We visited Zen Spa with a group of friends, and it was truly an amazing experience. From the moment you walk in, you immediately feel the relaxing spa atmosphere. The reception and guest relations team welcomed us warmly and guided us throughout our visit. After that, you simply leave yourself in the hands of skilled and professional therapists. They are especially excellent at therapeutic massage. We also enjoyed an authentic Turkish hammam experience, including a traditional scrub and foam massage. The Asian therapists have perfected their Turkish bath techniques and provided us with a genuine Turkish hammam experience. We spent two hours enjoying the wet facilities, including the sauna, steam room, and swimming pool. We were also treated to complimentary beverages and a facial mask. The overall value for money is outstanding. Thank you, Zen Spa, for such a wonderful experience!

A wonderful and relaxing experience! Everything was very clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the traditional hammam so much that we decided to add an extra hour of massage afterwards. It was the perfect way to relax and recharge. Highly recommended if you want to unwind and treat yourself!

The treatment itself was amazing—so soothing and done with real care and attention to detail. I left feeling refreshed, stress-free, and honestly like a new person. Everything was very professional, from the hygiene to the service, and you can tell they really care about their clients. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to unwind and treat themselves.

We had an excellent experience at Zen SPA. Staff is extremely friendly, kind and helpful. We took the classic hammam experience and enjoyed it for 150%. Quality and price are absolutely reasonable and I would kindly recommend. They offer additional services at very reasonable prices as well.
