A cold winter's day, a tough workout or simply a long week… If you're looking for a sauna and steam room in Bakırköy, Esle Spa in Sakızağacı is where warmth and quiet meet.
Saunas and steam rooms are traditional heat therapies used for centuries to cleanse the body and rest the mind. Heat widens the blood vessels, relaxes the muscles and helps cleanse the skin deeply through sweating.
Our facilities are cleaned after every use, and towels, robes and slippers are prepared just for you. After the heat, round off your day with a scrub & foam or an aromatherapy massage.

FAQ
Sauna and steam room questions
What is the difference between a sauna and a steam room?
A sauna uses dry heat (usually 70–90 °C) with low humidity, while a steam room is cooler (usually 40–50 °C) but close to 100% humidity. A sauna warms the muscles deeply; a steam room soothes the airways and skin.
How long should I stay in the sauna or steam room?
10–15 minutes at a time is enough. Take a lukewarm shower and rest for a few minutes between rounds, and drink plenty of water. Step out as soon as you feel unwell.
Should I use the sauna before or after a massage?
We recommend using it before. Warm muscles respond much better to massage, and open pores get more out of the scrub, foam and oil massage.
How much do the sauna and steam room cost?
Prices vary for single use or as part of a massage and Turkish bath package. For current information call +90 544 371 18 88 or message us on WhatsApp.
What should I bring?
Towels, bathrobes, slippers and disposable items are provided. You are welcome to bring your own care products.
Who should not use the sauna or steam room?
Pregnant women, people with heart or blood pressure conditions and anyone who has recently had surgery should consult their doctor first. Avoid using them after drinking alcohol.
