by Caroline Dalal, Resident – A Luxury Lifestyle Magazine
A Celebration of Tradition and Elegance in North Miami
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.
A Momentous Ribbon Cutting with Distinguished Guests
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.
An Immersive Turkish Spa Experience
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
A Night of Turkish Splendor
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.
A Legacy of Ottoman Elegance in Miami
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.
