TURKISH BATH
The Turkish Bath, known as Hammam, is more than just a bathing experience — it is a centuries-old ritual that symbolizes purification, renewal, and relaxation.
At Maximus Spa in Taksim, we bring this historic tradition into the modern world, blending the charm of Ottoman culture with contemporary luxury.
Step into our beautifully designed hammam and leave the stress of Istanbul’s bustling streets behind. Here, every breath of steam, every drop of water, and every gentle scrub reconnects you with your body and soul.
The History of the Turkish Bath
Originating from ancient Roman bath culture and perfected by the Ottoman Empire, the Turkish Bath has always been an essential part of Turkish social and cultural life. It was a place not only for cleansing but also for relaxation, beauty rituals, and social connection.
Today, this ritual continues to thrive as one of Istanbul’s most sought-after spa experiences. The warmth, humidity, and rhythmic flow of water create a deeply therapeutic effect — cleansing both the body and the spirit.

The Maximus Spa Hammam Experience
At Maximus Spa, our Turkish Bath in Istanbul is designed to deliver an authentic yet luxurious experience. Every detail — from the marble interiors to the gentle lighting and warm atmosphere — reflects the essence of true Ottoman hospitality.
When you enter the hammam, your body is first allowed to adapt to the warmth of the marble platform (known as the göbek taşı). The heat helps open pores and relax muscles.
Once your body is prepared, our professional attendants begin the traditional kese (exfoliation) ritual — a deep cleansing process that removes dead skin cells and stimulates blood circulation.
After exfoliation, a rich foam massage follows, covering your body with warm bubbles that cleanse and refresh your skin. The session concludes with a gentle rinse, leaving your skin soft, smooth, and glowing.
Benefits of a Turkish Bath
Regular hammam sessions offer numerous physical and mental benefits. At Maximus Spa Taksim, our guests often describe it as “a full-body reset.”
Here are some of its key benefits:
-
Deep Cleansing: Removes impurities, toxins, and dead skin cells for visibly radiant skin.
-
Improved Circulation: Heat and massage stimulate blood flow and promote cellular regeneration.
-
Muscle Relaxation: Ideal for relieving stress, stiffness, and fatigue.
-
Detoxification: Steam opens pores, allowing toxins to leave the body naturally.
-
Mental Clarity: The quiet, warm atmosphere calms the mind and improves focus.
-
Stronger Immune System: Regular exposure to heat boosts your body’s natural defenses.
After your Turkish Bath in Istanbul, you’ll feel lighter, cleaner, and completely renewed — both physically and spiritually.
