What you'll do

Purifying, relaxing, and rejuvenating spa experiences are a central part of Spain's history, and you can partake in this traditional ritual but with a modern twist. You'll enjoy a relaxing day at the Aire Ancient Baths, a luxurious spa that offers traditional bathing techniques from Roman, Greek, and Ottoman cultures. To get the most out of your time at the spa and to truly embrace these cultural traditions, you'll receive a fully inclusive package.

The Ultimate Blossom package at Aire Ancient Baths starts with a water circuit and sensory experience. You'll soak in several pools of various temperatures—one made for floating—and end the course in the aromatherapy room. Next, relax on the warm marble beds as an attendant pours warm drops of water on your body.

The next part of the experience includes a floral exfoliation using Himalayan pink salt and kukui oil, followed by a jasmine and lotus flower mist. Then, enjoy a body mask made with white clay and Hindu flowers to hydrate and refresh your skin. As you wait for the mask to do its magic, an attendant will give you a soothing and relaxing head massage. End your experience by rinsing and relaxing with a glass of cava or fresh-squeezed juice.

ARIA administers your experience very efficiently. The greeter and helper makes what could be an otherwise awkward experience into a comfortable one. This was a highlight of our visit to Spain. Everything was top shelf treatment, including the massage and baths. Read more

Super cool experience! The massages were really good and the facilities were wonderful. We could have booked a longer massage or had more time here to relax, 90 minutes didn't seem enough to enjoy. Read more

Tips for future travelers

It's a little hard to find, give yourself extra time. The facilities are great, can shower and get ready there for the rest of your night. We did our tour around 5 which was good, I think if I did in the morning I would be so relaxed I'd need a nap.

Tips for future travelers

Pack a swimsuit! We went later at night, which was the best time in our opinion as we felt so relaxed and refreshed afterwards and got the best sleep ever that night. I would recommend going at a similar time.
