The Turkish Hammam is one of the world's most ancient and revered bathing rituals, rooted in centuries of Middle Eastern and Ottoman culture. At its heart, it is a ceremony of cleansing — not just of the body, but of the mind and spirit.
In the heart of Malta, nestled within the luxurious ambiance of Carisma Spa, we invite you to embark on a journey of pure relaxation through the Turkish Hammam experience.
The Hammam Experience
A traditional hammam begins with a period of relaxation in a steam-filled room, allowing heat to open the pores and prepare the skin for deep cleansing. This is followed by exfoliation using a traditional kessa mitt (a coarse exfoliating glove), which removes dead skin cells and reveals a fresher, smoother layer beneath.
After exfoliation, a full-body massage is performed using rich spa foam, leaving the skin feeling silky and nourished. The ritual concludes with a warm water rinse and, in many traditions, the application of hydrating oils or masks.
