I'm an artist and I spent over an hour in this ancient and tranquil place. I could feel the history in the air. The garden area is beautifully planted, with seating and tables to relax and take in the atmosphere. The hot baths room is astonishing and there was information in three languages in each of the three rooms. It's easy to miss the entrance, in fact, I walked past it the first time but I should have looked left where the very clear signage is, rather than staring up at the ancient surrounding wall! Absolutely worth the 3.50 Euros (cash only).

I read about these small ancient Arab baths built on former Roman baths in Palma de Mallorca. So on a recent port visit we set out to try and find them. Thanks to Google Maps this wasn't too difficult, and we enjoyed wandering through Palma's back streets and small squares on the way to and from the baths. This took us about 10-15 mins away from Palma's main tourist area which we enjoyed. The entrance was a few Euro and the baths were more interesting than expected. They are set in a rose garden inside an old square stone building. It provided good photo opportunities inside as well as an introductory video in Spanish, German and English. They're something a little different and well worth the effort to find the baths.

Tucked away down a side street in the historic city centre the Arab Baths of Palma de Mallorca are one of the most emblematic monuments on the island, apart from the few examples of Islamic architecture preserved in Palma. The baths date back to the eleventh century, allowing for only the partial conservation of its rooms and architectural elements. According to experts, the preserved remains were possibly part of the palace of a Muslim nobleman. The baths have been beautifully preserved and there is an informative video and plenty of information providing some history of the baths. The surrounding gardens are also beautiful and very tranquil with large orange and lemon trees providing some respite from the sun. The €3.50pp entrance fee makes this a worthwhile visit.

I enjoyed seeing these ancient baths, there were only several rooms but they had more information on a video playing in a loop. The gardens outside are beautifully maintained. Worth a quick visit and the entry fee is very low.
