Turkish rituals
The hammam has been an integral part of local culture since the early days of the Ottoman Empire. Originally it was for ritualistic ablutions, but it soon became a favourite place for socialising and business transactions.
Raffles Spa offers three separate hammams – one for women, one for men and the special Katre Lounge for bridal parties, celebrations and other special occasions. The Turkish hammam confers holistic benefits, cleansing and purifying the whole body while restoring the mind's equilibrium. Our spa staff would be delighted to introduce you to this ancient ritual.
Celebrating commendations from some of the world's most respected aficionados, including our guests.
