Our Inspector's Highlights

The use of light makes a difference throughout the Istanbul spa. Most of the areas let in natural light that gives the facility a garden-like airy feeling, while the private treatment rooms have a candle-lit coziness that radiate warmth and relaxation.
The daylight-flooded indoor pool is exceptionally Instagram-worthy thanks to the ornate glass hangings that resemble floating jellyfish. They twinkle at sunset, creating a spectacle of light reminiscent of the sea sparkles of the Bosphorus.
The Turkish hammam is a unique feature worth experiencing, and this luxury spa boasts three of them. There is nothing like laying on the heated marble platform and enjoying a foamy body scrub.
Unique Turkish towels are specially woven for Raffles at Denizli, an inland South Aegean town famous for the quality of its textiles.
A staff of highly experienced international therapists brings a wealth of wellness knowledge from its native countries (including Turkey, Indonesia and the Philippines) to enhance your treatments.
