Authentic
Turkish Hammam Experience
at the Four Seasons Costa Rica
The Four Seasons Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo’s Hammam - a genuine experience of body cleaning from head to feet inspired by
Turkish and Moroccan Hammam - opened its doors to guests late 2018. Personalized training was provided by ALaTurca sisters, Guniz
Gonen-Alkan and Sultan Gonen-Griffin.
“We implement the tools used during both of
the rituals, torba and kessa. We also source
with a local organic company which exclusively
created soaps with an organic olive or coconut
oil base, indigenous essential oils and activated
charcoal plus a Costa Rican version of the
Moroccan black soap. The experience can be
performed for individual or couples. This is a
perfect ritual to start any vacation and prepare
skin for sun exposure. It is also an excellent
detoxification from city pollution. The essential
oils used during the ritual will help to clean the
lungs and respiratory system.”
Arnaud Dieutegard
Spa Manager
“Four Seasons Costa Rica’s therapists are,
gifted therapists with an inspiring conviction.
We have no doubt that they will continue to
delight their guests in their new and exquisite
Hammam.”
