TURKISH BATH (HAMMAM)
Turkish Bath Experience at Serenity: Traditional Cleansing with Healing Waters
A cleansing tradition that dates back to the depths of history, the Turkish bath remains one of the most effective ways to refresh both body and soul. Bringing together Bursa’s thousands of years of thermal heritage with modern comfort, Serenity Thermal, SPA & Wellness reinterprets this unique tradition with its own distinctive details.
One of the first things that comes to mind when thinking of a hammam is the göbek taşı (heated marble platform). Here, it is not just a warm marble surface, but rather the very heart where your body renews itself and your mind finds peace. As you lie on the heated marble, the effect of the thermal water relaxes your body, soothes your muscles, and releases the day’s stress without you even realizing it.
Healing Touches on the Göbek Taşı
Designed in harmony with traditional architecture, Serenity’s Turkish Bath features a spacious central göbek taşı surrounded by seven separate basins (kurna), inviting you into the tranquility of the past. Each basin offers both hot thermal water and cold drinking water. This balance stimulates circulation, supports the immune system, and visibly improves skin health. Separate facilities are available for women and men.
The natural minerals in the thermal water are especially effective for skin concerns, joint pain, and muscle fatigue. As this water opens your pores, your body is cleansed of toxins while also gaining a silky smoothness.
A Mental Detox with the Sound of the Basins
The Turkish bath opens the door to not only physical but also mental detox. Even the rhythmic sound of water flowing from the basins is a therapy in itself. Combined with traditional kese (exfoliation) and foam treatments, you will feel the weight lift from your body. And this ritual is not just a personal experience — it can also be shared with loved ones, turning into a spa ceremony crowned with special memories.

Bursa has been known for its healing waters for centuries. Serenity Thermal, SPA & Wellness not only preserves this ancient thermal heritage but also blends it with contemporary needs, offering guests a truly unique experience.
