Description

The Turkish Bath, or hammam, rose to prominence in the Ottoman Empire, and it remains a popular tradition—considered a social event as much as it is a spa treatment—to this day. A typical hamam features separate areas for men and women, with a steam room, washroom with heated marble slabs, and plunge pool. The standard treatment is a scrub and soap massage to slough off dead skin, but many baths offer extras such as oil massages, facemasks, and hair treatments. Treat yourself to a full Turkish bath experience, including a sauna, foam bath, and body scrub, followed by a rejuvenating oil massage.
