About Sauna in Istanbul
In Istanbul, saunas are mostly found not on their own but as part of a spa or wellness facility. The venues listed in this guide are spread across districts such as Fatih, Üsküdar, Bahçelievler, Bağcılar, Başakşehir, Şişli, Beyoğlu and Pendik.
Ask how it works: Whether sauna use is time-limited or included in use of the facilities, whether day entry is available and how the arrangement for women and men works are the three details that vary most from venue to venue.
Using it properly: A sauna is not about sitting in it for a long time in one go; it is used in cycles — 8-15 minutes in the sauna, then cooling down, then resting, repeated 2-3 times. Check whether the venue has a cold shower or a cold plunge pool.
Sauna or steam room: A sauna is dry heat (70-100 °C), while a steam room is at a lower temperature with high humidity. Most venues in Istanbul offer both; you can find out which you prefer by trying them.
Safety: Do not use the sauna after drinking alcohol. If you have cardiovascular disease or blood pressure problems, or are pregnant, consult your doctor. Details are on our sauna page.
