Old Town is a family-friendly residential district — most spas here are ladies-only, family-run, and welcoming of children. Bridal packages are a local specialty. Bookings during ladies-only mornings (typically 10 AM-3 PM) are easiest; evenings can be busier with regulars on weekly routines.
For first-timers in Old Town: arrive 10 minutes early so you have time to change and a brief consultation with your therapist. Bring swimwear if you're booking a hammam or thermal treatment (some spas provide disposable underwear; many spa-goers prefer their own). Don't shave the day of — scrub treatments will sting freshly shaved skin. Hydrate before and after, and skip alcohol for 12 hours on either side of a massage.
