Traditional Turkish bath ritual.
Sultan Hammam 40 Minutes: The Essence of the Ottoman Ritual
Turkish bath culture is a thousand-year-old tradition of purification, inherited from Roman baths and reaching its zenith in Ottoman palaces. The Sultan Hammam is the most refined version of this tradition: a body warmed on the central marble stone (göbek taşı), skin purified with a kese (exfoliating mitt), and a massage applied under silky foam. Royal Uzungöl SPA & Wellness's 40-minute Sultan Hammam session offers all the essential stages of this ancient ritual in a condensed format; it is designed for our guests who have limited time but wish to experience an authentic hammam.
Three-Stage Purification in 40 Minutes
The session begins with a body scrub applied with brown sugar, coffee, or honey crystals selected according to your skin type. This natural peeling gently removes the layer of dead skin and allows the skin to breathe. In the second stage, deep cleansing is completed with the traditional kese application. In the finale, under a silky cloud created with aromatic soap suds, a circular massage is applied to the head, hands, and feet using special oils. This massage both stimulates circulation and crowns the purifying effect of the hammam with deep relaxation.
Benefits of the Hammam for Skin and Circulation
The vessels that expand in the warm environment accelerate blood flow, pores open, and toxin excretion is supported through sweating. After peeling and the kese application, skin cell regeneration accelerates; it is known that those who have a regular hammam habit have smoother and more vibrant skin. The session is completed with our traditional refreshments.
