Istanbul: Private Turkish Bath, Spa, and Massage Experience in Şişli

Enjoy a complete Turkish hammam ritual in Şişli featuring a traditional kese scrub, foam massage, private aromatherapy treatment, and authentic Turkish refreshments.

Getting started

Your experience begins at Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Istanbul City Center in the lively district of Şişli. After entering through the main hotel entrance, head to the spa reception to present your ID or passport and confirm your booking. The staff will welcome you and guide you to the hammam area, where you’ll receive slippers, towels, and basic spa amenities before changing and preparing for the ritual.

Relax in the hot room

The experience starts in the traditional heated marble hammam room, where you spend a few moments relaxing on the warm stone platform. The gentle heat helps open your pores and prepares your body for the cleansing ritual that follows.

Traditional kese scrub & foam massage

Next, a professional attendant performs the kese body scrub, a classic Turkish exfoliation technique that removes dead skin and stimulates circulation. This is followed by a luxurious foam massage, where clouds of soft soap bubbles are used to cleanse and relax the body in true hammam style.

Aromatherapy massage in a private room

After the hammam ritual, you’ll move to a private spa room for a soothing full-body aromatherapy massage. Warm oils and calming techniques help release tension, while a gentle head massage enhances the sense of relaxation.

Refresh & unwind

Your experience concludes with a quiet moment to relax and refresh. Enjoy traditional Turkish tea, homemade sherbet, and Turkish delight, allowing your body to cool down while you savor the final touches of this classic Turkish wellness ritual.
