Chapter I · The art of touch
Massages
Nine ways to let a body arrive: from the long, quiet strokes of a Swedish massage to the firm work of deep tissue and the warm stones that undo a long-haul flight.
At a glance
Navitas Spa at Hilton Istanbul Airport offers nine massages in 50- and 90-minute versions: Swedish, candle, hot stone, antistress, aromatherapy, Sultan's and Balinese, plus sports and deep tissue in 50 minutes only. All are performed by trained therapists in one of three treatment rooms, including a couples room. Ask us on WhatsApp for the current price of any of them.
A massage reaches the mind before it reaches the muscles. The first moment warm oil meets the skin is the moment everything carried through the day begins to fall behind. At Navitas every session starts by listening to what your body needs today; the rhythm of the touch is written for you alone.
Choosing by how you feel
- Tight neck and shoulders from screens and seats: Antistress or Deep Tissue.
- Heavy legs and a stiff back after a long flight: Hot Stone or Balinese.
- You want to switch off and sleep afterwards: Swedish, Candle or Aromatherapy.
- You train hard or you have a race, a shift or a rotation ahead: Sports Massage.
- A special occasion or a treat for two: Sultan's Massage or a Balinese massage in the couples room.
Choosing by time
Fifty minutes is a full-body session with a little more attention where you ask for it. Ninety minutes lets the therapist work slowly through the whole body, return to the areas that need it and finish with a proper rest. If you are between flights, fifty minutes plus ten to change is the realistic minimum; use the layover planner to check.
Pressure, oil and your preferences
Tell your therapist how you like the pressure — light, medium or firm — and say so again during the massage if anything changes. Oils are unscented unless you choose aromatherapy; let us know about allergies, pregnancy, recent surgery or injuries before we begin.
Frequently asked questions
Which massage is best after a long flight?
Hot stone for stiffness and cold feet, Balinese for a stiff back and heavy legs, aromatherapy if you mainly need to sleep.
Can I have a massage in the couples room with a friend?
Yes. The couples room simply has two beds; who shares it is up to you.
Is 50 minutes enough?
For a full-body massage, yes. Choose 90 minutes if you want unhurried work on several problem areas.
