What is Hot Stone Massage?

Hot Stone Massage is a specialised technique in which basalt stones — known for holding heat exceptionally well — are heated to a set temperature, placed on various points of the body, and used alongside massage strokes. The deep warmth the stones give off helps soften muscle layers that hands alone can struggle to reach, achieving a deeper effect with less pressure than classic massage. Basalt stones are chosen specifically for this technique because of how long they hold their heat; the warmed areas relax more deeply with less pressure, making the session more comfortable than a hand massage of the same depth. The stones are both placed on fixed points and glided over oiled skin, used almost like a massage tool.

At Nova Spa Antalya Massage Salon, the stones are hygienically prepared in a professional heater, with the temperature adjusted to each guest's skin sensitivity. The therapist both places the stones on fixed points — along the spine, in the palms — and glides them over oiled skin like a massage tool. You can enjoy this hot stone massage in Antalya in private, hygienic rooms at our centre on Fatih Caddesi in Muratpaşa, with certified male and female therapists; stone temperature and pressure preference are checked with you throughout the session, and your comfort at every stage is the priority.

It's a strong alternative especially for guests with significant muscle tension, those who feel cold on the table, or anyone who finds classic massage isn't quite enough — the way the heat penetrates the muscles also stands out for being less tiring on the body. If you have a cardiovascular condition, high blood pressure, or skin issues such as an open wound or sunburn, we strongly recommend letting your therapist know beforehand; for pregnant guests, the session can be applied at a lower temperature based on the therapist's assessment. If you have diabetes or a circulation disorder, please let us know in advance as well — this helps us set the stone temperature safely. If you have any doubts about a health condition, consulting your doctor beforehand is always the safest approach.

Even though Antalya enjoys a warm climate year-round, spending long hours in air-conditioned spaces or stepping out of the sea into a cool breeze can leave the body with unexpected tension. You may notice a light warmth lingering in your body after the session — that's a natural effect of the stones and it fades quickly; drinking plenty of water supports the muscles' recovery. Hot stone massage in Antalya is a popular choice for anyone wanting to rebalance the body after this kind of sudden temperature change; guests from Konyaaltı, Lara, Kundu and Muratpaşa often choose this deeply relaxing experience during their massage salon visits. Call us on 0543 225 07 30 or message us on WhatsApp to book; we're open every day from 8:30 AM to 3:30 AM.
