The cocooning spa of this boutique hotel houses a flotarium under large stone vaults, which can be completely privatized.
In this pool, which can accommodate up to three people, the water heated to 35° is almost as concentrated in Epsom salt as the Dead Sea, creating the same feeling of relaxing weightlessness.
Tensions are released, muscle and joint pains subside.
Ideal for stressed city dwellers or travellers, this magnesium-rich bath conditions you to enjoy restful sleep and reduces the effects of jet lag.
We end with a trip to the sauna, which eliminates toxins after its natural exfoliating action.
