Best Spas in Istanbul

By Justin Mays:

Did you have a tiring week and need to relax? If the answer is yes, this article interests you. All of us who live in Istanbul know that the metropolis often has a difficult pace of life to bear. The distances tend to be long, some work days seem to last forever and, as if that were not enough, the noise of the traffic does not help to soften the hustle and bustle.

Luckily, in this city, it is always easy to find a bit of peace. Some take refuge in natural spaces and others decide to walk through quiet neighborhoods. Those who are luckier can choose to treat themselves to a spa session in one of the hundreds of wellness centers in the metropolis. The most popular are the hammams, also known as Turkish baths, but, if you prefer, you can also go to traditional spas.

Next, we show you some of the best spas you can find in Istanbul. We hope you enjoy them and, above all, that you relax!

Nuspa

The first spa that we present to you is NUSPA, a wellness center with three locations spread throughout Istanbul, among which its center in Sisli stands out, as the most popular. This place has been open since 2007, offering its clients a wide variety of treatments made with natural products, whose main objective is to relieve muscles and soothe physical discomfort caused by everyday stress. Some of its most popular services are hot stone therapy, Thai massage, and exfoliation rituals, among others.

Hotel Les Ottomans

Secondly, we introduce you to the spa at the Hotel Les Ottomans, a spectacular wellness center, decorated according to the principles of Feng Shui. Before continuing, it should be noted that the spa of this hotel was chosen in 2010 as the best wellness center in the world, for its excellent services and results. This spa consists of about 2,400 square meters, including a relaxation room with ceramic benches, a pool with seawater, a jacuzzi, showers, a Finnish sauna, an ice fountain, a pool with water from the Dead Sea... Amazing, isn't it? In fact, it is the first pool with water from the Dead Sea in the world. It is the perfect place to indulge yourself.

Spa Soul

The third place we want to talk about is the Spa Soul, located in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, in Sisli. This wellness center has an indoor pool, a sauna, a steam bath, and a jacuzzi, among others. In addition, it also has a modern gym, personal trainers, and a bar with light and healthy options. Among its treatments, a massage with lava shells from the South Pacific stands out, which helps to revitalize and rebalance the body and mind.

Sanitas Spa

Last but not least, we present Sanitas, the spa at Çırağan Palace Kempinski, located in the Besiktas district. This wellness center features a jacuzzi, a heated infinity pool, and another open-air pool. In addition, it also offers outdoor treatments, along with the floral aromas of the gardens of this Ottoman palace. A truly special and historical site, which leaves no one indifferent.
