Russian Turkish Baths: A Century-Old Tradition Thrives on Collins Avenue

For over a century, the Russian Turkish Baths have kept alive the timeless rituals of communal bathing—a full day of schvitzing, detoxing, steaming, swimming, and pure relaxation. What began in New York's East Village in 1892 expanded to Miami Beach in 1994, bringing this unexpected urban paradise to Collins Avenue.

Nestled in the lower lobby of the Castle Beach Club at 5445 Collins Ave, the Miami Beach location carries forward the same ancient practice that has drawn generations: heat, cold, connection, and community.

The Art of Banya

The bathhouse specializes in the traditional Russian banya experience—alternating between blazing hot saunas and ice-cold plunges in the name of health and rejuvenation. And it's absolutely glorious.

The Miami location features an impressive array of thermal experiences: Finnish, Infrared, and Amethyst Saunas, a Russian Radiant Room (the authentic schvitz), Turkish Hammam steam, Aromatherapy Steam Room, ocean water Jacuzzi with hydrotherapy waterfall, 34-degree cold plunges, and access to an Olympic-size swimming pool and the beach.

Specialty treatments include the signature Platza Oak Leaf Treatment, Dead Sea Salt Scrubs, Black Mud Treatments, and traditional Hammam services.

Refuel with Russian Comfort Food

After hours of bathing and relaxation, the on-site restaurant offers an authentic culinary escape featuring traditional Russian dishes—bright aromatic borscht, tender beef stroganoff—complemented by freshly squeezed juices, Russian beers, wine, and herbal teas.

One Membership, Two Cities

A unique perk: purchase an admission card once and use it at both the Miami Beach and original New York locations.
