A hammam is a Turkish bath, similar to a sauna. In Western Europe, this cleansing and relaxation technique became popular in the Victorian Era. The process involves heated marble, ambient steam and a series of full body treatments.

HAMMAM • $158 • 60 MINUTES The perfect introduction to the hammam. The cleansing ritual begins as you choose your therapeutic oil: rosemary mint, citrus or lavender. The traditional “kese” exfoliation is self administered on a heated stone table with a sea salt scrub. After an invigorating rinse, a massage targeted on the back and shoulders is performed on the heated stone. The Hammam Treatment accelerates blood circulation and leaves skin and body feeling renewed and refreshed.
