The healing power of natural thermal water.
In Tuzla, on Istanbul’s Asian shore, mineral-rich water rises warm from the earth. For generations it has eased pain and restored the body — and today it sits at the heart of every programme of care at Istanbul Medical Thermal.
Centuries of healing, in one place.
Long before modern medicine, people travelled to thermal springs to recover their strength and ease aching joints. We continue that tradition with naturally heated, mineral-rich water drawn from our own source.
We are the only thermal facility in the city to pair these waters with on-site accommodation, so guests can bathe, rest, and continue therapy without ever leaving the grounds — turning a course of treatment into a calm, restorative stay.
Warm water that does the work for you.
Our indoor and outdoor pools are filled with naturally warm mineral water. Its buoyancy lifts weight from tired joints while the heat relaxes muscles, making movement easier and far more comfortable than it is on land.
Men’s and women’s sections offer the same amenities, with quieter private options for those who prefer them.
- Thermal pools kept at a comfortable 35–36 °C
- A hotter thermal jacuzzi at 41–42 °C for deep muscle relaxation
- Indoor and outdoor pools, plus sauna and steam room
- Separate men’s and women’s facilities with identical amenities
Therapy, guided in the water.
Hydrotherapy brings the same thermal water into structured, supervised treatment. Working alongside a physiotherapist, you perform guided exercises in the pool, where reduced load lets you move further and with less pain.
Targeted water jets add a gentle massage that loosens tight muscles and improves circulation, supporting recovery after injury or surgery.
- Underwater exercise that eases load on the joints and improves mobility
- Pressurised jets for muscle-relaxing massage and better circulation
- A supportive setting for rheumatic conditions, arthritis and sports injuries
- Gentle progress for post-injury and post-surgical recovery
Rituals that restore.
Alongside therapy, a full spa brings together Turkish bathing traditions and modern wellness — an unhurried way to care for body and mind.
An age-old internal cure.
The drinking cure (içme kürü) uses the same mineral water taken by mouth, in carefully measured amounts, as a traditional way to support the body from within.
Programmes run over three, seven, or twenty-one days. The water is taken slowly, at room temperature, in divided doses through the day — always under professional guidance.
- 3 days
Reset
A short programme traditionally used to support digestive comfort and everyday wellbeing.
- 7 days
Restore
A week-long course aimed at supporting metabolism and a renewed sense of balance.
- 21 days
Renew
An extended programme for those seeking deeper, more sustained metabolic and overall support.
The drinking cure should be followed under medical supervision. Tell your doctor about any digestive, kidney, blood-pressure, or dietary conditions before you begin. This information is educational and not a substitute for professional medical advice.
Where rehabilitation meets the spring.
Here, the thermal water is not a side attraction — it is woven into rehabilitation itself. Warm-water exercise, balneotherapy, and genuine rest combine with expert physiotherapy in a single place.
The result is a calmer, more complete recovery: clinical care by day, restorative thermal comfort throughout, and a room just steps from the pool.
