Hamam Omerye, A voyage in the paradise of senses

Cyprus unlocked
A historical gem not to be missed, in the heart of Nicosia’s Old Town next to the Omerye Mosque and the Archbishop’s Palace, takes your body and soul on a journey of mystical oriental pleasures.

Once you cross the doors of Hamam Omerye, your senses are awash with an indescribable serenity. There is an impressive dome, a polygonal marble bench and carved troughs with running water gushing from traditional fountains, private booths offering a warm atmosphere with calm music, aromatic oils, oriental tea, water with lemon blossoms and treats such as Τurkish delights and spoon sweets. What follows is a close succession of images liberated from any thought, “captives” in this unique experience that cleanses your mind, body and soul through the authentic hamam experience. Inside this “silent healer” –as most used to refer to hamams in the past– you are guaranteed to regain a much needed feeling of serenity and wellbeing, through a range of face and body rituals that also claim to offer a fresher, younger look. Surrender to the healing properties of steam, indulge in a deep skin peeling or a soothing massage, relax in the special area of Onda and treat yourself to a luxurious experience, an essential part of the good life.

Embark on a journey into the world of senses on top the warm stone plate, while experienced therapists cleanse you, using black soap and eucalyptus or black olive paste with fresh spearmint, and later enjoy a relaxing or therapeutic massage in the magically decorated Onda cabins. This wonderful Hamam, which has received the Europa Nostra Award for Architectural Heritage Conservation, uses only high quality organic products and employs professional masseurs and physiotherapists. A magical and unprecedented experience awaits you here. Allow yourself to enjoy without any guilt…
