If this list were to include rankings, the Talise Ottoman Spa would be the pre-eminent winner. The opulence that this group brings to the spa industry is unmatched. The color schemes, treatment programs, hospitality, and attentiveness culminate in the elite luxury experience. Offering various unique organic treatments, Talise focuses its programs on the centuries-old tradition of the hammam. Marble carvings and Turkish mosaics cover the spa’s walls and bring a sense of community to those who are fortunate enough to spend time inside.

Enjoy an aromatic Arabian tea or beverage while you meander the hushed spa walkways and allow your senses to mingle with the exotic oils that aerate the building. Most of the services at the Talise Ottoman Spa are over an hour long, allowing for maximum comfort and unwinding from the stress of daily life. Group personal training events are available for small business retreats, and although the booking process is relatively simple, we recommend reserving a spot ahead of time.
