İçerenköy is a residential district on the Asian side, inland from the Bağdat Caddesi shopping axis and between Ataşehir, Göztepe and Kadıköy. It has none of the Ottoman bathhouses of the old city, so a visit here is a different kind of spa day. The listings are modern: hotel spas such as Sense Spa & Wellness at A11 Hotel, Vois Hotel Bostancı & SPA and Ataşehir Atacity Hotel Zen Spa, plus a day spa in Bostancı and a fitness-club hamam at Palestra. There is also a home-visit massage service. If a historic domed hamam is what you came to Istanbul for, the Sultanahmet and Çemberlitaş side of the Historic Peninsula is the better choice. If you are staying on the Asian side and want a steam room, sauna or massage close to your hotel, İçerenköy and its neighbours Küçükbakkalköy and Altunizade are practical. Hours, prices and gender arrangements are on each venue's page, with the date they were checked.

For a first-time visitor based in Sultanahmet, this is not a hammam or a spa but a massage practice with an office in Kozyatağı, on the Asian side. The therapist, Zafer Aydın, trained in physical education at Marmara University and works mainly in sports and medical massage. Besides the office, he visits homes in Kadıköy, Kozyatağı and İçerenköy. The menu covers lymphatic drainage, Swedish, shiatsu, hot stone and sports massage, and Google shows 4.7 from 110 reviews. Appointments go through a form on the website, and your hotel's district is not among the listed home-visit areas.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet, this is a trip across to the Asian side rather than a stop on your sightseeing loop. Sense Spa & Wellness sits inside the A11 Hotel in Ataşehir (Küçükbakkalköy). It offers Ottoman-tradition hamam rituals, aromatherapy massage, a bridal hamam and a classic facial. Guests have given it 4.8 on Google across 216 reviews. The doors are open from 11:00 to 23:00 every day of the week, which suits an evening visit after a full day of museums. Prices, treatment lengths and booking rules are not published, so you would need to ask.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet, this is not a spa you can reach between two mosques. Asia Concept Spa Bostancı belongs to the Dedeman Bostancı Hotel in Ataşehir (İçerenköy), on the Asian side. The menu covers a Turkish hamam ritual, classic, mix and Swedish massage and skin care. The building also has a swimming pool and a fitness area. Appointments are required, and Google shows 4.8 from 494 reviews. Listed hours are 07:00–23:00 every day, though the venue's own website says 11:00 as the opening time.
If your days in the Old City are packed with museums and mosques, this hamam is not the one to slot in: Palestra Fitness Spa sits inside the Marriott Hotel Asia in İçerenköy, Ataşehir, on the Asian side. It belongs to a fitness and spa centre, and the hamam is listed as one section of that facility. Doors are open 07:00–23:00 on weekdays and 08:00–22:00 on Saturday and Sunday. Google rates it 4.1 across 292 reviews. We could not read the venue's services, prices or entry rules, so treat everything beyond the hours as something to confirm directly.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet, this is a trip out of your usual area: Atacity Hotel Zen Spa is in Küçükbakkalköy, in the Ataşehir district, across the street from the hotel it is named after. It takes day visitors and is open from 11:00 to 23:00 every day of the week. Google rates it 4.6 from 311 reviews. The listing gives no services, treatments, prices or section layout, and no website was available to check them. Treat it as a late-day option and confirm the details with the spa before you set out.
Vois Hotel Bostancı & SPA sits on the Asian side, in İçerenköy in the Ataşehir district, and the spa is part of the hotel building. It is a long way from the Sultanahmet museums and mosques, so it works as a separate outing rather than a stop between sights. Google lists it at 4 stars across 357 reviews. The hotel shows 24-hour opening on all seven days, but this probably refers to the hotel itself, not the spa. Treatments, facilities, prices, women's and men's sections and whether non-guests are admitted are not stated anywhere I could verify, so check with the hotel first.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet, this is the wrong side of the city for a hamam visit: The Hera Platinum Hotel is in Küçükbakkalköy, Ataşehir, on the Asian side, and its spa is part of the hotel. Because it is a hotel spa, it probably gives priority to hotel guests, and whether outside visitors are accepted is not stated. Which treatments, sections or facilities it offers, what they cost and when it opens are all unknown. The only figure we have is Google's 4.3 rating from 507 reviews. Ask the hotel directly before planning a trip here.
