Step into a centuries-old ritual of purification, wellness, and relaxation with the Turkish Hammam experience at Art of Sauna. Rooted in ancient traditions, the Hammam — also known as the Turkish Bath — is a timeless sanctuary where heat, steam, water, and massage come together to rejuvenate the body and calm the mind.
The Turkish Hammam Sauna Room
Our beautifully designed Hammam room is one of the highlights of the sauna circuit at Art of Sauna. At the heart of the room lies a central marble slab, large enough to comfortably accommodate up to five people. Surrounding the stone are marble benches with additional seating for eight, along with four bowls of fresh water used to cool the body throughout your session. The space is completed by a dome-shaped ceiling, ensuring that condensation gently flows down the walls, never dripping directly over bathers — a thoughtful design rooted in traditional architecture.
What sets the Turkish Hammam apart from other heat experiences is its unique combination of dry and humid heat. The warmth radiating from the heated marble slab, benches, and floor (around 40–50°C) is paired with steam and water vapor that reaches 80–90% humidity. As your body gradually warms up, you begin to feel the therapeutic effects — muscles relax, pores open, and circulation improves. The warm, moist air is also beneficial for the respiratory system, offering gentle relief for bronchial tubes and lungs.
For optimal wellness benefits, it’s recommended to spend around 30 minutes per session, splashing your body with cool water from the bowls to help regulate your body temperature. In between sessions, herbal or fruit teas are ideal to rehydrate and continue the detoxification process.
The Hammam Retreat Treatment
Take your experience one step further with our exclusive Hammam Retreat — a unique treatment only offered at Art of Sauna.
This 60-minute ritual ($205) begins with a full-body exfoliation using a traditional Kessa glove, designed to slough off dead skin cells and deeply cleanse the body. Then, a luxurious Olive Oil Soap Foam is applied with a specialized technique that envelopes your body in a cloud of rich, hydrating lather. The result? Skin that feels incredibly soft, smooth, and deeply moisturized.
For those seeking a more intense experience, we offer the Hammam Deep Scrub ($220) — an upgraded version of the treatment with a more vigorous exfoliation technique. Please note: this option is not recommended for first-time guests or those with sensitive skin, as it provides a stronger skin-peeling effect.
Whether you choose the classic Hammam Retreat or the Deep Scrub version, you’ll walk away with revitalized skin and a refreshed spirit.
