The Turkish people are known for their positive attitude towards health and wellbeing. The country is awash with natural thermal springs, luxury spas and traditional hamam’s, putting Turkey firmly on the map, as a world-class health and wellness destination.
Today, many of Turkey’s properties are in areas with natural splendour and high oxygen levels. There has also been a recent trend to incorporate spas and Turkish baths into the properties and property complexes.
Throughout Turkey, you will find a range of historic hamam’s (Turkish Baths). Traditional styles will have an attendant wash and massage you, scrubbing away at your skin to leave you feeling completely clean and rejuvenated. Some baths will also have other services such as aroma therapy massage, reflexology or Indian head massage.
There has also been a huge movement in Turkey towards health and diet, and it is often the country of choice for those that want to kick-start a new healthy regime. The LifeCo spa, on the north coast of the Bodrum peninsula, has attracted worldwide attention for its rejuvenating methods.
Turkey is famous for its natural springs and many visitors come to enjoy its high oxygen levels. This makes the country perfect for spas such as the Natur-Med Thermal Springs And Health Resort, set along the Aegean coast. This combines luxury with the natural healing thermal springs.
The Spa Concept
Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Kelly Brook and John Galliano are just a handful of celebrities who have visited one of Turkey’s famous spas. All new hotels in the country today are built with top of the range spa facilities and there is a host of different treatments to choose from.
This, in turn, has had a huge effect on the property industry. New developments are incorporating the spa real estate in Turkey, especially in Istanbul. Both local and international developers are building and offering spa accommodation for sale in developments featuring Turkish baths, saunas and other health facilities like vitamin bars.
Effect on the Property Market
As golf has brought in a whole new property buying client, so too has the new spa resorts and according to a report from the Global Wellness Institute, in 2013, the wellness tourism economy was worth $439 billion, accounting for an incredible 14% of all tourism spending worldwide. This figure is projected to increase by 9.1% annually until 2017.
Not only has wellness impacted on tourism, it has started to influence property markets too. “The rise of luxury spas and wellness resorts has given Turkey an extra appeal to home buyers,” says Tolga Ertukel, Founder of Turkey Homes. “Buyers now demand that the same level of service that can be found in Turkish hotels can also be found in new luxury property developments, enabling many investors to rent out luxurious Turkish spa property for a premium.”
