Sultan Massage — Çankaya

Sultan Massage is Aren Spa's fullest, most layered session — aromatic oils, warmed basalt stones and the steady rhythm of classic massage move through one seamless ceremony. The name comes not from a historical legend but from the care shown to each guest; every detail, from the essential oil to how warm the stones run, is checked with you throughout and shaped to your comfort. From the essential oil you choose to how hot the stones run, every detail is checked with you throughout the session and shaped around your comfort. It's designed specifically for guests among our massage in Kızılay options who want a ritual this layered.

The ceremony opens with a short chat about your scent, heat and music preferences; your therapist then warms the body with long, sweeping strokes and places heated basalt stones at the dense points along the back and shoulders. This is followed by a layered section where classic kneading and stretching movements deepen alongside the stone's warmth, and your therapist keeps confirming the heat level and how firmly you'd like the pressure as the ceremony continues. In the closing stretch, the pace gradually slows toward deep stillness, and the full 60–90 minutes moves through every stage without rushing.

What sets Sultan Massage apart from our other sessions is that its three approaches aren't delivered one after another but woven together: stone heat is felt alongside classic kneading, and the aromatic scent stays with you continuously throughout. The warmth from the heated stones helps muscles soften from the surface down, while the flowing rhythm of classic technique spreads that heat evenly through the body; this combination creates a fullness no single technique could offer on its own.

Bringing three distinct techniques together skilfully in one session offers a depth no single-style massage can match. The session's length and ceremonial pace make it a natural fit for special occasions, the close of a demanding stretch, celebrations, or simply an ordinary day you want to dedicate to yourself — no special reason is required to book Sultan Massage.

The closing is as much a part of the experience as anything before it: once the stone and aromatherapy section ends, guests are given a long rest with a warm drink, never rushed. This unhurried close is part of why Sultan Massage is remembered less for its length and more for the stillness it leaves behind.

At Aren Ankara Massage Salon, the Sultan ritual unfolds in a private suite inside Grand Silay Hotel, in a block of time set aside entirely for you. Guests who'd like to open the ceremony with a short warm-up in the Steam Room are welcome to combine the two — warmed muscles tend to feel the stone massage's effect more clearly. Call 0534 978 79 51 to book, and visit us any day of the week between 10:30 and 03:00. Letting us know your stone-heat and oil preferences ahead of time helps the first few minutes of your session run even more smoothly.
