Hot Stone Massage

Hot stone massage is a specialised technique in which volcanic basalt stones — prized for how well they retain heat — are warmed to 50-55°C, placed at key points on the body and worked into the massage itself. The deep warmth they radiate helps relax muscle layers that hands alone often struggle to reach.

At Aren Ankara Masaj Salonu, the stones are prepared hygienically in a professional stone heater, and the temperature is adjusted to each guest's skin sensitivity. The therapist both positions the stones at fixed points — along the spine, in the palms — and glides them through oil as a massage tool in their own right.

This 70-minute session is a strong alternative for guests dealing with heavy muscle tension, those who tend to feel cold on the table, and anyone who finds a classic massage "not quite enough." It's no coincidence that this is our Ankara guests' first choice during the cold winter months.
