A traditional Turkish hammam experience includes: First, your body warms up and begins to sweat in the warm room (15-20 min). Then the traditional scrub is applied on the heated marble stone — this removes dead skin and impurities. A rich foam massage provides deep cleansing. Finally, rinsing with warm water and a rest period. The entire session takes approximately 30-50 minutes. Traditional peshtemal and slippers provided.

Avoid heavy meals at least 1-2 hours before your massage. Drink plenty of water — your body responds better. Limit alcohol and caffeine. Wear comfortable clothes. It is important to inform us of any health conditions, allergies, or pregnancy during booking. We recommend arriving 30 minutes early to enjoy the wet areas and mentally prepare.

The right massage depends on your needs: Classic or Aromatherapy for stress and general relaxation. Deep Tissue or Medical Massage for muscle pain and chronic tension. Sports Massage for athletes and post-training. Balinese Massage for a holistic approach. Reflexology for energy flow. The Qualia Signature package for a premium experience. If unsure, use our AI Guide or consult with our therapists.

For general wellness, 1-2 visits per month is ideal. For chronic muscle tension, stress management, or recovery, 1 session per week is recommended.
