Hammam Al Ándalus Baths

Warm marble, cold plunges and steam, ninety minutes of it, then mint tea to close: a bathhouse ritual Granada practised long before anyone wrote tour descriptions. Massage add-ons are chosen at booking. From $97.55, rated 4.4 across 704 reviews.

Overview

Hammam Al Ándalus sits on Calle Santa Ana in the heart of Granada's historical Old Town, and this booking covers a 1 hour 30 minute session inside its candle-lit Arabian baths. The visit centres on the thermal pools, with warm, hot and cold baths plus a steam room with scented aromas. Towels, shower gel, shampoo and a comb are provided, and mint tea and water are served throughout.

A relaxation massage is built into the 1.5-hour session, either 15 or 30 minutes depending on the option chosen, and an exfoliating body scrub can be added as an upgrade. One traveller describes the interior as having a Moroccan feel, and another notes the decoration echoes the Alhambra. The experience ends back at the meeting point.

It suits couples wanting a quiet break between sights, and reviewers often say it works well at the end of a long day of walking. Note the limits: children under 5 are not allowed, the venue is not wheelchair accessible, and each booking covers a maximum of 2 travellers.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points shape the visit, from what to pack to how the timing works.

• Bring a swimsuit. You must bring your own bathing suit; the listing states this clearly. One reviewer reported being lent new swimwear after forgetting theirs, but that should not be counted on.
• Pace and timing. The session lasts 1 hour 30 minutes, with the massage folded into that window. One reviewer described waiting for a massage at a busy time and soaking in the pools meanwhile, and another couple felt the visit was a bit rushed.
• Group feel. The venue admits multiple guests at once and some reviewers found the baths crowded at peak times. One late-evening visitor reported only a few couples present, so quieter slots exist if the booking page offers them.
• Tea and drinks. Mint tea and water are included. Other food and drinks are not, so eat beforehand if needed.
• Massage pressure. Reviewers differ on the massage: many praise it highly, while one couple found it very light for the pressure they selected. Another reviewer called the massage and exfoliation rub worthy additions.
• After the baths. Shower supplies, a comb and hair-drying facilities are provided, according to one reviewer, so you can leave presentable. A bag for wet swimwear was also mentioned.

Common issues. The venue is not wheelchair accessible and children under 5 are not allowed, and it is not recommended for pregnant travellers or anyone with serious heart conditions. Several reviewers found the baths busy at times, and one couple felt the visit was a bit rushed with a lighter massage than expected. You must contact the local supplier after booking to confirm the exact start time of your slot. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the start time are not refunded.
