Steam Room in Ankara

How Does a Steam Room Session Unfold?

A steam room session consists of three main stages — preparation, the steam bath, and rest — and lasts a total of 15-20 minutes. It's a much shorter and gentler session than the sauna; thanks to the high humidity, the body reaches an intense sense of warmth much sooner.

1. Welcome and preparation — You're given your own towel and single-use supplies; you change in your private cabin and, if you like, take a warm shower before entering the steam room.
2. Steam bath (15-20 min) — In a steamy environment of near-100% humidity, your body warms up gradually. If you like, you can add aromatherapy support with eucalyptus or lavender essence to your session.
3. Cool-down — At the end of the session, a warm shower gradually returns your body to its normal temperature; a sudden switch to cold water is not recommended.
4. Rest — Sit for a few minutes in our rest area and let your pulse return to normal; this short break completes the experience.

For first-time steam room guests

The steam room offers a much gentler introduction than the sauna, which is why we often recommend it to guests trying heat therapy for the first time. If you feel uncomfortable at any point during the session, you're free to step out whenever you like. We recommend leaving glasses and jewelry in your cabin and drinking plenty of water before your session.

What Are the Benefits of the Steam Room?

The steam room's most noticeable effect is a gentle sense of warmth supported by high humidity. Our guests most often mention how hydrated their skin feels, how much easier their breathing feels, and how relaxed their muscles become.

• Easier breathing: The moist, warm air supports open airways in the nose and throat.
• Skin hydration: High humidity helps prevent the skin from drying out; pores are naturally cleansed.
• Muscle relaxation: The moist heat supports the softening of muscles that grow tense throughout the day.
• Circulation support: The steam helps boost blood circulation, leaving a feeling of lightness in the body.
• Preparation for massage: Because muscles relax after the steam room, the benefit of a massage session booked the same day is noticeably greater.

Important note: The steam room is not a medical treatment; for any health issue, follow your doctor's advice.

What Sets the Steam Room Apart From the Sauna?

The steam room and sauna are two different interpretations of heat therapy. The sauna offers dry heat between 80-90°C, while the steam room offers a milder 40-50°C environment with near-100% humidity. This difference makes the steam room a more suitable option, in particular, for guests with sensitive skin or those less suited to the dry heat of a sauna.

For a complete experience, we recommend starting your session with the sauna and finishing in the steam room, or trying it the other way around. Combining both heat experiences in a single visit lets you compare the effects of dry and moist heat.

Who should be cautious before using the steam room?

A hot, moist environment may not suit everyone. If you are pregnant, or have a cardiovascular condition, blood pressure issue, an acute respiratory infection, or a recent surgery, be sure to consult your doctor before using the steam room. If you feel weak during the session, let our staff know immediately.
