Granada’s hammams carry forward the water traditions of Al-Andalus with warm stone, candlelight and pools that move from warm to hot to cold. These are intimate, quiet spaces designed for deep relaxation, not large modern spas. Sessions are timed to keep the atmosphere calm, and you always move at your own pace through steam rooms, thermal pools and tea lounges.

If you want to balance the steep lanes of Albaicín, the climbs around Sacromonte and long hours inside the Alhambra with real rest, Granada’s hammams offer the perfect reset. You can choose a simple ritual that focuses on the water circuit or extend your visit with exfoliation and massages. Our three experiences at Hammam Al Ándalus cover everything from short relaxing massages to full renewal rituals.

Arrival, check in and slowdown

You arrive 10 to 15 minutes before your session, check in at reception and get your locker key. Staff explain the hammam circuit, what is included in your ritual and how long you can stay inside. Phones go into the locker. From here on, everything is quieter and slower.

Seven pools at different temperatures

Inside the**** Hammams in Granada, you move between seven pools with different temperatures. Warm pools ease you in, hot pools relax your muscles and a cooler pool wakes up your circulation. You decide the order and pace while your body adjusts to the rhythm.

Steam, hot stone and deep breathing

A Turkish bath and hot stone area help you open your pores and loosen stiff legs and shoulders. A few minutes in the steam room with eucalyptus-scented air prepares your body for the next round of hot and cold water.

Massage and exfoliation rituals

If your ritual includes a massage or scrub, a therapist calls you from the relaxation room. The Hammam Ritual 30 pairs a kessa glove exfoliation with a massage, while Medina Ritual 15 and 45 focus on essential oil massages that ease tension from walking and traveling.

Tea, silence and a slow finish

Between pools and treatments you rest in a candlelit lounge, sip oriental-style tea and let your heart rate come down. At the end, you shower, get dressed and step back into Granada feeling lighter, calmer and warmer than when you entered.

What every tired traveler does after the Alhambra

You can see the Alhambra from every angle, but your body feels it the most. After climbing towers and walking courtyards, Granada hammams give you a way to reset. A 90 to 105 minute ritual in warm stone rooms, with scented steam and quiet water, is often the most memorable booking of the trip.

Move through hot pools or steam

Shift into a hotter pool or the Turkish bath. Spend a few minutes at a time. The heat opens your pores and softens your muscles so the next stages feel even better.

Take a cold dip

When you feel ready, move to the cold pool. The first contact feels sharp, then energising. You can repeat this hot and cold contrast as many times as your session allows.

Best time to visit Hammams in Granada

Visitors experiencing a Turkish hammam bath in Istanbul, with historical architecture.
  • If you want the quietest experience: Late morning and early afternoon sessions are usually the calmest. Fewer guests book these slots, which makes them ideal if you value space and silence over evening atmosphere.
  • If you want a post sightseeing ritual: Early evening is perfect if you plan to visit the Alhambra or Albaicín during the day. You return to the city, have a light snack and then let the hammam handle everything your legs, feet and shoulders have been carrying.
  • By season: cooler months: From autumn to early spring, hot pools and steam rooms feel especially comforting after chilly evenings. If you are sensitive to cold, evenings in these months feel like stepping into a warm cocoon.
  • By season: warmer months: In spring and summer, the contrast between warm water, steam and the cool pool helps your body cope with heat. Afternoon or evening sessions work well when the sun has been strong all day.

Frequently asked questions about Granada Hammam tickets

What is included in your Granada Hammam tickets ?

Granada hammam tickets give you timed access to an Andalusian-style thermal circuit, featuring hot, warm, and cold pools, a eucalyptus steam room, and a quiet relaxation lounge with mint tea. Depending on the ticket you choose, your Granada hammam experience may also include a 15-minute massage, a 30-minute massage, or a combined exfoliation and massage ritual. Towels, lockers, showers, and changing rooms are included with every session.

How long can I stay inside a Hammam in Granada?

A standard Granada hammam session at Palacio Nazarí lasts around 90 minutes for the water circuit. If your ticket includes a massage or exfoliation, the treatment takes place within the same timed session. Longer treatments cannot be added on-site, so it’s important to choose the right ritual duration when booking your Granada hammam ticket.

Do I need to book Granada Hammam tickets in advance?

Yes. Granada hammams operate with limited daily capacity. Evening sessions, weekends, and post-Alhambra time slots sell out quickly. Booking your Granada hammam tickets a few days in advance is strongly recommended, especially if you want a massage or scrub included.

What should I bring for my Granada Hammam experience?

For your Granada hammam visit, you only need to bring a swimsuit. Towels, lockers, showers, and basic toiletries are provided. Flip-flops are optional but useful for moving between areas. Phones and cameras are not allowed inside the hammam to preserve the quiet, relaxed atmosphere.

Are Granada Hammam sessions mixed-gender?

Yes. Granada hammam sessions are mixed-gender, with all guests wearing swimsuits at all times. Changing rooms are separated by gender, while the pool and steam areas are shared in accordance with Andalusian hammam traditions.

Are children allowed at Hammams in Granada?

Granada hammams typically have a minimum age requirement of around 12 to 14 years, depending on the specific session. Younger children are not permitted due to high temperatures, steam rooms, and the quiet nature of the experience. Always check your ticket details for the exact age policy before booking.

Is Granada Hammam safe for pregnant guests?

Pregnant guests can visit a Granada hammam, but caution is advised. Expectant mothers should avoid hot pools and steam rooms, particularly during the first trimester. It’s best to consult your doctor before booking. On arrival, the hammam staff can help guide you toward safer temperature options.
