There is nowhere better to sit and relax in the heat of the day than here, just a stone's throw away from the busy Palma centre it is a little piece of perfection. A small garden full of refreshing green plants and really old and interesting architecture. Excellent value for money. More

Entering the site you meet on your right a very nice garden where you can relax. On the left there are two ancient rooms, used in the past by a rich arabian family, for thermal treatments. There's a Calidarium and a Tepidarium, where you can watch a video in different languages to know more about that. More

We picked up the sign for the baths when we were randomly walking around Palma. It was good to see the original structure of an often much forgotten period of the regions history. Small in size the garden is lovely. More

I was hoping from more from this venue. While its pleasant to visit and not too expensive (2 euros per person as at April 2012) there was little left of the Baths. The walled garden was very peacful though and an nice way to spend an hour. Don't plan a whole day around the visit though. More

Tiny but ancient - is probably a lovely cool spot in the Summer. Good news - it has a toilet! More

There is not a lot to see here, but that doesn't mean it's not worth a visit. The bath area is small but well-preserved and is all that's left of the Arab occupation of Mallorca. The outside gardens are lovely and tranquil. More

Follow the signs in the old town and they will lead you to the Arab Baths - it only takes 5 minutes to walk around, but it's worth it. One of the oldest places in Palma, it's like a walled garden bursting with colour. The history is very interesting too More

Although small, it is worth paying the small fee to visit. There is a short video presentation describing what went on in the baths. Then you go through into the bath area with it's vaulted ceiling and arches. The small gardens are tranquil, and although you'll probably only spend 30 minutes there absolute tops (if you sit down and enjoy... More
