Long, flowing strokes and gentle kneading that melt away tension and leave you deeply relaxed. The perfect introduction to massage at Mandara Spa in Fatih.
About the treatment
Swedish massage is the world's most popular relaxation massage. Your therapist uses long gliding strokes, kneading and gentle circular movements with warm oil to relax the muscles and calm the nervous system.
At Mandara Spa, every session begins with a short chat about your preferred pressure and any areas that need extra care, so the massage feels exactly right for you. It's an ideal choice after a long flight or a full day exploring Istanbul's historic peninsula.
