During the change of seasons, the body needs more energy to adjust to the new weather and rhythm. For an overall well-being experience during these periods, Spa experts at Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus have created AYUS, a new half-day Spa package to energize body and mind. Elements in this package are rich in vitamins and enzymes that are known to improve overall health, and chosen products contain active ingredients to enhance the strength of the skin. Everything in AYUS is Ayurveda inspired, aiming to meet the specific needs of the body and mind of each guest.

At Four Seasons Hotel Bosphorus, we want to create a memorable experience by incorporating millenia-old Ayurvedic principles with food and beverage elements as well as modern Spa therapies. says Food and Beverage Director Khalid Bseiso.
AYUS is designed on the philosophy that the way a person looks, thinks, behaves and feels is result of a combination of elements and energies. These elements have qualities that are similar to fire, water, earth, wind and space. The blend of these energies and elements creates three doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. The half day package begins with a dosha assessment. Based on the outcome, every guest receives a tailor-made program including a 60-minute Spa treatment and personal fitness training. Spa treatments are followed by a healthy vegetarian menu by the Hotels Executive Chef Sebastiano Spriveri at Aqua Restaurant to complete this special experience.

About Doshas
Vata, which means to move is the least tangible and yet the most powerful of all three doshas. Pitta means to heat or to burn. Kapha means to embrace or to keep together. Doshas are not fixed in quantity or location and they have the natural tendency to change, move and become unbalanced. As a person is a blend of the three doshas, and the amount of each dosha determines not only the way we look but also how we think, speak, act and feel.
