Thalasso & Spa en Occitanie
Piscine de L'Ile de la Lagune
Between Camargue and Côte Vermeille, the sea waters and the exceptional Mediterranean climate are your best partners for health and fitness. For a few hours, two days or more: choose what suits you best from the 5 thalassotherapy destinations in Occitania.
Surrounded by the vines of the famous Banyuls wines and other exceptional vintages, the Côté Thalasso centre looks out on the Mediterranean Sea. You can choose from a range of options for a complete health treatment or a short stay at the heart of one of the most beautiful coastlines in France, the Côte Vermeille.
Visits to wine cellars, walks in Collioure and a chance to see the Sardane (Catalonian village dance) will all enrich your wellness stay.
Worth noting: the centre of Banyuls-sur-Mer has a wonderful sea-water swimming pool.

Equipment
A good pair of shoes and sunscreen are recommended for hikes leaving from Banyuls-sur-Mer along the magnificent coastal path looking down on the little creeks on the coast.
Between the unspoilt Espiguette beach and the biggest marina in Europe, Thalazur Port-Camargue is a centre for wellness, relaxation and fitness for lovers of preserved nature.
After your health or beauty treatment, your programme can continue on the sand or along the canals of Petite Camargue. Refreshing sea air, flocks of flamingoes and wild horses are part of the extra "treatment" along with the water therapy and seaweed wraps.

Putting at the seaside! With 3 courses designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., the Grande-Motte golf course, close by the Mediterranean, welcomes beginners and experts alike.
On a private peninsula, the l’Île de la Lagune centre in Saint-Cyprien offers a great range of services: world massages (Swedish, Balinese Polynesian, etc.), moments for two, slimming treatments and a series of half-day, 2-day or 6-day health and beauty treatments.
The big Saint-Cyprien beach, its fishing port and seaside setting beside the Albera Massif form a luxury background for a truly relaxing break.

The Massif du Canigó, officially listed as a major site in Occitania and France, is the emblem of the Catalonia region. It can be seen from Saint-Cyprien, where you will be enjoying your well-deserved thalassotherapy break, and rises to 2784 metres. You are an hour's drive away from the foot of this legendary mountain.
As an alternative to an energetic climb up the mountain, you can visit the wonderful Saint-Martin-du-Canigou abbey.
The beach is 9 km long, stretching all the way to Les Flamants Roses, the thalassotherapy centre in Canet-en-Roussillon.
The centre covers 1,200 m2, with three floors providing over 80 treatments to choose from and 10 thalassotherapy programmes. Beauty and health treatments to enjoy on your own, with a loved one or with your family with teenagers. Teenagers have their own specific programme.
For fans of history: the wonderful Cathar castles are only an hour's drive away!

But what is thalassotherapy exactly? It is a treatment combining the benefits of sea water, sea mud, seaweed, sand and the marine climate. You can find all these ingredients for example at Port Camargue in the Gard region, for a long or short stay with a range of packages and the chance to find inner peace, vitality and natural energy…
