The treatments
Which Hamam Massage Should You Choose?
Every basic booking already includes a massage. The question is whether you want a different kind, and if so, which. Here is what each style is, in plain words.
Updated
In short
The basic Alanya Turkish bath already includes a massage (aromatic oil, about 20 minutes), and four optional upgrades can be added: sports, Thai, aromatherapy and chocolate massage. Choose sports massage for firmer work on the muscles, Thai for stretching and rhythmic pressure, aromatherapy for a dedicated scented-oil treatment, and chocolate for the scent and the sense of a treat. Each upgrade has its own price and is never included unless you choose one.
Already included: the basic aromatic oil massage
After the kese and the foam, every basic booking continues with around 20 minutes of massage with aromatic oil. On a first visit, that may well be all the massage you want.
Sports massage
A firmer massage that concentrates on the muscles. It's the one people tend to choose after a few active days — long walks, swimming, sport. The exact technique depends on the therapist.
Thai massage
A style built on stretching and rhythmic pressure rather than long oiled strokes. If you like the idea of being moved and stretched more than being kneaded, this is the one. How it's done varies from one therapist to another.
Aromatherapy massage
A massage with blends of scented oils, as a treatment in its own right. It is not the same thing as the short aromatic oil massage already in the basic programme — it's a separate, optional upgrade.
Chocolate massage
A massage with a chocolate-scented cream or oil. People choose it mostly for the scent and the sense of a treat.

How to add an upgrade
When an upgrade is bookable online, you choose it in the booking form and its price appears as its own line before you confirm; until then, ask us about it on WhatsApp. How the upgrades work.
