The haven of the seawater (thalassotherapy) spa allows guests to relax and unwind and for the more energetic we are delighted to propose a host of activities including beach walks, surfing, whale watching and horse riding.
The word thalassotherapy is derived from the Greek "Thalassos" meaning sea and is defined as the medical use of seawater. Back as far as the 18 th century it was believed that all association with seawater, through immersion and consumption would assist in the cleansing and regeneration of the body.
The use of the elements of the sea creates a calming and sedative effect as a result of the rich algae and oligo-elements they contain.
The medical benefits of thalassotherapy are numerous. Seawater treatments can be useful for slimming, in combatting headaches, to promote relaxation and aid convalescence.
The Island Spa offers a wide range of treatments from seawater therapies to more traditional massage, facials and body rituals. A full list of all the treatments are available on our website.
