Custom Hamam & Turkish Steam Bath

A hamam, also called a Turkish hamam or steam bath, is an ancient tradition that dates back to Roman and Byzantine times. The hamam developed from the bath houses and thermal baths and is a place where people can wash and relax. A hamam spa is a place where the body and mind come together and are cleansed.

The main difference between a hammam and sauna is the temperature. This is because the temperature of a hammam or steam bath is lower (40 - 45°C) than a sauna (70 - 110°C). Also, a hamam is considerably more humid. The humidity can be as high as between 80 and 100%, where in a sauna the average is about 15%.

A regular hamam wellness treatment has many benefits on overall health and constitution. Because the body sweats in a hamam, it eliminates toxins and you burn an average of 300 calories per session. Also, a hamam treatment improves blood flow to the skin and to cells, tissues and organs. This relieves or cures ailments such as muscle tension or weakness. Better blood flow to the skin, results in brighter, clearer and more elastic skin.

A hamam treatment has a positive effect on the respiratory system due to the high humidity. This can significantly improve asthma, bronchitis, coughing and hoarseness. Daily stress and tension can also be combated with a relaxing hamam ritual.

Cleopatra is a specialist in wellness products for both private and professional use. The Cleopatra hamam was developed with the professional user in mind: the cabin is durable, easy to maintain and safe for the user.

Cleopatra determines this based on the dimensions and layout of the hammam. The Cleopatra hammam uses integrated steam technology that is tailored to the space and the desired level of comfort (40–45°C and high humidity).


Cleopatra determines the power based on the volume of the room. Guideline: approximately 1 kW per 1–1.5 m³, depending on insulation and materials.

The Cleopatra steam system is installed outside the cabin and connected to the hammam, usually in a utility room or closet. It should be installed as close to the cabin as possible.

Depending on the model of the Cleopatra hammam, 230V may be sufficient, but larger custom-built hammams may require three-phase power.

Cleopatra hamams are designed as fully enclosed steam baths with high humidity (80–100%) and feature controlled ventilation and a vapor-tight construction.

Cleopatra hammams are custom-made and are often integrated into existing bathrooms. However, the space must be suitable for vapor-tight construction and installation. For efficient use of space, we recommend equipping the hammam with a shower.

Because Cleopatra systems use steam and water, periodic descaling is recommended, depending on water hardness (usually a few times a year). We offer a maintenance plan tailored to your specific usage situation.

This depends heavily on the frequency of use combined with maintenance. The physical structure itself can last for more than 25 years.

Cleopatra hammams feature built-in benches that are an integral part of the cabin and are designed for relaxation and comfort. With years of experience, we are experts in creating the best ergonomic experience for your hammam. You can experience it for yourself at the Cleopatra showroom.

Cleopatra hammams consist of modular panels or a structural framework. This allows the cabins to be installed within one day. The walls, roof, and seating areas can be tiled. The panels are made of specialized materials that are highly resistant to heat and moisture.
