ARABIA BAHTHS. Hamman Al Andalus. Málaga

Relaxation, healing and beauty through water is deeply rooted in the Muslim world. In the year 711, southern Spain, called Hispania by the Romans, was conquered by Islamic peoples from North Africa. For almost eight centuries it became Al-Ándalus. From this period, many influences are kept in today’s Andalusia. One of those influences is the love of water. The hammam (or Turkish bath) is based on water steam, baths and massages as a way of recovering our balance. The new hammams, like the one in Málaga, have become more sophisticated, working with aromas, lights, cosmetics and expanding the purification treatments.

This aquatic wellness centre is not exactly one of the typical spas on the Costa del Sol. It is based on more traditional and millenary principles. However, the foundation on which it works, the benefits of water for body and soul, are the same.

It is very original to take a break from the hustle and bustle in this centre based on Andalusian culture but modernised, and it has been operating for more than 20 years. It is in the heart of the city, so it is easily accessible. If you also fall in love with Málaga, here you can see some of the best properties in the capital of the Costa del Sol.
