Unlike European resorts, saunas are not popular in Uludağ. They find it difficult to compete with the famous Turkish baths, whose reputation has echoed worldwide since the time of the Roman Empire. Therefore, SPA resorts in Uludağ often offer this traditional bathing experience.
The best SPA services in Uludağ can be found in Bursa, a neighboring city located 35 km away from the resort. Not far from Bedesten, the historic center of the former Ottoman Empire capital, there is a large complex of Turkish baths that you simply can't miss.
Additionally, the Uludağ SPA center is located 80 km away from the resort, in the botanical garden near the thermal source of Yalova. Here, visitors are also invited to partake in the rituals of the traditional Turkish bath and enjoy a swim in an outdoor pool, where the temperature is maintained around 38°C throughout the year.
