Hammam
Purification from Tradition
Rooted in the timeless elegance of Turkish bath culture, the Classic Hammam Ritual purifies the body from dead skin cells, refreshes the skin, and calms the mind.
The soothing warmth of marble, the deep cleansing of exfoliation, and the comforting touch of the foam wash come together to make you feel reborn.
What Is the Classic Hammam Ritual?
A heritage that dates back to the Ottoman era, the Classic Hammam Ritual offers the purest form of the Turkish bathing tradition.
Through gentle warmth that opens the pores, traditional exfoliation (kese) that removes dead cells, and a silky foam wash, the ritual promotes complete skin renewal.
In the private hammam rooms of De SPA Antalya, traditional techniques meet modern spa comfort.
The result: a cleansed, purified, refreshed, and re-energized body.
Average Duration: 45 minutes
