Hammam
The Gentle Touch of Bubbles
At De SPA Antalya, the Foam Wash Ritual awaits you — one of the most delightful and soothing stages of the traditional Turkish hammam experience.
In this special treatment, rich and silky bubbles envelop your body, offering not just cleansing but also purification, relaxation, and renewal.
With the comforting warmth of the marble, natural soap foam, and expert touch of the therapist, both your body and mind are purified.
All the fatigue, stress, and heaviness seem to melt away within the softness of the foam.
What is Foam Wash?
Foam wash is one of the essential stages of the traditional Turkish hammam ritual.
Dense and silky foam, created using a special soap pouch (kese torbası), is gently applied all over the body.
As the therapist moves the foam in circular motions, your muscles relax, your skin is deeply cleansed, and your mind reaches complete calm.
Combined with the warm steam and humid atmosphere, this ritual stimulates blood circulation, eliminates toxins, and restores the skin’s vitality.
How Is It Performed?
- Preparation – Relaxation with Warmth: The ritual begins by resting for a few minutes in the warm hammam environment. This step opens the pores and relaxes the muscles.
- Foam Application – The Most Peaceful State of Purification: The therapist creates a cloud of silky foam using a special soap pouch and gently applies it all over the body.
The soft touch of the foam embraces the skin, providing a unique relaxation combined with a light massage effect. - Gentle Cleansing – Farewell to Fatigue: The foam gently removes dirt, oil, and dead skin cells from the surface. At the end of this step, your skin feels fresh, clean, and rejuvenated.
- Rinsing – A Renewed Body: The foam is rinsed off with warm water, leaving your body feeling purified, smooth, and refreshed.
