Bagdat Avenue Spa, Hamam and Massage Guide

On this page 4 Day Spa3 Massage Studio2 Wellness Center2 Hamam1 Hotel Spa

Bagdat Avenue (Bağdat Caddesi) is the long shopping and café street running through the residential Anatolian side of Istanbul, in the Kadıköy district. It has no Ottoman bathhouse tradition of the kind found on the historic peninsula, so it suits a different kind of visit. Here you find modern day spas, massage studios and wellness venues, which locals use as part of a regular routine. This guide lists four places on and around the avenue: Space Day Spa, Este Spa, Suhan Spa & Masaj Salonu and PT ACADEMY. If a traditional hamam with a marble hot stone is your priority, the Sultanahmet side is the better match. Many visitors combine both: a historic hamam on the European side, then a quieter spa day across the water. Prices change often, so check the date written on each venue's page.

12 spas and hamams in Bagdat Avenue that we reviewed and listed. 2 of them are traditional Turkish baths. Ranked by editor score; sponsored entries are clearly labelled and never affect the score. 8 of them sit just outside the area boundary and are shown with distance.

#1 Day Spa

Space Day Spa

★ 4.6(323reviews, Google) · 46/100 · Erenkoy, Bagdat Avenue

If your days in Sultanahmet are full of mosques and museums, this is a different kind of stop: a massage-focused day spa on the Asian side, in Kadıköy's Erenköy area. It is independent, not part of a hotel, and has private treatment rooms plus couples' rooms. The menu is mostly massage (Swedish, Thai, shiatsu, hot stone and others) with facial skin care as the one non-massage item. Google shows 4.6 from 323 reviews. It is closed on Tuesdays, and you must reserve before you go. Prices and treatment lengths are not published on its website.

#2 Wellness Center

PT ACADEMY

★ 4.8(170reviews, Google) · 36/100 · Goztepe, Bagdat Avenue

If you are staying in Sultanahmet and counting on a spa visit, note that PT Academy is not one: it is a sports physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinic on the Asian side, in Caddebostan, Kadıköy. Its work is injury analysis, manual therapy and medical exercise therapy for athletes and active people. It lists no hammam, massage or spa treatments. Hours are 09:00–20:00 on weekdays and 09:00–14:00 on Saturday, with Sunday closed. Google shows 4.8 from 170 reviews, but that rating reflects clinical care, not a spa experience.

#3 Day Spa

Este Spa

★ 4.4(59reviews, Google) · 19/100 · Suadiye, Bagdat Avenue

Este Spa is a day spa in Suadiye, on the Asian side of Istanbul, a short walk from the shopping street Bağdat Caddesi. If you are staying in Sultanahmet, treat it as a trip of its own: nothing in the Old City routes leads here directly. Doors are open Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 to 21:00 and on Sundays from 11:00 to 21:00; Mondays it is closed. Google shows 4.4 stars from 59 reviews. There is no website, so the treatments, prices and any women/men sections are not published anywhere we could check.

#4 Massage Studio

Suhan Spa & Masaj Salonu

★ 4.0(159reviews, Google) · 17/100 · Goztepe, Bagdat Avenue

Suhan Spa & Masaj Salonu sits on the Asian side, on Bağdat Caddesi at No. 223/A in Kadıköy, in the stretch between Göztepe and Caddebostan. Google shows a rating of 4 from 159 reviews, but the content of those reviews was not available to us. What the salon offers, how long sessions last and what they cost are not known, since its website could not be reached. The doors are open daily from 10:00 to 23:00, which makes late evenings possible. For anyone based in Sultanahmet, though, this is a cross-Bosphorus outing rather than a quick stop, so it suits travellers who want a massage away from the tourist core.

#5 Day Spa nearby · 1.8 km

Miramar Day Spa

★ 4.3(95reviews, Google) · 17/100 · Kadikoy

If you are staying around Sultanahmet, this is a trip across to the Asian side: Miramar Day Spa is an independent day spa at the entrance of a residential complex in Erenköy, Kadıköy. It does not appear to belong to a hotel, though that is inferred from the address and the spa has not confirmed it. Doors open at 10:00 from Tuesday to Saturday and at 11:00 on Sunday, and it closes at 19:00 every day it is open. Monday is closed. It has a Google rating of 4.3 from 95 reviews, but no website, so what it offers and what it charges is unknown until you ask.

#6 Wellness Center nearby · 2.1 km

Super Slow Zone

★ 4.7(53reviews, Google) · 32/100 · Goztepe, Kadikoy

If you are staying in Sultanahmet and looking for a hammam or spa, this is not it. Super Slow Zone is an exercise studio that uses a low-force, high-intensity muscle-strengthening method approved by IACET. It sits on Bağdat Avenue in Göztepe, on the Kadıköy side, a long way from the Old City sights. A session takes 20–25 minutes and is by appointment only, and the website offers a free trial appointment. Google shows 4.7 from 53 reviews. Prices are not published on the site.

