Long ago houses had indoor bathrooms, hammams or natural springs not only a place for washing but also the centre of the social life of a community in Azerbaijan. Relaxing collectively in the water – and perhaps getting a healthy rub-down – was the excellent possibility to gossip and do business, not to mention clean up.

The social aspect of bathing has ended in Baku, particularly in the Old Town where communal, single-gender bathing is frequent. Join the new generation of bathrooms – the upmarket Hotel Spa – and you have found yourself a world-class spa destination.

Hamam in Azerbaijan is strictly divided according to the gender: some are for men only, some for women and some for both but on different days. While this isolation rule has been a bit relaxing since the Middle Ages – some male hammams now employ masseurs – the mixed bath is still not fully there.

Here are the Seven most amazing spas in Baku for relaxing and rejuvenation.
