Istanbul Airport is a huge hub through which tens of thousands of passengers and staff move every day. Pilots, cabin crew, ground staff, transfer passengers and residents of the surrounding Arnavutköy district… In this article we share our ideas for a spa break from Istanbul Airport and the Arnavutköy district.
For Aviation Staff
For cabin crew and pilots, long flights, changing time zones, working in tight spaces and hours on your feet leave clear marks on the body. For ground staff, it's carrying, lifting and shift work.
- Swedish Massage: Whole-body relaxation after a long flight.
- Reflexology: For feet that have stood for hours.
- Deep Tissue Massage: For the tension carrying and lifting leave in the back and shoulders.
- Aromatherapy Massage: To prepare for sleep after a time change.

For Passengers
For passengers just arriving in Istanbul, or staying a few days before flying on, O'SPA Sky on the city's northern axis is a practical stop between the airport and the city centre. A short Back Massage before a flight helps you start a long journey rested. If you're travelling on business, see Business Travel in Istanbul.
For Residents of the Arnavutköy District
For families living in the fast-growing Arnavutköy district alongside the airport, a weekend spa ritual restores balance after a busy week. For a sample programme, see A Day at O'SPA Sky.
Important Note
If after a long flight you have marked swelling, pain or redness in one leg, shortness of breath or chest pain, do not have a massage and seek medical care immediately.
