The 15 VIP Experiences in Turkey That Earn the Upgrade

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.”

13.Private VIP Motoryacht Charter in Bodrum For 6 Hours With Lunch

Spend six hours on a private motoryacht from Bodrum to Karaada, stopping at Aquarium, Rabbit, and Red Bay or Aquarius Bay. You get lunch, fruit, drinks, snorkeling gear, a paddle board, and a fishing rod. The captain chooses the final bay based on wind, while your group enjoys the boat privately.

“The captain did a great job taking us to unique islands and the food was excellent. The islands aren’t really remote as every tour group goes to the same location, we weren’t allowed to play our own music which prior commentators said they were. Regardless this would’ve been a 5 except there was a photographer who preferred to use her camera vs our phone. We later realized it was so she could sell us the photos. Cost we agreed to was $500, but she charged $620 and said the difference was her commission. This was a very disappointing way to end the day.”