#7 Day Spa nearby · 2.1 km

Nada Ayurveda

★ 4.5(152reviews, Google) · 24/100 · Bostanci

Nada Ayurveda is a day spa on Sucukçu Musa Sokak in Bostancı, on the Asian side of Istanbul in Kadıköy, so it is not a place you pass while sightseeing around Sultanahmet. The only feature on record is massage, and the name points to Ayurvedic treatments, though that is an inference rather than something the venue has confirmed. Hours are the same every day, 10:30 to 22:00, which leaves room for an evening visit after a full day of museums. Google shows 4.5 stars from 152 reviews. A service list, prices, and booking rules were not available, so ask the spa before you set out.

#8 Hamam nearby · 2.2 km

Bostancı Hamam

★ 4.5(407reviews, Google) · 32/100 · Bostanci

If you are staying in Sultanahmet, this is a hamam and massage place on the Asian side, at Bağdat Caddesi 524/B in Bostancı, Kadıköy. Google gives it 4.5 from 407 reviews. The doors are open from 09:00 to 23:00 on all seven days, so there is no closed day to plan around. The listing names two things, hamam and massage, and its website title reads 'Professional Massage & Turkish Hamam'. Treatment lists, prices and the layout of the bathing areas could not be read, so those need a message or call before you go.

#9 Hotel Spa nearby · 2.3 km

The Gate Kadıköy Downtown

★ 4.5(1495reviews, Google) · 30/100 · Kadikoy

If you are staying in Sultanahmet, this one needs a plan: it is a hotel spa in Göztepe, Kadıköy, on the Asian side, not a hamam in the Old City. Massage is the only service confirmed, offered under the name Pera Spa Center between 12:00 and 19:00. The hotel's website gives no treatment list or prices, and it does not say whether there is a steam room, sauna or pool. Google shows 4.5 from 1,495 reviews. Call +90 505 251 19 70 before you go, since opening hours are the only detail we have.

#10 Hamam nearby · 2.3 km

Pera Spa Center

★ 4.7(241reviews, Google) · 37/100 · Kadikoy

If your days are spent around Sultanahmet's museums and mosques, note that Pera Spa Center is not in that part of town. It is an independent bathhouse on Fahrettin Kerim Gökay Street in Göztepe, Kadıköy, and it is not part of a hotel. The menu covers the traditional Turkish bath with scrub and foam, plus massage in several styles, including Lomi Lomi Nui and medical massage. The place has two separate hammams, and Google lists 4.7 from 241 reviews. It is listed as open every day from 12:00 to 23:30, which suits an evening visit, though the website gives different hours.

#11 Massage Studio nearby · 2.4 km

Eylül Beauty & Wellness

★ 4.8(77reviews, Google) · 35/100 · Goztepe, Kadikoy

If your hotel is in Sultanahmet, this is a trip across the water rather than a stop on the way: Eylül Beauty & Wellness is in Fenerbahçe, Kadıköy, on the Asian side. It is a massage studio on the third floor of an apartment building on Bağdat Caddesi. Google shows 4.8 from 77 reviews, but the content of those reviews could not be read. Doors are open Monday to Saturday from 09:00 to 19:30 and shut on Sundays. The only online presence is an Instagram account, so the treatment menu, prices and booking rules are unknown.

#12 Massage Studio nearby · 2.7 km

Nau Masaj Terapi

★ 4.9(342reviews, Google) · 51/100 · Kadikoy

If your days are spent among mosques and museums, this is a place for a different kind of break: a massage and therapy studio on the fourth floor of an apartment building on Bağdat Caddesi, in Feneryolu on the Asian side. It is not a hamam, and no bath or sauna section is listed. The range is wide, covering classic, deep tissue, shiatsu, aromatherapy and hot stone massage, manual lymphatic drainage, reflexology, acupressure and cranio-sacral therapy, with skin care (peeling) alongside. Doors are open daily from 10:00 to 20:30. Google gives it 4.9 from 342 reviews, but the site lists no prices or session lengths.

Massage studios in Bagdat Avenue

8 venues on this list offer massage; some are massage-only, others combine it with a hamam. Durations and prices are listed with their date on each venue page.

Getting there

Bagdat Avenue is on the Anatolian side, so from the historic peninsula you cross the Bosphorus. The simplest route is the Marmaray: board at Sirkeci (a short walk or tram ride from Sultanahmet on the T1) and ride to Ayrılık Çeşmesi. Alternatively, take a ferry from the Eminönü pier to Kadıköy, then continue on the M4 metro toward Sabiha Gökçen, which stops at Ayrılık Çeşmesi, Göztepe and Bostancı. Göztepe and Bostancı are the listed stops closest to the avenue's districts; from there a short taxi or local bus ride gets you to the venue. Tell the driver the venue name and street, since the avenue is long and addresses vary. From Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW), the Havabüs runs to Kadıköy. Allow extra time during rush hour, when the avenue itself is congested.
