What is a Peloid Hamam?

A Peloid Hamam is a wellness treatment that combines the traditional Turkish bath with natural healing mud therapy. Guests enjoy a full hamam ritual sauna, steam room, mud pool, and massage using mineral-rich peloid mud known for its therapeutic and cosmetic benefits.

What is the meaning of Peloid?

The word peloid comes from the Greek pelos, meaning “mud” or “clay.” It refers to naturally matured healing mud composed of mineral water, clay, and organic substances. Peloids are used in medical spas for skin care, detoxification, and pain relief due to their rich content of minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and sulfur.

Is there separate service for men and women?

Yes. In our Peloid Hamam, services for men and women are held separately to ensure privacy and comfort.

What are the benefits of Mud Baths?

Mud baths have been used for centuries to improve overall well-being. They help detoxify the skin, remove dead cells, relieve muscle and joint pain, stimulate blood circulation, and promote relaxation. The minerals in the mud nourish the skin, making it softer and more elastic after each session.

What does Mud Baths heal?

Peloid mud baths are believed to support the treatment of various skin and joint conditions. They help reduce inflammation, ease arthritis and rheumatism pain, relieve stress, and soothe skin issues such as acne, psoriasis, or eczema. While not a medical cure, they provide noticeable comfort and relaxation.

Who should not use Mud Baths?

People with open wounds, active skin infections, serious heart problems, or high blood pressure should avoid mud baths. Pregnant women and those with certain medical conditions should consult their doctor before using peloid therapy. The treatment is not recommended immediately after alcohol consumption or heavy meals.

How long should you avoid showering after Mud Baths?

It’s best not to shower for at least 2 to 3 hours after a mud bath to allow the minerals to continue nourishing the skin. A quick rinse is fine, but avoid soap or exfoliating products right after the treatment for maximum effect.

What minerals are in the peloid mud?

Peloid mud typically contains natural minerals such as magnesium, calcium, sulfur, potassium, sodium, zinc, and iron. These elements help detoxify the skin, reduce inflammation, and improve cell regeneration. The exact mineral composition depends on the origin of the mud for example, Dalyan in Muğla is famous for its rich peloid deposits.

Where can I find Mud Baths near Belek?

One of the best places for mud baths near Belek is the Peloid Hamam Spa, operated by Belek Travel, located about 20–25 minutes from the resort area. The program includes transfer from hotels, insurance, sauna, steam room, mud pool, and massage. Booking is available online or via WhatsApp with no prepayment and real reviews from visitors.

How are peloids formed?

Peloids form naturally over thousands of years when mineral-rich water mixes with organic materials such as algae, clay, and silt in thermal or lake environments. Through biological and chemical processes, this mixture matures into therapeutic mud, ready for use in spas and medical treatments.

How often can I do peloid therapy?

For relaxation and skincare, once or twice a week is ideal. For therapeutic purposes (joint or muscle pain), doctors in spa resorts often recommend short courses of 10–15 sessions. Always allow your skin to rest at least one day between treatments.

How is Peloid Hamam different from a normal Turkish bath?

A standard Turkish bath focuses on cleansing and relaxation using steam, soap, and massage. A Peloid Hamam adds the unique healing element of natural mud therapy. The mineral-rich peloid mud deeply cleanses pores, improves skin tone, and provides additional health benefits that go beyond the traditional hamam ritual.

Massage

In a modern hamam, massage comes after the scrub and foam phases. The masseur or masseuse uses warm aromatic oils, sometimes combined with gentle stretching or hot stone techniques, to relieve tension and soothe muscles. Some restored Ottoman style hammams now offer a “gentle hand massage with anti-aging rose body cream” or a foot massage as part of a deluxe package. The traditional bath ritual is paired with Oriental or modern massage variations to give visitors more choices.

Thai Massage

Thai massage, also known as Nuad Thai or traditional Thai massage, is officially listed by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, making it a recognized cultural treasure. Unlike oil-based massages, it is done fully clothed on a mat without oils and combines stretching, gentle pressure, rhythmic rocking, and yoga style movements along the body’s natural energy lines. Health studies show Thai massage can ease back pain, improve flexibility, lower stress, lift mood, and support better sleep. In our spa center in Belek, Belek Travel offers authentic Thai massage together with Turkish bath and other wellness therapies. The sessions are led by trained Thai and Turkish therapists, ensuring a calm, balanced, and deeply relaxing experience during your holiday in Turkey.

Ottoman Bathhouse

One notable option is Belek Osmanlı Hamam, listed among the best hammams and Turkish baths in Belek. Ottoman hamams were once central to daily life during the 16th century. Architecturally, Ottoman baths feature the classic three part layout: a hot room with a central heated marble slab, a warm room for washing and massage, and a cool room for resting. The Ottoman tradition treated the hamam not just as a bath but as a social, spiritual, and healing place cleansing body and soul, hosting gatherings, rituals, and even prewedding baths.

Healing Mud

The healing mud used in Belek’s peloid hamam is actually brought from Dalyan in Muğla, a region famous for its rich mineral deposits. This mud is officially approved by Turkey’s Ministry of Health and is prized for containing useful micro and macro elements that promote skin care and natural detoxification. At the hamam, the healing mud is applied in a mud bath or mud pool setting. It’s said to help draw out impurities, soften skin, and provide a soothing, therapeutic feel.

Fish therapy

At Belek Travel Spa the Dr. Fish foot therapy as part of the treatment, lasting around 10–15 minutes. During this relaxing session, small fish known as Garra rufa or “doctor fish” gently remove dead skin cells as you place your feet in a clean, well maintained water basin. This natural method helps soften calluses, improve blood circulation, and create a light tickling sensation that many guests find soothing. While general fish pedicures may carry hygiene risks if not properly managed, at Belek Travel Spa we follow strict cleaning and water filtration standards to ensure a safe, hygienic, and pleasant therapy experience for every guest.
