Thalassotherapy is based on the practical application of beneficial minerals contained in the sea. In the olden days these minerals were held to be extremely important for health and beauty. The Mediterranean Sea has a high salt content and is therefore particularly suited to the practice of thalassotherapy and Sardinia with its unique pure crystal clear waters is the ideal place for these treatments.

Using the goodness in the various particles contained in marine waters, thalassotherapy is beneficial for the body and the mind and is a good treatment for reducing stress due to its toning and energising effect. The treatments are enriched by the use of essential oils contained in the aromatic plants that grow in Sardinia.
