massage, guests may take a refreshing shower if desired. This optional step offers a clean and soothing transition, helping to reawaken the body while maintaining the nourishing effects of the Ayvalık-sourced olive oil used during the treatment.
Your personal kese mitt is gifted to you at the end of your visit as a keepsake of care and tradition.
This is not a treatment you simply receive. It is a ritual that works through you, layer by layer, until very little remains but stillness.

The heated marble platform, known as the Gobektasi, gently warms the body from below, helping to soften muscles, open pores, and slow the breath.
