Stepping into a Turkish Bath is more than just a spa visit—it is a journey into history and culture. Guests typically begin by relaxing in a warm marble chamber, allowing the steam to open the pores and prepare the body for deep cleansing.
Next comes the traditional kese, an exfoliation ritual performed with a special glove to remove impurities and revitalize the skin. Afterward, a luxurious foam massage envelops the body in soft bubbles, bringing unmatched relaxation. The ritual concludes with a soothing rinse, leaving guests refreshed, renewed, and deeply relaxed.
