Why a private room suits families

Public hammams tend to separate the sexes, which splits parents and children at the door. A private room keeps everyone in the same space, so nobody has to wait or worry.

How it works for a group

You book one room for your family. The sauna, the marble and the foam area are yours alone. Programs are priced per person, and the Family Suite for Two covers a pair at one package price.

Programs that suit families

  • Classic Hammam Ritual: about an hour, the easiest way in.
  • Hammam & Oil Massage: a longer visit with a massage for the adults.
  • Family Suite for Two: one suite for a parent and an older child, or for a couple.

Tell us about the children

When you book, write how many people are coming and how old the children are. We prepare the room and keep the heat gentle, and if anyone is pregnant or has a heart or blood-pressure condition, please add it to the notes.

Booking for a family

Choose a program, add your hotel for the free pick-up and send the form. We confirm the room on WhatsApp, and you pay at the hammam afterwards.
