At a glance
The relaxation lounge at Navitas Spa, Hilton Istanbul Airport, has curtained daybed alcoves and a row of heated mosaic loungers warmed from within. Resting there for 10–20 minutes after a hammam or massage lets the heart rate settle, the heat leave the body and the treatment finish its work; on long layovers guests nap there and the team wakes them in time for their flight.
Why rest matters
Stand up straight from warm marble and the blood pressure drops; walk straight from a massage and the muscles tighten again. Ten quiet minutes on a warm lounger let the body keep what the treatment gave it. It is the least glamorous and most important part of the visit.
How to use the loungers
- Lie on the towel provided; the warmth comes from within the lounger
- Water or tea beside you
- Phone in the locker; voices low
- Tell the team if you would like to be woken at a certain time
On a long layover
Book a treatment, tell us your departure time, and rest afterwards for as long as opening hours allow. We keep the clock.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use the lounge without a treatment?
Hotel guests and members, yes; treatment guests before and after their ritual.
How warm are the loungers?
Pleasantly warm, like a hot-water bottle across the back.
