Wellness & Spa
The phrase "Selus Per Aqua" in Latin translates to "Health through Water" or "Health from Water" in Turkish. The origin of the word "Spa" can be traced back to the Romans and is widely used in Europe. The terms "Sudan Gelen Sağlık" or "Su ile Gelen Sağlık" in Turkish emphasize the positive effects of water on health in the context of spa facilities.

"For someone who has spent their holidays in Kaş for many years, Hera Hotel is one of the hotels that I am most satisfied with. I highly recommend it as a good choice for a vacation and Turkey's cleanest sea." Enver Arcak
"At Hera Hotel Spa Facilities, the use of the Turkish bath, a tradition rooted in our history, is designed for your relaxation, rejuvenation, and cleansing, prioritizing hygiene. You can unwind on the warm belly stone and soothe your back muscles."
The word "hamam," of Arabic origin, refers to a bathing area containing both hot and cold water. In our country, when the term "hamam" is mentioned, it typically refers to independent buildings, separate from other structures in the vicinity, where bathing services are offered. Many of the historical hamams in our country operate within a single building. Some hamams built after the Ottoman period, however, may be located in the lower floors of various buildings. In the context of our country, answering the question "what is a hamam?" we can describe them as establishments providing cleansing services. Attendants, such as tellaks, who assist visitors with cleansing using items like scrubbing mitts, are integral parts of hamams.
Sauna
In our sauna, the aim is to address certain health issues with an abundance of steam. The temperature in our saunas ranges between 45 to 50 degrees Celsius, with humidity reaching 100 percent.
Steam rooms, with lower temperatures compared to saunas, are gentler on individuals. Proven health benefits include alleviating muscle pain, clearing respiratory blockages, increasing sweating to eliminate toxins, cleansing the skin, and providing overall relaxation. Steam baths are effective for respiratory conditions, recommended for issues like colds, sinusitis, and bronchitis, and contribute to throat soothing. They also have a positive impact on the nervous system, reducing fatigue and stress. Additionally, using a steam room after exercise helps eliminate lactic acid, reducing muscle soreness.
