On January 10, 2025, Miami welcomed a new pinnacle of wellness with the grand opening of Hürrem Hammam Wellness & Spa—the first authentic Turkish spa in the United States. Nestled in North Miami at 14652 Biscayne Boulevard, the opulent 20,000-square-foot sanctuary made its grand debut with a ceremonial ribbon cutting, followed by an evening of Turkish splendor.
Founder and owner Gokhan Yavuzer, a seasoned visionary in spa development, was joined by esteemed guests for the official inauguration. Among the notable speakers were:
The Director of the Turkish Consulate
The Business Associate President of ASKON
David Burney, Chairman of the North Miami Chamber of Commerce
Rolando Aedo, COO of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau
Anthony Bonamy, Chairman of the Miami Dade County Commission
Speaking on the significance of the occasion, Yavuzer remarked:
“This is an incredible and momentous occasion for us as we bring the unique experience of Turkish baths to the US. Having developed many spas throughout the decades, I wanted to take my experience and bring a Turkish hammam like no other and elevate what a guest experiences at a spa and wellness destination.”
Following the ribbon cutting, guests indulged in an authentic sensory journey through Hürrem’s lavish facilities. Designed as a holistic wellness retreat, the space boasts:
Three hammams for traditional Turkish bathing rituals
Seven private treatment rooms, including a couple’s suite and a room with private steam and pressure water therapy
A salt room, Tepid area, and multiple saunas
Two marble scrub rooms and a hydromassage pool
A relaxation lounge and well-appointed locker rooms
Topkaki Restaurant, an on-site dining experience inspired by the Ottoman Empire’s culinary heritage
The grand opening festivities continued into the evening with a red-carpet affair. Attendees were treated to a carefully curated evening of Turkish entertainment, including mesmerizing dancers, a live DJ, and traditional Turkish instrumental performances. Guests savored an array of canapés from Topkaki Restaurant, where Ottoman flavors met contemporary fine dining in an exquisite culinary experience.
Hürrem Hammam Wellness & Spa draws inspiration from the golden age of the Ottoman Empire and the legendary romance of Sultan Süleyman I and Hürrem Sultan. Much like the hammams that flourished during their reign, Hürrem reimagines these communal spaces, merging centuries-old traditions with modern luxury.
