In the historic center of Málaga near Medina in Spain, you’ll find Hammam Al Ándalus—Arab-style baths adorned with Moorish-inspired decor. The luxurious baths are the perfect place to unwind and refresh, while soaking in the thermal bath and experiencing relaxing body treatments. Hammam Al Ándalus is an experience for all the senses, from the sounds of Andalusian music to the pleasant floral scents. We caught up with Antonio Rivadeneyra, Hammam Al Ándalus Málaga’s Manager, to learn more about the recently renovated Arabic baths.

Why You’ll Love It: You’ll love the experience that transports you to calm and disconnection, getting you more in touch with yourself. From the time you arrive at reception to the time you leave, you’ll feel welcome with the warmth and hospitality of the Hammam. You’ll also love the detail and care that has been put into every corner: its architecture, color, light, and smell.

Key Features: Hammam Al Ándalus Málaga is a recently renovated monumental place that captures the splendor and tradition of the ancient Arabic baths, characterized by an experience for all the senses. You’ll see beautiful architecture, hear the soft sounds of Andalusian music, smell the flowers, taste our green tea, and through our delicate massage you can feel the sense of touch.

You’ll find five thermal baths at different temperatures that are part of the cleansing and beauty routine. The Hammam also features a steam and a hot stone room and a tea and massage area. All of the architecture is drawn from the great beauty of the Nazarí (the last Moorish dynasty in the Iberian Peninsula of Granada) style, which promotes relaxation of body and mind.

Insider’s Tip: It’s recommended to make a reservation in advance, as well as to arrive at reception about 20 minutes before your treatments. This will give you time to enjoy the Hammam experience completely.

Spa Snacks: Guests enjoy the tea corner.
