Hippocrates, the Greek physician, father of modern medicine said: “The Sea cures the man’s illnesses”. This statement is best evidenced in Thalasotherapy, a treatment that uses all the benefits of the sea, not only the water, to cure the illnesses and to treat aesthetic problems or to relax the body and mind. The thalasotherapy cures are relaxing; they strengthen and revitalize the organism.
The word "thalasotherapy" comes from “thalasa” (in Greek "sea") and “therapy” (treatment). The thalasotherapy treatments were first applied in the ancient Rome, and rediscovered in the 19th century in England. It is a natural therapeutic system using three elements: the seawater (hydrotherapy), the sea air (aero therapy) and the solar radiation (heliotherapy).
In these marine cures, water is used as a thermal source, being gathered at different depths to ensure its purity, and it is applied at temperatures between 10ºC and 40ºC depending on the treatment and its purpose. In many cases they are supplemented with pressure, bubbles or ultrasounds.
The water from the ocean is so beneficial that many physicians recommend their patients to walk by the shore to heal certain illnesses.
Where does the secret of this source of life and beauty lies?
The raw material of Thalasotherapy is the water that comes directly from the sea. It has some special properties, such as the salinity, its movement and its density. All those factors make the water itself a highly usable aesthetic and therapeutic resource. The benefits of Thalasotherapy (seawater baths) to the skin are not only due to the concentration of sodium chloride (salt), but also due to oxygen, nitrogen, carbon gas, iodine, fluoride, copper, iron, zinc, etc.
The skin absorption of all these elements is translated into a series of beneficial effects, such as the improvement of the circulatory system.
The seawater baths constitute a suitable therapy for those people with varicose veins and general circulation problems.
The therapeutic effect of seawater takes place through different ways: by skin contact, by direct contact with the mucous membranes, through the inhalation and by the dynamic action of the waves and tides.
The oceanic air, saturated with suspended micro-drops of seawater, is rich in iodine, ozone and negative ions, having thus antibiotic properties, sedatives for the nervous system and stimulants for the body defenses. The seawater is rich in trace elements, which is perfect to revitalize and to embellish the skin.
So many and such positive properties have propitiated all those specific beauty treatments that conjugate the thalasotherapy with the facial aesthetics, with the reaffirming treatments - wrappings and modeling as the formula to recover the line with the techniques for tired legs- (press therapy) combined with the thalasotherapy.

Traveling is like oxygen for people with a lot of stress; it’s an escape valve that breaks wit the daily routine. A touristic travel, with its adventure and surprise, can produce incredible psychological effects or a positive personal change, according to psychology applied to tourism.
Traveling is discovering new people, exploring new lands; it also means discovering new parts of ourselves. Having into consideration that the psychological function of vacations is to compensate the limitations and lacks in our daily life, it is easy to understand why the health, thermal, thalasotherapy tourism is growing. It is a new concept of tourism and a different role for the most dynamic tourists, demanding touristic products that allow a more active participation. The daily stress of modern life strongly demands the romantic calmness of the sea, the wild splendor of a virgin land and the indescribable peace of the horizon, colored by the sunset. We long for nature. We look for beautiful landscapes, lost paradises and we long for a touch of poetry to soften the rough gearing of daily work.
Traveling is a healthy therapy. We wish to help you discover life in a living, relaxed environment, in direct contact with its inhabitants, to recover the lost roots of so many abandoned people. We want to provide you with distraction and culture, offering new dimensions and possibilities that benefit the psychical balance and enhance the personality.
