Relaxation and fitness Andalusia

This emblematic balneario (with Qualidad's Q certificate), which releases five different waters (for treatment or to drink for their virtues) and whose origins date back to 1765, enjoyed its moment of glory during its development in the 1930s, when Federico García Lorca visited it. Long oriented mainly towards medical treatments such as arthrosis, kidney failure, digestive, circulatory or respiratory problems, it has now diversified its offer to address a clientele concerned with well-being and beauty. This has resulted in a range of spa formulas and aesthetic treatments, relaxing or revitalizing. Like the flotarium sessions or the oriental garden, a summer program in the heart of nature with a thermal bath, cascade shower and massage. Arab-Roman baths complete the facilities. And it is also a four-star hotel with 122 rooms. With a large coffee lounge, solarium and tennis court. In season, this balneario welcomes nearly 500 people per day, so it is advisable to book if you wish to follow a treatment.

Housed in a building with subtle Nasrid decoration, it captures the very essence of Arab bathing: cold, temperate, hot or steam rooms. Under a voluminous vaulted ceiling, the central pool is the icing on the cake, but the other rooms and outbuildings have also been well showcased. On the program: traditional baths, massages with essential oils and various treatments. Each session lasts around 1h30, with a further 20 minutes in the hammam. Relaxation for body and mind.

There's nothing like a relaxing bath in a pleasant Moorish atmosphere (decoration, music...) to unwind after a walk in the hills above Granada. The Hammam Al Ándalus Granada is located in a ^13th-century house in the heart of Granada. This hammam is inspired by traditional Arab baths. The geometry of its finely crafted mosaics, arches, plinths and columns transports visitors to the splendor of ancient Al Andalus. The hammam contains four water rooms at different temperatures: a temperate one(tepidarium) at 36°C, two hot ones(caldarium) where the water starts at 40°C and a cold one(frigidarium) at 15°C. The tour continues in a steam room (Turkish bath) and a rest room where you can enjoy a complimentary mint tea. A unique ambience where the adventure ends with a relaxing aromatherapy massage (possible with a horsehair glove). These mixed Arab baths (with no innuendo!), for which the Al Ándalus group is renowned, have expanded and branches have been opened in other Spanish cities (Cordoba, Madrid and Málaga).

These recently opened Arab baths can be discovered by wandering through the narrow streets of La Judería, close to the Faculty of Arts. The attentive staff will invite you to take part in a thermal course consisting of a lukewarm bath, a cold bath and a hot bath. Why not continue with the Epsom salt floatation pool, naturally rich in magnesium? Not only does it allow you to float, it also has great therapeutic virtues. A hammam and a range of massages at very reasonable prices are also available. A superb experience, all the more so as the vast and splendid facilities are of truly high quality and, a rare feature, the thermal course is not limited in time, the owners ensuring, as far as possible, a small flow of visitors to best appreciate the baths. Upstairs, a charming little hotel offers seven comfortable rooms. An address not to be missed if you want to unwind...

Just a stone's throw from the Mezquita (mosque), this Arab bath concept is pure excellence. As soon as you're in the vicinity, you'll be guided by the scent that fills the street. After changing and showering in the historic patio, you can relax or revitalize in one of four baths (cold, warm and hot) and a hammam. The large central room, with its vast pool, arches and intimate lighting, is simply superb, and is where treatments and massages are performed. Yes, most packages include massages with essential oils (hibiscus, rosemary, orange blossom...), and overall prices remain quite reasonable. The overall ritual-like modus operandi and the choice of oriental background music are also a great success. Don't leave Cordoba without this regenerating session.

To unwind after a stroll around the Alcazaba and the castle, there's nothing like a relaxing bath in a pleasant Moorish atmosphere. As in Jerez, Seville, Cordoba, Almeria and Granada, Arab baths with traditional massages are also available in Málaga! An oasis of tranquility and intimacy in the heart of the city center, with a magnificent space offering a variety of therapies and massages, from Turkish to Swedish (relaxing or sporty). You can also enjoy the magnificent view from the terrace with a cup of tea or a glass of cava!

These spa facilities complement the relaxation and beauty in the heart of Granada. The modern care area includes a thematic swimming pool with massage facilities, sensitive spaces, steam baths or essential oils showers. If this is not enough, this balneario offers methods for skin like chocothérapie (body coated with chocolate and massage), vinothérapie (same principle, but with wine).

Who wouldn't want to relax after visiting the monuments of Jerez? And what's more, opposite the cathedral and in the sumptuous setting of a seigneurial residence whose general structure has not been altered. Since 2005, Virginia and David's inspired team has been offering, thanks to the power of water, chocolate... or steam treatment, different treatments in these very successful Arabic baths where you can move happily from one bath to another, at different temperatures, to feel high for the rest of the day.... After the thermal shocks on a Zen musical background, the small mint tea is salutary.

The thermal establishment is located in a residential area on the site of the ancient Roman baths of the th century. , refurbished by the Arabs. Possibility of bath and care in this ancient place loaded with history.

Useless to be placed in Parador to profit from its spa but to say as much that it would be well a shame to deprive itself some at the time of a passage to Cadiz. Installed on the second floor of the building, vis-a-vis the Atlantic and with the pools of the hotel, therefore within an exceptional setting, he proposes a whole series of treatments and of massages for the body and the face, such as coating in algae or chocolate or treatments of exfoliation to Phoenician gold. You do not wait in this last case to be covered of gold, it acts quite simply of coarse salt but that does not remain less extremely pleasant about it and that will be followed of a drink also releasing, of your choice. Le must of the place: the hydrothermal tour which envisages in particular good dips in the pool. To reserve well in advance if you come the summer and via the banquet of Parador.

After these moments of relaxation, you can extend the visit by joining the delicious tetería, which regularly offers concerts and entertainment, judiciously programmed by Rosa, the owner of the place.

This hammam has been designed to be totally relaxed. A cold drink is served as soon as you arrive and you can choose between different formulas and enjoy a totally private space.
