The Thalassio Medical SPA, the flagship wellness experience on the Riviera Ponente, is a 1500m2 medical spa where the powers of the sea and those imparted by the expert hands of therapists take center stage.
Inside, immersed in an artistic journey through works by Marcello Ballardini, Sergio Giusto, and Edoardo Krumm, you can experience the Thalassotherapy wellness program. At the Thalassio Medical SPA, saltwater from the Ligurian Sea is used in a variety of experiences, from the 34° heated pool to the Kneipp path and tratment rooms with state of the art equipment.
Thalassotherapy is a particular form of therapy based on the healing properties of the sea ad all its products (sand, algae, and mud). The term ”thalassotherapy” derives from the Greek ”thalassa” (sea) and “thérapeia” (treatment) and was first used in the 19th century in Brittany. However, it is believed that the potential healing properties attributed to the sea and its marine climate have been know since ancient times, even by. the Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians.

Thalassio SPA Night Experience
It’s the friday evening appointment with the waters of the Ligurian Sea and the Aufguss Rituals
The Aufguss is a wellness ritual followed by a scrub prepared with salt, essences, cane sugar or even ice cream and seasonal fruit.
The treatment involves pouring water or ice mixed with aromatic or balsamic essences onto hot stones, the powerful jet of hot steam is then directed toward the sauna guests with towel movements, as if dancing. The wellness ritual typically involves three cycles of pouring the water and than ventilating it, during which the guests remain in silence.
The treatment usually lasts about ten minutes and the sauna temperature remains constant: it is only the stirring steam that makes you feel an increase in temperature.
Always remember that the upper seats are the warmest. In addition to the ritual Aufguss, you can enjoy soothing sound baths and Tibetan singing bowls. And to make the night even more captivating, our aperitif will be served directly on the sea-views terrace.
