Spas, hammams and massage in Izmir

The two spas listed in İzmir are both outside the city centre, in coastal holiday areas: Aria Claros Beach&Spa Resort in Menderes and Radisson Blu Resort & Spa, Çeşme in Çeşme. Both belong to the beach hotel spa category, combining a beach, pool and spa centre in the same resort. At both, the spa is designed to complement a seaside holiday.

Resort spas in Menderes and Çeşme

Aria Claros Beach&Spa Resort is on the shore of Klaros Bay in Menderes; a Turkish bath, sauna, indoor pool and wellness centre form the core of its spa, and the resort also has a fitness room. Radisson Blu Resort & Spa, Çeşme is on Altınyunus beach; alongside a private beach area and an outdoor pool, it has a fully equipped spa centre. The treatments on the Radisson Blu's spa menu are not listed individually in the records, and massage does not appear among Aria Claros's recorded services; ask about massage and treatment options when booking.

Which one for which holiday

The difference between İzmir's two resorts can be read from their recorded facilities. At Aria Claros, having a hammam, sauna and indoor pool together means the wet areas can also be used outside the beach season. Radisson Blu Resort & Spa, Çeşme, on the other hand, puts the seaside holiday first with its private beach and outdoor pool; its fully equipped spa centre is used as part of that holiday. Çeşme is a holiday district that gets busy in the summer months, so book spa appointments early during the season.

Booking and arrangements

Whether you can use the spas at İzmir's two resorts without staying varies by venue; at beach hotels the spa is usually organised around hotel guests, so ask in advance whether day use or entry combined with a massage is available for outside guests. The records state mixed use for Radisson Blu Resort & Spa, Çeşme; the arrangement for women and men at Aria Claros is not recorded. Whether a swimsuit, peshtemal or disposable underwear is required in the hammam and sauna also varies by facility; the guide explaining what to wear in the hammam and spa offers guidance on this.
