Velur Spa Tirana

Relaxing time in a Turkish bath

""Velur Spa" in Tirana is one of my favorite spots to relax at. Their Turkish bath is the best, the staff is very polite the prices very reasonable!"

Velur Spa is one of the relaxing spots in Tirana I enjoy to the fullest. Especially during wintertime, my favourite activity is to go and “lock myself in” their spacious and superb Turkish bath. This experience is ideal for visitors who want to open some pores in their skins, purify their lungs and throats with the steamy air and bathe in alternating hot and cold water.

In the Turkish bath, you can stay as long as you wish, and obviously, as long as you can, taking into consideration the high temperatures! The staff is always polite and kind, they can keenly bring you fresh water or another towel if you ever need it. Everything is at its place, and a relaxing time is guaranteed. The prices are also very reasonable, and the staff posts offers and combos regularly on the website. Plus, there is always the possibility to accompany your hot Turkish bath with a massage!
