Navitas Spa & Sports at Hilton
The one door you do not have to hurry through
Doors open and close thousands of times a day here. Everyone is catching something. We are the one door you do not have to rush through.
Navitas Spa & Sports is the spa of Hilton Istanbul Airport, the hotel a short walk from the terminal. Past the door, the pace changes: warm marble, soft light, therapists who take their time. We bring the authentic Turkish hammam and a contemporary spa menu together and shape them around flight times — short Focused Care rituals for passengers in transit, unhurried packages for hotel guests, memberships for crew, airport staff and the neighbourhood.
Luxury here is quiet: Hilton standards of hygiene and hospitality, three treatment rooms, a purpose-built marble hammam and a welcome that does not depend on how long you can stay. Navitas has operated hotel spas across Türkiye since 1999 — the name is Latin for energy.

Between flights
Twenty minutes is enough
Focused Care was designed for transit: a 25-minute foam massage or a 20-minute scrub and peel on the warm marble, then a shower and a change of clothes. Longer connection? Let the planner do the maths.

Questions
The things people ask first
Where exactly is the spa?
Inside Hilton Istanbul Airport, the hotel a short walk from the terminal of Istanbul Airport (IST) in Arnavutköy. Enter the hotel, and reception will point you to The Spa.
Can I visit during a layover?
Yes, if you can leave the airside area. The hotel is on the landside, so international transit passengers pass through passport control (and need a visa where applicable) to reach us. Domestic passengers and anyone arriving in Istanbul simply walk over.
How long does it take from the terminal?
A few minutes on foot from the arrivals level. Allow extra time for passport control if you are in international transit, and plan to be back at the terminal in line with your airline's check-in and security guidance.
What are the opening hours?
We are open every day from 07:00 to 22:00, and hotel guests can use the fitness centre around the clock with their room key. The last booking depends on the length of your treatment — it must finish before we close.
Do I need to book?
We strongly recommend it, especially around flight banks. Send your preferred time on WhatsApp or use the booking form; we confirm within minutes during opening hours.
What if my flight is delayed?
Message us as soon as you know. Changes are free up to 4 hours before your appointment, and with flights we are as flexible as the day allows.
