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
- 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).
- 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.
- If you are choosing a hotel spa, check if they accept external guests on the chosen day and if there are capacity restrictions.
- 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.
- Arrive 10–15 minutes early: change clothes, fill out a questionnaire (if any), and start your visit calmly.
