Most guests who experience a VIP massage in Istanbul once want to make this ritual a regular part of their lives rather than saving it for special occasions. The VIP massage at O’SPA’s centre in Skyland Istanbul combines massage, scrub and foam, and use of the wet areas in a single 120-minute flow. In this article we compare the 5, 10 and 20-session VIP massage packages and help you decide which one suits your frequency of use, budget and expectations. Our aim is not to steer you towards the largest package but to help you find the one you will actually use.
What Does the VIP Massage Ritual Include?
Before evaluating the packages, let us clarify the content. The VIP Massage at O’SPA lasts 120 minutes in total and consists of three parts:
- 50 minutes of massage: a personalised session with aromatic oils in a soundproofed suite
- 30 minutes of scrub and foam: a cleansing stage in the traditional hammam with its marble navel stone
- 40 minutes of facility use: free relaxation in the Finnish dry sauna, steam room and relax lounge
A single VIP Massage costs 8,000 ₺ (20% VAT included). For a detailed description of each stage of the ritual, read our article what is a VIP massage and the stages of the 120-minute ritual.
Istanbul VIP Massage Packages: A Comparison in Numbers
The logic of the VIP packages is the same as the classic ones: the more sessions, the lower the cost per session. Current prices are as follows:
- 5-Session VIP Massage Package: 35,000 ₺ — 7,000 ₺ per session
- 10-Session VIP Massage Package: 60,000 ₺ — 6,000 ₺ per session
- 20-Session VIP Massage Package: 110,000 ₺ — 5,500 ₺ per session
- Single VIP Massage: 8,000 ₺
For example, someone planning ten VIP rituals over a year spends 80,000 ₺ on single sessions; with the 10-session package the amount is 60,000 ₺. In the 20-session package, each ritual costs roughly two thirds of a single session. All figures include VAT, so there is no extra tax calculation to make when comparing.
Which VIP Package Suits You?
5 sessions: for those getting to know the ritual and building a habit
Ideal for guests who have tried the VIP ritual once and liked it but are not yet sure how often they can come. Five sessions, once a month or every six weeks, create a balanced renewal programme covering a few months. It can be a good choice at the change of seasons, after an intense project period or while preparing for a long winter.
10 sessions: for those turning regular care into a lifestyle
The most balanced option for guests who find the combination of hammam, sauna and massage indispensable at least once a month. Ten sessions offer a plan that can be spread across most of the year and noticeably lower the per-session cost. People trying to balance a stressful work pace with a busy social life often see this package as the most sensible middle ground.
20 sessions: for those who make the VIP ritual a weekly or fortnightly routine
The most economical option for those who do not compromise on time for themselves and want to come every two weeks or even more often. If you plan to share the package with a family member, we recommend asking our team about the terms before purchasing.
Ask Yourself Before Deciding
The easiest way to choose the right package is to answer a few simple questions honestly:
- How many times a month can I set aside time for the VIP ritual in the coming months?
- Do the hammam and sauna parts suit me, or do I only want to focus on the massage?
- Will I be the only one using the package, or should I ask about the terms of use separately?
- Do I have a health condition related to high heat, a pregnancy or a cardiovascular condition? If so, I should consult my doctor first.
- Is the feeling of cleansing from the scrub and foam, together with the massage, a priority for me?
If you only want to focus on the massage part, the 50-minute classic massage packages may be more suitable. But if you want to bring heat, cleansing and rest together in one session, the VIP packages offer a more complete experience.
The Benefits of Enjoying the VIP Ritual Regularly
The 120-minute flow gives time to slow down not only the muscles but also the mind. The heat of the sauna and steam room prepares the body for the massage, the scrub and foam cleanse the skin, and the herbal tea in the relax lounge helps you carry the calm of the session into the rest of your day. Practised regularly, this ritual creates a fixed stop of your own in busy city life. If you are curious about other ways to make time for yourself, see our article the best way to make time for yourself in Istanbul.
At O’SPA, sessions are performed by internationally certified therapists; aromatic oils, a hot towel and herbal tea are included in every ritual. Our centre is open every day from 09:00 to 23:00 and guests can use the free indoor car park, so you can comfortably fit your VIP ritual even into the evening hours.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your VIP Package
Buying the package is only the first step; the real difference appears in how you plan your sessions. The following small habits help you get more out of every ritual:
- Avoid a heavy meal before your appointment; a light meal is more comfortable for both the sauna and the massage.
- Arrive 10–15 minutes before your session so you can get ready without rushing.
- Tell your therapist clearly about your pressure preference and the areas where you feel tension.
- Drink plenty of water during and after the sauna and steam room.
- Try not to jump into a busy schedule right after the ritual; rest a few more minutes in the relax lounge.
- Keep your rhythm by booking the next session as you leave the previous one.
