90 minutes at Hammam Al-Andalus in Malaga with hot, warm, cold baths, steam room, mint tea, and an included aromatic massage.
“This is a beautiful place with wonderfully attentive and kind staff. The hot water pool, hot stones and the massage were our favourite parts of our visit. We were so relaxed when we left for the evening. Thank you!”
Granada Hammam Al Ándalus: 1.5-hour hot, cold, and steam rooms, mint tea, and optional 15/30 minute massage by the Alhambra.
“This was a truly special experience. The location was amazing and the staff were incredibly attentive while being very discrete ...”
Palma’s Hammam Al Ándalus offers a 90-minute Arab bath circuit plus optional 15 to 45-minute massage, mint tea, and small-group calm.
“The changing room and shower area was a little small, would be great if there had been a bit more space as when I was changing it was very full. But the showers, shampoos, hairdryer/Straighteners were great!”
Relax in Córdoba’s Hammam Al Ándalus with hot, cold, and steam baths, plus an optional kessa massage. Small group, 75 minutes.
“Very relaxing. Calming space, great 15min mini massage at the end”
90 minutes of candle-lit hammam relaxation in Granada with mint tea, hot and cold pools, steam room aromas, and optional massage or scrub.
“We did the baths, scrub, and massage. Well worth the cost of the experience. The baths are calming, the scrub refreshing, and the massage well done.”
Granada’s Hammam Palacio Nazari: 7 pools, Turkish bath, hot stone therapy, tea tasting, and optional massage in a calm city-center setting.
“I really enjoyed my time there. Comfortable ambient, nice workers, beautiful pools. I recommend the massage and everything else they offer.”
1.5 hours at Málaga’s Al Ándalus Hammam: kessa scrub, hot stone massage, hot-cold baths, steam room, and mint tea.
“Loved it. Atmosphere amazing but can be spoiled by people talking! Loved the scrub and massage. Steam room and hot and cold pools very relaxing. Floors are a bit slippy and you’re not allowed to wear footwear but the staff wear flip flops! Towels supplied and full range of toiletries in changing rooms. Best to wear bikini as top can be removed easily for massage.”
A Moorish-style hammam and massage at Baños de Elvira in Granada, with tea, fruit, and a calm thermal circuit near the Albaycin.
“I really love my time spent at Baños de Elvira. The place was quiet and inviting to relaxation. The staff are all very welcoming and my massage was perfect after a night travelling. I will warmly recommend this place. Thank you!”
Cordoba Arabian baths at Hammam Al Ándalus: 75 minutes of hot, cold, steam, mint tea, massage, and included towel and toiletries.
“The staff was very professional, helpful and I would go back again tomorrow if I could! The location is subtly located - hardly know it’s there unless you’re looking for it. The baths are quite amazing and all easily accessible. Water and tea stations are located within the bath areas and the steam room smelled of eucalyptus and what a wonderful surprise! Highly recommend will go back again in a heartbeat,”
Jaén in 3 hours: Renaissance Cathedral, Jewish Quarter, Spain’s best-preserved Arab Baths, plus the Lizard legend and La Magdalena.
