Recovery and relaxation in autumn

Set a few days aside to take a restful break from your routine and pamper yourself, enjoying the best that nature has to offer during autumn.

Investing in your physical and mental health is essential for your overall well-being. And in Portugal, thermal baths and spas offer the opportunity to relax and enjoy preventative therapies that can help you recharge your batteries and ease day-to-day stress. With treatments that combine thermal waters and the benefits of the sea, the wellness centres throughout the country offer you moments of sheer relaxation as well as revitalisation.

Thalassotherapy: The benefits of seawater
Thalassotherapy, a preventative therapy that uses seawater and other marine elements such as algae and mud, is an ideal option if you are looking for a relaxing and revitalising treatment. Associated with the ocean, thalassotherapy is particularly effective for improving circulation, boosting the immune system and detoxifying the body. Let yourself be cocooned by the deeply restful sensation that these treatments provide, while enjoying the invigorating properties of the sea.

The hotels and spas located along the Portuguese coast are perfect for enjoying thalassotherapy treatments. At Praia Grande, in Sintra, enjoy a saltwater pool directly connected to the ocean, ideal for a rejuvenating experience. At Azenhas do Mar, you can dive into natural pools overlooking the Atlantic, where the power of the sea is harnessed for relaxing and therapeutic treatments. Excellent thalassotherapy treatments are available on the Estoril Coast, combining the luxury and comfort of a spa with the benefits of the Atlantic waters. Enjoy a relaxing experience with a magnificent view of the ocean and a unique and peaceful setting for your thalassotherapy treatments.

In Funchal, Madeira, you can enjoy the benefits of thalassotherapy while contemplating panoramic views of the sea, in an archipelago where the ocean and nature come together to provide moments of rest and renewal.
