The Hammam al Andalus is the perfect place to end a day exploring Malaga. It is an Arab-style spa in the historic center of the city, read the post and find out how to book and live the experience.
Hammam Al Andalus di Malaga, can be reached easily on foot through narrow alleys that lead to a square. From the entrance it is difficult to get a precise idea of the place, as the reception is small and from there a flight of stairs leads to the pools and the spa.
Once down, the'atmosphere is for a thousand and one nights. Soft light, the scent of incense and candles on the edge of the hot water tubs. An invitation to let yourself go immediately to relaxation of the 5 senses.
What you will find at the Hammam Al Andalus
On the ground floor there are the swimming pools, whose temperatures vary from very hot to lukewarm, ending with the invigorating cold water pool. It would be preferable to do them in this order. Then there are the turkish bath and hot stones to lay down on.
Upstairs you can relax for a while on the poufs while sipping Mint tea in perfect Arabic style. Then there is the massage room, where you can indulge in a relaxing treatment with the aroma you like best. What I found very pleasant is that even the massage room is practically in dim light and allows you to totally relax.
To purify the skin and eliminate toxins, you can also choose to do the scrub, or the traditional Kessa, on hot stone with a scented red grape soap.
