Hammam Al Ándalus Madrid — Andalusian Arab Baths near Plaza Mayor

About This Activity

Hammam Al Ándalus Madrid is located near Plaza Mayor, tucked into a centuries-old building that now houses marble pools, vaulted ceilings, and star-cut lanterns recreating the 10th-century Andalusian bath tradition. The 90-minute thermal circuit moves through warm (36°C), hot (40°C), and cold (16°C) pools along with an aromatic steam room — an experience the Moors refined across eight centuries of presence in Iberia. The basic circuit runs around €35-38; the kessa exfoliation scrub (15 min) or a relaxation massage adds €20-30. Madrid's version of the hammam feels particularly evocative given the city's distance from Andalusia: a reminder that Moorish culture permeated the entire peninsula. Pair with a walk through the Austrias neighbourhood's medieval lanes before or after. Book online — the experience has become one of Madrid's most popular wellness activities and slots fill up, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Seasonal note: Year-round. Book at least a week ahead; Friday and Saturday evenings fill first.
