Make an appointment in a world where your well-being is part
of the agenda, every day!.
Stop neglecting your well-being: treat
yourself to a truly rejuvenating experience
and choose Brittany for your sea water
therapy holiday! After all, our region has
pioneered this practice, which links the
sea with body care, in France.
Today, our
13 specialised centres are dedicated to
your health and well-being. The choices
are vast and offer outstanding quality!
What is sea water
therapy?
From the English Channel to the Atlantic
Ocean, via the Iroise Sea, tune in to your
body and take an invigorating seaside
holiday. Take advantage of the benefits of
a marine environment, with close medical
supervision.
Seawater, the key ingredient
of all sea water therapy treatments,
is an element rich in mineral
salts and trace elements and
boasts antibacterial and
antibiotic qualities.
When heated, it
relaxes muscles
and improves
joint mobility.
Collected far
from the shore at a significant depth, it
is used in jets, showers and baths. For
an average recommended stay of 7 to
12 days, you will do nothing but enjoy
the treatments administered by trained
physiotherapists and hydrotherapists.
Between treatment
and relaxation
Imagine sea water bubbling at 37°C and
a world of both relaxing and invigorating
treatment. Hydrotherapy in whirlpool
baths, underwater showers… Algotherapy
in seaweed baths with remineralising
effects, hot mud to relieve rheumatism…
Physiotherapy in a sea water pool,
massages to help release toxins which have
accumulated over the course of an all too
stressful life…
But also shiatsu massages,
steam baths, pressure therapy, saunas,
sophrology… Our sea water therapy
institutes know how to combine active
rest and beauty, fitness and relaxation.
Specialised
programmes!
In each centre, doctors and specialised
personnel will help you build an individual
treatment programme. Have you been
dreaming of a long break, where you can
finally be taken care of?
Would you like
to spend your pregnancy or beginnings
as a new mother in the best conditions?
Are those extra pounds bothering you?
Are you trying to give up smoking?
Tone
and treat your body and mind, rediscover
the benefits of proper sleep… sea water
therapy breaks serve many purposes.
It
is precisely for this reason that from St.
Malo to Bénodet, Belle-Ile to Quiberon,
Carnac to Dinard, Pornichet to Port-
Crouesty, Brittany’s sea water therapy
centres offer holiday packages adapted to
your needs and wishes, in an enchanting,
seaside environment.
Whether you choose
to stay in the establishment itself or prefer
to lodge somewhere nearby, the quality
of care is the same. So don’t hesitate any
longer: the time has come to take this
opportunity and leave the demands of the
daily world behind.
The spa:
luxurious, calm, pleasurable…
the perfect place to recharge your batteries!
Who hasn’t dreamed of having a little time for
themselves?
A special moment put aside to listen to your
body. Imagine a dream world whose sole purpose is to accompany
you during this deep, harmonious experience…
Imagine a team of specialists giving you all
of their attention… Welcome to the world of the Spa.
While spas have existed for a long time
in the United States, they have only
recently emerged in France. So, what
are these institutes? They are places
where luxurious surroundings match
the authenticity of a process entirely
dedicated to your well-being.
 The word’s
origins continue to be debated – it is said
to derive from Sanitas Per Acqua, or
“health by water” in Latin. Its benefits,
however, are indisputable!
The process is
more intimate, more personalised and also
more luxurious than sea water therapy:
there are no sea water jets or aqua gym, or
even physiotherapy programmes.
With all
your senses awakened, prepare yourself
for a unique experience of rare pleasure.
Here, more than anywhere else, body and
mind join in soothing harmony. Abandon
yourself to the benefits of essential oils,
the softness of filtered lighting and the
fragrance of scented candles…
What
better way to take a break from the furious
pace of city life! Spas can also help you
revive a healthy lifestyle, slim and learn
to relax and handle stress better. A team
of specialists are on hand no matter what programme chosen or goal pursued.
They
will lavish you with personalised care,
using high quality products.
In Brittany,
the spa naturally has a close relationship
with the sea.
In Rochevilaine, for example,
a massage on a heated Phoenician table
with lavender oils and rosemary awaits
you, in a refined, Moorish setting located
at the far edge of a rocky headland in
Morbihan.
Or perhaps you would prefer
to stay at the Agapa hotel, on the Pink
Granite Coast, or at the King Arthur hotel,
located at the edge of Broceliande forest,
shrouded in Celtic legends.
