For a Bath Ritual Worthy of Sultans: Hagia Sophia Hurrem Sultan Hammam

The bridal hammam has been an integral and one-of-a-kind ritual of Turkish culture since the early Ottoman period. If you wish to experience this historical ritual in a concept literally “worthy of sultans”, the centennial Hagia Sophia Hammam, built for Hurrem Sultan herself, can be a dreamy option. In the warm section of the hammam, while you embark on a holistic purification journey with the redbud body clay mask in the Sultan Iwan reserved specially for the bride-to-be, your loved ones can enjoy a traditional hammam care with their gift sets consisting of gold-plated hammam bowl, peshtamal, scrub, pure olive oil and redbud-essence care products. If you’d so like, you may also receive a massage therapy such as aromatherapy and anti-stress massage to emphasize your sense of refreshment. Later on, you can continue your hammam ritual in the cold section with an authentic henna organization that will delight not only your soul by kanun, lute and rhythm instruments, but also your stomach thanks to olive oil dishes from traditional Turkish cuisine, dessert and fruit presentations and Ottoman sherbet.

In this hammam, which is one of the largest double baths in Istanbul, you may indeed want to share some of the unforgettable moments, be it while dancing with your loved ones to the melodies of master musicians with darbukas and tambourines, or while purifying with a scrub care and unwinding with an aromatic massage under the calm, acoustic echoes of the running water.
