Wellness & Spas Granada

There is a strong link between Granada and wellness, dating from many centuries ago when Granada was ruled by the Muslims. This is why we can still find Hammams or Arab Baths in Granada. Hammams derive from the Roman thermae, that were facilities for bathing but also centres for socialising and leisure.

Hammans in Granada consist of several pools, each one with a different temperature, where you can enjoy the silence and the sound of the water. They also offer other services, including relaxing massages and skin cleansing that should be booked in advance to avoid disappointments. Tickets are sold by time slots, and there is a strict policy with regards to the maximum number of people using the facilities at any time of the day.

Note the difference between a hammam, which has been already explained, with a spa. Spas are a modern concept with different pools and saunas, and they differ from the mysticism of a hammam. There is a third concept that you should be aware of when visiting Granada: if you are looking for a spa using hot springs (or mineral springs), you should look for a “Balneario”, not just a spa.

Please note that unless specifically stated, pools located within all these premises are not for swimming, but to enjoy the benefits of water. Also, note that the use of a swimming costume or a bathing costume is compulsory in all rooms of the facilities. The use of all these facilities is unisex; there are no slots or pools for men or women only. However, changing rooms are separated for male and female customers. All the previous statements apply to both Granada and Spain in general.

Booking a wellness activity is a fantastic option for your trip to Granada. It is not just a great option for relaxing after (or before!) a busy day, but they are also part of the local culture of Granada. So, why not indulge yourself  and discover the best wellness & spas in Granada?
