Turkish Hammam Experience in Side — Step by Step
Hotel Pickup & Arrival
Hotel pickup is included and arranged every hour. Guests are collected from the main entrance gate of the hotel (not the lobby or reception).
Upon arrival at the hammam, staff briefly explain the experience. Guests change clothes and receive a traditional pestemal, the cotton cloth used in Turkish baths.
Steam & Heat Session — Preparing the Body
The experience begins in a warm, steamy environment. Heat helps relax muscles, open pores, and soften the skin, preparing the body for cleansing and massage.
Guests may sit or lie down while adjusting comfortably to the warmth.
Traditional Kese Scrub & Foam Massage
A full-body exfoliation is performed using a traditional kese glove, removing dead skin cells and refreshing the skin.
This is followed by a soothing foam massage, where warm bubbles and gentle movements help release tension and promote deep relaxation.
Full-Body Oil Massage — Complete Relaxation
The final stage is a relaxing full-body oil massage, designed to ease remaining muscle tension and improve circulation.
After the massage, guests have time to rest and enjoy the calm atmosphere before the program ends.
