Thermal Facilities and Pools

The thermal center houses an indoor thermal pool, sauna, steam room, bath facilities, an adventure shower, and jet showers. The property also maintains an outdoor thermal pool in the garden area.

The thermal water in Karahayıt differs from the white travertine waters of Pamukkale, as it contains high levels of iron minerals. This composition causes the water to turn red and brown when exposed to air, a natural indicator of its mineral composition.

Thermal Water Benefits and Health Considerations

The thermal waters are utilized for treating inflammatory rheumatic conditions during chronic stages, as well as non-inflammatory conditions including chronic back pain, myositis, tendinitis, fibromyalgia syndrome, and myofascial pain. The water is also beneficial for post-operative rehabilitation and extended periods of immobility recovery.

Certain guest populations should exercise caution. The thermal water is not suitable for pregnant women, individuals with heart conditions, those with serious chronic illnesses, or very young children. For children ages three to six, limited use of five to ten minutes in foot or hand baths is recommended. Children over six years old may use the pools for five to ten minutes with doctor approval.

Proper usage guidelines include entering the water one to one-and-a-half hours after a light meal, avoiding prolonged movement while in the water, and remaining in upright or seated positions. After thermal use, complete drying and a rest period is advised.

Massage and spa treatments through Balzam Spa are available by contacting the hotel. Services can be arranged at +90 258 271 42 94 (extension 6081) or by email. The fitness center provides equipment and facilities for guest exercise routines.
