Diet Nutrition
We suggest a consultation with
our dietician. After completing an in-depth questionnaire in order to
determine your dietary habits, as well as undergoing a body fat count,
our nutrition specialist will provide you with a personalised programme
containing balanced meals that are adapted to your taste and lifestyle.
And in the cozy environment of our Restaurant our chef will invite
you to discover the secrets of a healthy, delicious and light cuisine.
The menu consists of cereals, fruit, fresh local products, aromatic
herbs and spices (garlic, basil,mint, thyme, sage, etc.), meat twice a
week and fish, and uses olive oil as the main source of fat.
You will need nothing more to lower your «bad» cholesterol rate and to
effectively protect yourself against cardio-vascular diseases. A
delicious and easy diet, that easily fits into your lifestyle all year
round.

THALASSOTHERAPY:
The Royal Way to Beauty Health and Relaxation :
The Greek word for sea is "thalassa". Hippocrates (460- 370 BC),
the famous physician of Greek antiquity, may be considered to be a pioneer of
modern Thalassotherapy. When he observed that the injured hands of fishermen did
not get infected, he deduced that sea water had healing and disinfecting
properties. This medical intuition made him prescribe sea-water applications for
pain relief and healing treatments.
Hippocrates did not know why sea water acted positively on the human
organism. More than 2000 years later, the French biologist René Quinton
scientifically established the similarity of human blood plasma to sea water.
Sea water contains all the main elements and minerals that are needed to ensure
cell growth and can be absorbed by the skin.

The Centre's specialized medical team draws up a personalized program for
each client during the mandatory consultation on arrival. The best long-term
