Exploring the Ancient Origins of Cleopatra's Pool

Cleopatra, the final Pharaoh of Egypt, is a name that resonates through the annals of history. Renowned for her intellect, she was a gifted scholar who ruled Egypt from the age of 18. Fluent in seven languages, she possessed a unique combination of political acumen and charm that captivated the greatest Roman leaders of her time, including Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. It is said that during their stay in Turkey, Marc Antony gifted Cleopatra the Ancient Pool of Hierapolis, a remarkable thermal spa renowned for its healing waters. Inspired by the stories of her legendary beauty and extraordinary bathing rituals, we crafted our spa range, Pools of Cleopatra.

A Brief History of Cleopatra’s Pool

Nestled within the ancient city of Hierapolis, Pamukkale—literally translating to "Cotton Castle"—is famous for its stunning calcium-rich springs. Over centuries, these springs have sculpted breathtaking white limestone formations that resemble snow-covered hills. Among these natural wonders lies Cleopatra's Pool, a partially manmade structure that is believed to have been a wedding gift from Marc Antony to the queen herself. Historically, this thermal pool has been a gathering place, attracting those in search of its healing properties.

A Sacred Legacy

Originally, the pool was flanked by a temple dedicated to Apollo, which was lost to the earth in the 7th century during a devastating earthquake. Today, visitors can swim among the ruins, adding a unique historical dimension to their experience. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this sacred area is meticulously preserved to maintain its historical significance.

The thermal waters of Cleopatra’s Pool maintain a soothing temperature of 36°C (97°F), rich in essential minerals such as iron, sulphate, and carbon dioxide, alongside small amounts of radioactive alpha particles. These properties have drawn attention throughout history, as the pool's therapeutic effects were documented as early as the 2nd century BC, when Hierapolis emerged as a prominent spa destination.
