This 30-minute restorative massage invites the body to slow down, the breath to deepen and the mind to settle. Using warm organic olive oil sourced from the groves of Ayvalık, your therapist applies fluid, sweeping strokes that ease physical tension and guide you into stillness. Every movement is intentional, softening tight muscles, improving circulation and soothing the nervous system with calm precision.
Designed for deep relaxation rather than deep pressure, this experience is ideal for those seeking a gentler, more meditative treatment. As the oil warms with your skin, it nourishes and hydrates, leaving a soft scent and silky finish. The sensory effect lingers long after the massage ends, promoting a sense of inward quiet and emotional ease.
While we recommend allowing the olive oil to remain on your skin to prolong its benefits, guests who prefer may enjoy a refreshing shower after the massage. A private shower area is available and can be used before proceeding to the Camekanlık lounge.
Following your massage, you are invited to the Camekanlık lounge for a final moment of pause. Here, herbal tea, dried fruits, detox water and cold towels are served to gently refresh and reawaken the senses. We encourage you to linger for at least 10 minutes or more, allowing your body to fully absorb the care it has received.
Your experience includes access to a private dressing room equipped with thoughtful amenities such as a hairdryer, cotton swabs, cleansing pads, wet wipes and a comb, ensuring a smooth and elegant transition back into your day.
Whether enjoyed as a standalone treatment or following a hammam ritual, the Relaxing Massage offers space to reconnect with your body’s natural rhythm. You leave feeling grounded, softened and subtly transformed.
At Çukurcuma Hamamı 1831 we believe that true renewal is found in the quiet moments where warmth, stillness and care meet.
