Thalassotherapy in Sardinia

Video Tour

Detox, regenerate, enhance

Acquaforte Thalasso Spa thalassotherapy is based on the revolutionary principle of sea water at different temperatures and different saline densities.

Set in a wonderful garden, the thalassotherapy course consists of six pure Sardinian seawater pools, with water drawn from just over a hundred meters from the shoreline at a depth of ten meters.

The first three pools – at a high temperature and with a high saline concentration – have an extraordinary detox effect. The final three – with a lower saline concentration and at lower temperatures – round off the regenerating program, stabilizing the exchanges between the body and the mineral salts.

Treatments

1st

sea oil or
brine pool

Temperature: 37°-38°

Draining, muscle-relaxing and energizing action

The very high concentration of magnesium salt allows the body to float, performing a draining and anti-inflammatory action and delightfully relaxing the muscles. The high temperature of the water has a vasodilatory effect, and when combined with the high saline density, it increases metabolic exchanges by osmosis, thereby aiding the draining and detox effect.

In this pool, thalassotherapy and phytotherapy join forces: sea oil is mixed with refreshing mint and aloe vera, appreciated for centuries for its therapeutic properties for the skin. The combination of phytotherapeutic elements and magnesium salt provides extraordinary results in terms of skin pathologies (psoriasis). The first and second pools also have a stimulating and gratifying effect, thanks to the production of endorphins.
