Sauna
The dry heat of the Finnish sauna tradition: in the calm of the wooden cabin, high temperature relaxes the muscles, stimulates circulation and helps you sweat out the fatigue stored in the body. In the first minutes the pulse rises gently, then the mind slows down; cooling off with a quick shower and returning amplifies the invigorating effect of the hot-cold cycle.
It suits guests seeking muscle relief after an intense day of sightseeing or a workout, and those who want to warm the body up before a hammam ritual. We recommend short rounds with rests in between and plenty of water; towels and slippers are provided. Guests who are pregnant or have heart or blood-pressure conditions should consult their doctor first.

What should I bring with me?
You don't need to bring anything: towels, a peştemal (traditional wrap) and slippers are provided. If you plan to use the pool, bring your swimsuit; a swim cap is required in the pool and is available at reception (€5 for tourist guests, ₺250 for local guests) — you're welcome to bring your own.
What payment options do you accept?
You can pay in cash (₺ and €) or with all major credit and debit cards. For online reservations, the deposit is taken through a secure payment page; you can also pay via the online payment link we send over WhatsApp.
