Arabian Baths and Massage in Madrid: Hammam Al Ándalus

Three pools, one steam room, and the oils that make you float

Hammam Al Ándalus is an Arabian baths experience in Madrid where you spend 90 minutes moving through thermal plunge pools and a steam room, then receive a 15-minute massage with essential oils in the Aroma Corner. The session includes unlimited mint tea, shower gel, shampoo, towel and hairdryer. Children from age 5 are welcome, and you bring your own bathing suit.

The Experience

What's the actual rhythm of a hammam visit? You arrive, shower, then move through the Water Journey — the operator's name for the sequence of three thermal pools at different temperatures and the steam room, all lit by candles and decorated in Arabian style. The pools let you soak and adjust to the heat at your own pace. Mint tea and water are unlimited, so you can sit in the candle-lit walkways between pools without leaving the space. This is not a tour with a guide or a schedule; it is a bath house where you choose how long to spend in each pool.

After the pools, you head to the Aroma Corner for a 15-minute massage. The therapist uses essential oils that match the hammam's scent — the operator calls it "the aroma of the hammam" — and the oils are meant to revive your skin and make the whole experience feel like floating. You get shower gel, shampoo and a comb before you go in, and a towel and hairdryer after. The massage is the only structured moment; everything else moves at the pace you set.

The whole session runs 90 minutes. Public transportation stops nearby, so you do not need a car to get there. You must bring your own bathing suit. The local supplier will confirm your exact start time once you book — there is no fixed departure like a tour would have.
