The spa at Gran Hotel Miramar in Málaga is one of the largest and most comprehensively equipped hotel spas in Andalusia, set within the landmark 1926 palace-hotel on the Paseo de Reding overlooking Málaga Bay. The 1,500-square-metre facility was fully refurbished during the hotel's restoration and offers a thermal circuit encompassing an indoor heated pool, an Arab hammam with dry and wet steam rooms, a sauna, an ice fountain, a Vichy shower room, and a flotation pool. The rooftop terrace pool with unobstructed Mediterranean views across the bay is among the most dramatic spa settings in the region. Treatment rooms carry a comprehensive menu spanning deep-tissue massage, hot stone therapy, facial treatments, body wraps, and Ayurvedic-influenced rituals. Premium product lines are used throughout, and therapists are trained to international standards. Day passes open the full thermal circuit to non-hotel guests from approximately €60, making the spa accessible without an overnight stay. Málaga's warm climate means the rooftop terrace pool is usable for much of the year, while the hammam and steam rooms provide a year-round indoor experience. The hotel is a member of Leading Hotels of the World, and service standards throughout the spa reflect that positioning. Reservations are required for treatment rooms and strongly advisable for day passes, particularly on weekends and during summer. The property is located ten minutes' walk from Málaga's historic centre and is accessible by taxi from the María Zambrano railway station.
