Banos Arabes, Palma de Mallorca

Moorish (Berber/Arab) Islamic historic Bath House and Garden. Quiet beautiful tranquil gardens. Worth a visit. Enjoyed our visit. HOWEVER while waiting to enter the grounds in the outside street we had an attempted pick pocket theft. Just be careful...

The Arab Baths are an attraction well worth visiting in Palma. It took us quite a while to walk there, but we were glad we made the effort. I loved the textures and colours of the old walls with their archways and the water pitchers on display. The gardens are really beautiful, and a wonderful place to rest awhile before returning to the city centre.

People are not friendly, we got a check and send away without a reason. Probably our table was reserved? I feel like she could tell us instead of waving away. The fruit drink was not cold, coffee was good.

Situated a few minutes walk from the Cathedral, away from the usual tourist routes, Arab Baths are fairly unpopular yet one of the most authentic and beautiful spots in Palma. With lots of history and Mediterranean vibe Banys Arab are real oases right off the old town alleys perfect for an afternoon stopover. For 3 €you get to sit down, take a deep fresh breath and enjoy the breathtaking scenery.

There is a nice little indoor garden here, the baths are cool but it is by no means a must see. If you arr close, curios and have 3€ to spare then git it a try. Otherwise you won't be missing much if you don't visit this place.
