About the Treatment

What Is a Turkish Foam Massage?

The foam massage, known in Turkish as köpük masajı, is one of the most iconic moments of a traditional hammam. Your attendant fills a cotton cloth with soapy water and squeezes it gently, creating a thick, airy cloud of foam that covers your whole body.

Resting on the warm marble, you then enjoy a soft, soothing massage through the foam, followed by warm water rinses. It is often paired with a kese scrub, leaving your skin clean, smooth and wonderfully soft.

Foam Massage FAQ

What is the difference between kese and foam massage?

Kese is an exfoliating scrub with a textured mitt that removes dead skin. The foam massage is a soft, soothing wash and massage that usually follows it. Together they make the classic Turkish bath ritual.

Is it suitable for a first-time hammam visit?

Absolutely. The foam massage is gentle and relaxing, and our attendants guide you through every step so you feel comfortable from start to finish.

Can I add a full-body massage afterwards?

Yes. Many guests follow the hammam with a Swedish or aromatherapy massage. Let us know when you book and we will plan your visit.
