Top 4 VIP Experiences in Istanbul

1.Public, Private or VIP Hammam & Spa in Old City

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 387 reviews · 50 - 115 minutes · from $41Our pick

Step into Sultan Mehmed Hammam inside Ramada by Wyndham Sultanahmet for a 50 to 115 minute Turkish bath and spa session. Choose a mixed-gender public bath, private room, or VIP room with massage bed and sauna. Your female therapist handles the scrub, foam wash, and optional massage. Towels, slippers, tea, coffee, and water are provided.

“Such a great experience!! only thing I regret is not booking a longer massage session. Heads up for women that want to use the sauna and steam room without running into any men, book the earliest session on a weekday when they are not as busy. I wear a hijab and was able to do all the things without running into any men so I didn't have to skip any of the experiences or worry about covering up.”
