Overview
Hammam Al Ándalus is a luxury Arab baths spa housed in a carefully restored building at the foot of the Albaicín. Modelled on the bathing culture of Al-Andalus, it offers thermal pools, steam rooms, and massages in a candlelit, Moorish-style interior.
Highlights
- Hot, Warm, and Cold Pools: Move between three pools of different temperatures in vaulted, star-lit chambers.
- Massage Options: Aromatherapy, hot stone, and traditional kessa scrub treatments.
- Atmosphere: Hundreds of candles, Moorish arches, and ambient music create a deeply relaxing environment.
History
The spa chain was founded in Granada in 1998, inspired by the city's 11th-century Bañuelo and the broader hammam tradition. The building incorporates archaeologically recovered elements from the Moorish period.
