Hamam Etiquette

A reservation is required for a visit to the hamam.
Please make your reservations well in advance. (phone +41 61 826 24 24 or info@aquabasilea.ch)


  • Our hamam is not the place to bare it all. Wearing the pestemal (hand towel) is obligatory. The pestemal may be set aside during the body cleanse and wash carried out by yourself as well as in the rasul.
  • The hamam is a place for both inner and outer cleansing. Please remember that silence can be very powerful! We would ask that you limit your conversation as much as possible.
  • The reserved and confirmed appointment refers to the start of the hamam experience. If your package includes a massage, we will inform you of the time of the treatment when you arrive.
  • The times listed for the massages include a rest period afterwards.
  • If you exceed your booked hamam period, an additional fee of CHF 3.50 CHF (per half-hour started) must be paid upon exiting.
  • Visitors 16 and older are permitted access to the aquabasilea hamam.
  • Please register at the main reception on the right hand side or on the first floor at the spa and fitness reception at least ten minutes before your treatment is due to begin.
  • Please be aware: For cancellations of reserved hamam appointments less than 24 hours beforehand, we must charge the entire amount based on the price list. Appointments booked on-line cannot be cancelled but may be changed on-line based on availability up to 24 hours before the original appointment.
