Aromatherapy Massage
Essential oils you choose, restful strokes, mind and body together
At a glance
The Aromatherapy Massage at Navitas Spa, Hilton Istanbul Airport, is a restful full-body massage with essential-oil blends chosen at the start of your session — calming, reviving or clearing. The scent works on the mind while the strokes ease the muscles. It is available in 50 and 90 minutes — ask us on WhatsApp for the current price — and it is the massage at the heart of the Jet Lag Recovery package.
What it is
Aromatherapy massage pairs a gentle, flowing massage with essential oils diluted in a carrier oil. The strokes are slower and lighter than in a Swedish massage; the point is to let the oils, the warmth and the rhythm do the work together. You choose the blend at the start: lavender-based for calm, citrus and rosemary to revive, eucalyptus to clear the head.
It is the massage for a mind that will not switch off — the one to book before a night flight or on the evening you arrive after crossing time zones.
At the airport
Fifty minutes suits most visits. Ninety minutes is a long exhale. For arrival days we combine it with a scalp massage and an eye mask in the Jet Lag Recovery package.