If your days are spent around Sultanahmet's museums and mosques, this one needs a separate plan: Vitalica Wellness is in Küçükbakkalköy, Ataşehir, on the Asian side of the city. It works under the Estethica health and aesthetics centre. Visitors rate it 4.9 on Google from 177 reviews. It is open Monday to Saturday from 09:00 to 19:00 and closed on Sunday. The information available to us does not say which treatments it offers, whether it has a sauna, pool or hamam, or what anything costs, so you would need to ask before committing a trip.
MOSS SPA is a hammam on Şerifali Street in Küçükbakkalköy, Ataşehir, on the Asian side of Istanbul and well away from the Sultanahmet streets where most first-time visitors stay. Its doors are open from 11:00 to 21:00 on every day of the week, and Google shows 4.2 from 109 reviews. The listing gives no details about treatments, sections, facilities or prices, and the website could not be read, so what you would actually book is unknown. Anyone considering it should phone or check the site first. For a short Old City stay it is a separate outing rather than a neighbourhood stop.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet, treat Sansai Spa as a separate outing rather than a stop on your sightseeing loop. It sits in Ataşehir, in the Küçükbakkalköy area, at an address inside the Andromeda Residance complex. The facilities listed are a hamam, sauna, jacuzzi and massage, and the doors are open daily from 10:00 to 22:00. Google shows 4.4 stars from 468 reviews. Prices, session lengths and whether men and women have separate sections are not stated, so ask before you go.
If you are staying in Sultanahmet, Talya Spa Ataşehir is a trip away from your usual routes: it is in Ataşehir, inside the Radisson Blu hotel, on level B-3. The listing calls it a day spa and gives hours of 10:00 to 21:00, seven days a week. Google shows a rating of 4 from 103 reviews. What it offers, what it costs and whether non-guests can book are all unconfirmed, because we could not read its website. Treat it as an option to call and ask about, not a confirmed plan.
Selectum City Ataşehir is a hotel spa inside the Ataşehir Brandium shopping and living complex, not in the Old City where most first-time visitors stay. Its facilities are steam rooms, a sauna, a traditional Turkish hamam and massage. The sauna and steam areas include women-only sections as well as mixed ones. Google shows 4.4 from 1,834 reviews. Opening hours, prices and session lengths are not published, so you would need to ask the hotel. For a Sultanahmet-based trip it works only as a deliberate detour.
Massage studios in Icerenkoy
5 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.
İçerenköy is on the Anatolian side, away from the Historic Peninsula. Our transport notes have no stop recorded for İçerenköy itself, so check your exact route in a map app. The reference points we can name are on Metro M4 (Kadıköy–Sabiha Gökçen), which runs through Ayrılık Çeşmesi, Göztepe and Bostancı. Marmaray also stops at Ayrılık Çeşmesi, Söğütlüçeşme and Üsküdar. From the peninsula, the simplest route is a ferry from Eminönü to Kadıköy or Üsküdar, or Marmaray from Sirkeci to Ayrılık Çeşmesi, and then a bus, taxi or the M4 for the rest. From Sabiha Gökçen Airport, the Havabüs goes to Kadıköy.
Frequently asked questions
Are there traditional Turkish baths in İçerenköy?
Our listings here are mostly hotel spas and a fitness-club hamam (Palestra), not historic bathhouses. For a historic hamam, look at the Sultanahmet and Çemberlitaş area on the peninsula.
How much does a spa visit in İçerenköy cost?
Prices vary by venue and package. Each venue page states its price with the date it was checked, so use that rather than a general figure.

Take the T1 tram to Sirkeci or Eminönü, then Marmaray from Sirkeci to Ayrılık Çeşmesi or a ferry from Eminönü to Kadıköy. Finish with a bus, taxi or Metro M4. No stop for İçerenköy itself is in our notes, so confirm the last leg in a map app.
