Sultan Massage — İskenderun

What Is Sultan Massage?

Sultan massage brings three separate techniques into one appointment and is the longest session at our salon: first the scent of aromatherapy, then the heat of hot stones, then the flowing rhythm of classic massage, one following the other. The name comes not from a historical claim, but from the approach taken toward every guest — in this session, every detail is built around your comfort. Among İskenderun's massage experiences, this ritual stands apart for its length and layered structure, and guests who genuinely want to treat themselves tend to reach for it first. Because it isn't limited to a single technique, it's also a practical solution for guests wanting to meet several different needs in one session.

How Does the Ceremony Unfold?

The first step is choosing the aromatic oil that suits you; the body is then warmed with long strokes before hot stones are placed along the spine, shoulders and nape, wherever tension has gathered most. Stone temperature is tested beforehand in the therapist's hand and adjusted through the session to your preference. Classic kneading strokes deepen once the stone's heat has done its work; toward the close, the pace slows right down, aiming for a genuinely deep sense of calm. Because each stage builds on the one before it, the body eases into relaxation gradually toward the end of the session rather than experiencing an abrupt "start and stop".

• A personalised aromatic opening with your choice of essential oil blend
• Focused warm contact on tension points with heated basalt stones
• Layered, flowing bodywork using classic technique
• A slow, calm and unhurried close

60-90 Minutes, No Need to Rush

Sultan massage runs 60-90 minutes; this generous length allows enough time for each of the three techniques and turns the session from a "quick relaxation" into a genuine ritual. It suits a birthday or anniversary, the end of a stretch that wore you down, or honestly, any day you've simply decided belongs to you. Throughout the session, your therapist checks in on stone temperature and pressure from time to time, so the experience keeps shaping itself around your comfort from start to finish.

Who Is It Ideal For?

Sultan massage is the right choice for anyone leaving a demanding work period behind, celebrating a birthday or anniversary, or simply wanting heat, scent and classic touch in one session. Guests who would rather experience several techniques in one appointment than try them separately also tend to choose this ritual.

A Small Note Before Booking

If you have an essential oil preference — lavender, orange, rosemary and the like — mentioning it at booking helps us prepare the opening stage around you. Because the session runs long, we recommend planning it for a day when your schedule has some breathing room.
