At a glance
Hammam rituals at Navitas Spa, Hilton Istanbul Airport, are by appointment with your own attendant rather than in a public bath; you wear a peştemal throughout, with swimwear beneath if you prefer; you may request a male or female attendant when booking; and towels cover you on the treatment bed, with only the area being worked on uncovered.
In the hammam
- Rituals are by appointment; you are with your attendant, not among strangers
- A peştemal is worn at all times; swimwear beneath is common
- Ask for a male or female attendant when booking; we arrange it according to the day's team
- Say if you would prefer to wash your own intimate areas — that is normal
In the treatment room
- Undress to your comfort level — many guests keep underwear on
- You are covered with towels; only the area being worked on is uncovered
- The therapist leaves the room while you undress and dress
If you prefer more coverage
Tell us when you book. Swimwear under the peştemal, a longer wrap, a female attendant for female guests: none of it needs explaining, all of it is arranged.
Frequently asked questions
Is the hammam mixed?
Rituals are private appointments, so the question does not arise; you are with your attendant.
Can my partner be in the room?
For couples, yes — book the rituals together.
