What is Hot Stone Massage?

Hot stone massage uses volcanic basalt stones — prized for how well they hold heat — warmed to 50–55°C, placed on key points of the body and glided across the skin as part of the massage itself. The stones' deep, radiating warmth helps release muscle layers that hands alone struggle to reach.

At Relax Spa VIP the stones are prepared hygienically in a professional stone heater, and the temperature is adjusted to each guest's skin sensitivity. Your therapist both rests stones on still points — along the spine, in the palms — and uses oiled stones as massage tools.

This 70-minute session is a powerful option for anyone carrying heavy muscle tension, anyone who feels cold on the table, and guests who find classic massage "not quite enough". It is no coincidence that it is our İskenderun guests' first choice in the cooler months.

BENEFITS

Benefits of Hot Stone Massage

Regular sessions can have many positive effects on your body and mind.

Deep Muscle Release

The stones' heat works deep into muscle tissue, helping stubborn tension soften.

Wakes Up Circulation

Warmth supports the widening of blood vessels; local blood flow rises and the body warms through.

Eases Stiffness

Heat and pressure together help morning-style stiffness feel noticeably lighter.

Calms the Mind

The spreading warmth settles the nervous system — many guests drift off mid-session.

Heat, Personalised

Stone temperature is tuned to your skin's sensitivity; your comfort limit is never crossed.

Deep Rest

Guests describe a "melting" relaxation that carries into a better night's sleep.

TECHNIQUES

Techniques We Use

01

Stone Placement

Warmed basalt stones are rested along the spine, in the palms and on the soles of the feet.

02

Gliding Stone Massage

The therapist glides stones over oiled skin, working large muscle groups like a warm massage tool.

03

Deep-Tissue Passes by Hand

With muscles warmed, deep-tissue handwork reaches further with less pressure.

04

Targeted Heat Therapy

Smaller stones focus on tight trigger points; heat speeds up the local release.
