Side Turkish Bath and Massage Experience with Hotel Transfer

Side Turkish Bath: The Classic Hammam Program from Start to Finish

This Side Turkish bath visit follows the classic program of a local hammam and spa: gentle heat first, a deep scrub next, then a proper massage and quiet time by the pool. Getting there is easy because you are collected from your hotel or from a set meeting point nearby.

Letting the Heat Do the Groundwork

Everything begins in the sauna, where dry warmth loosens muscles that are stiff after flights and long beach days. A short spell in the steam room follows, and the moist air softens your skin so the next stage works even better.

Marble, Kese and a Cloud of Foam

Stretched out on the heated central stone of the hammam, you let an attendant work over your whole body with a traditional kese mitt. Dull surface skin comes away, and a thick blanket of soap foam is then spread across your back and shoulders in long, slow strokes. Many travellers book it early in their stay, because freshly scrubbed skin tends to tan more evenly.

Twenty Minutes on the Massage Table

In a private massage room, a therapist gives you a 20-minute classic body massage aimed at easing everyday tension rather than pressing hard. It is the calm finale of the treatment sequence before you head to the pool.

Poolside Calm Before the Ride Back

Before heading back, you have 20 minutes to relax at the pool and on the loungers. Drinks from the bar are not part of the program and are paid separately.

Fancy More? Upgrades Stay Optional

The price you book covers the classic program only. If you would like a longer massage, aromatherapy or one of the richer spa packages, simply ask the staff on arrival and pay the difference on site. Nothing extra is ever required.

Hotel Pickup, Meeting Point or Your Own Car

Guests are collected from their hotel or from a designated meeting point in the Side and Manavgat area. The listed time is when the activity starts, so pickup happens earlier and your exact pickup time is confirmed after your reservation. If you prefer to drive, you are welcome to come in your own car and head straight to the hammam for your session.

What to Pack and Who Should Sit This One Out

Bring a swimsuit and a change of clothes, as towels, slippers and lockers are provided. The treatments are not suitable for pregnant guests or anyone with heart or breathing conditions, and children under six cannot take part.
