Hammam Al Ándalus
Calle San Miguel Alta 41, Granada, Andalucia, 18002
A hallmark of Granada’s Moorish tradition is its use of water—fountains, pools, trickling streams, and, of course, its Arab baths. Hammam Al Ándalus, located near the Alhambra, was the first bath to open in Spain, and it remains the premier soaking spot in the city. With several pools of different temperatures and traditional massage treatment, it’s a great way to unwind after walking the steep streets of the Albaicin and feasting on tapas.
The Basics
No trip to Granada would be complete without a soak in a traditional Arab bath. While the city is home to several, the most popular and accessible is the Hammam Al Ándalus, situated at the foot of the Alhambra. Amid flickering candles and Arabian decor, bathers can soak in thermal baths and steam rooms while sipping mint tea, or select a scented oil for an optional massage or exfoliating body scrub. Make a day of it by combining the Arab bath experience with a guided skip-the-line tour of the magnificent UNESCO-listed Alhambra.
