For centuries hammam culture has been about conversation and celebration as much as bathing. The bridal hammam tradition is the best-known example. Today the same idea works for birthdays, hen parties and gatherings of friends.
At Lilyum the hammam is reserved for a single group in every session; you do not share it with guests you do not know. For a group gathering that is a real advantage: the conversation, the photos and the pace are entirely yours. For the same reason capacity is limited and group bookings need to be made in advance.
The first step is to confirm how many of you are coming. Everyone can take the same hammam programme, or some guests can choose a package that adds a massage after the bath. Send the group size and preferred programmes to our team on WhatsApp and we will plan a suitable time and flow together.
Afternoon slots suit groups who want to go on to dinner together afterwards. Evenings and weekends fill more quickly. We recommend arriving a little before the appointment so the whole group is ready at the same time.
Towels, a peştamal and slippers are provided. You can state your therapist gender preference when booking. If you would like to bring something for a special celebration, ask our team beforehand. Cancellations made up to 4 hours before the session are free of charge.
Choose your treatment, pick an available time. Your confirmation comes straight through on WhatsApp.

The peeling hammam package comes with a choice: coffee or sea salt. We compare texture, feel and how both differ from the kese scrub so you can pick the one that suits you.
