01 / Spa areas
A swim after a walk, a warm break, a few moments of rest: the spa naturally finds its place in your day, without imposing a program on you.
Extend your time in the water with a break in the jacuzzi, sauna or hammam. These spaces complement the two swimming pools and allow you to vary the pleasures of the spa. Take the time to rest between sessions, at your own pace and in accordance with the instructions for use.
Inside, enjoy warm water whatever the season, with light from the garden. On warmer days, discover the outdoor pool and the pleasure of lingering on the terrace.
The fitness room offers space for physical activity alongside the relaxation areas. For guided yoga, aquagym or personal training, explore the menu and confirm an appointment with the team.
