Want to add your FAQ?

Where to go for a spa in Northern Cyprus if you are not staying at a hotel: a selection of places with day passes and centers where it is more cost-effective to book a massage with access to the spa area.

As of January 28, 2026, day passes at spas in Northern Cyprus start from 17 GBP (Sun Valley) and 20 EUR (Palmera Spa & Wellness) and go up to 80 EUR (Kaya Palazzo). Some hotel spas have a rule: if you pay for a massage, a separate day pass is not required (Palmera, Sun Valley, Kaya Palazzo, Cratos). The selection below includes options with a hammam, sauna, steam room, and pool, as well as spas with programs for one/two people or groups. To make a reservation, usually a phone call or message to the number listed for each place is sufficient.

How to choose a spa in Northern Cyprus

Many spa areas in Northern Cyprus are located inside residential complexes and hotels. In Nicosia, there is also a historic hammam. For walk-in guests, there are usually two formats:

  • Day pass — payment for entry to the spa area (usually hammam/sauna/steam/pool/fitness center) for the day.
  • Service (massage/ritual) — you pay for the procedure, and access to the common spa area is included (in some places, a separate day pass is not required).

If you just want to "warm up" and swim — look for a day pass. If your goal is a massage or a program, it is often more cost-effective to book the procedure directly and check whether access to the spa area is included.

How to Do It: Booking and Preparation

  1. Choose a format: day pass (if you need the pool/hamam for a few hours) or a service (if your goal is a massage/program).
  2. Call the venue and clarify: the price for the desired date, what is included, whether you need to bring a swimsuit/slippers, and any time restrictions.
  3. If you are choosing a hotel spa, check if they accept external guests on the chosen day and if there are capacity restrictions.
  4. Book your time. For a massage, it is usually important to specify the duration (e.g., 60/90 minutes) and preferences for the type of massage.
  5. Arrive 10–15 minutes early: change clothes, fill out a questionnaire (if any), and start your visit calmly.
