The Sultana is a luxurious ritual composed in refined stages, each one designed to restore calm, clarity and inner balance. Your journey begins with 10 minutes of gentle warming beside the marble water basin (kurna) in the softly lit halvet room. Here, the combination of heat, steam and flowing water invites your body to soften and your breath to slow. Pores begin to open, muscles relax and the mind begins to settle, preparing you for the deeper care that follows.

You are then guided through 35 minutes of traditional hammam care. A full-body exfoliation using a private kese glove is performed near the kurna, sweeping away dead skin and reactivating circulation. The ritual continues on the heated Göbektaşı stone, where a purifying hand and foot peeling targets areas that hold tension and fatigue. A rich aromatic foam massage follows, calming the nervous system and soothing the body in long, flowing strokes. The sensation of water cascading over warm stone is both grounding and expansive.

After the cleansing ritual, you are welcomed into your private Sultana lounge for a 15-minute rest. Here, herbal tea, dried fruits, detox water and cold towels are served. This pause allows your body to absorb the benefits of the hammam while inviting your senses into stillness.

Your experience continues with a 60-minute full-body and foot massage in a private treatment room. Using warm organic oils and intuitive, steady pressure, the therapist eases residual tightness and restores a sense of harmony throughout the body. If you wish, a shower is available after the massage to refresh before returning to the lounge or stepping back into your day.

At the end of your visit, your personal kese glove is gifted to you as a keepsake of tradition and care. It is a tactile reminder of your experience and a symbol of your return to balance.

At Çukurcuma Hamamı 1831, The Sultana is not just a ritual. It is a composed journey where each gesture is rooted in heritage and offered with grace. From steam to silence, from marble to touch, this experience invites you to renew in the most elegant way possible.
