Care treatments taken from seawater, sand and seaweed in the marine environment and integrated with our complementary treatments will allow you to conserve or regain peak psychophysical balance. Your body will emerge supple and toned, your skin will be radiant, inner peace will be restored and all stresses and toxins will be banished by blending climatic and marine elements.
The originality, curative and preventative powers of these treatments are due to our unique location on an ancient salt route. We're set on a stretch of coast protected by a line of mountains providing natural shelter from northerly winds, maintaining levels of humidity and warmth that are unique in Sardinia. Virtually a subtropical microclimate, the sea temperature here is around two degrees above that in other parts of the island and rainforest-like vegetation thrives.
Integrated Thalassotherapy: a sea of energy: a revolutionary natural technique to promote health and strength
Thalassotherapy is a treatment that uses the combined action of climatic and marine elements (seawater, sand, seaweed). The sea becomes a completely natural source of treatment to restore our bodies’ wellbeing and inner peace. This is the secret of Thalassotherapy, an ancient science born on Mediterranean shores. Today it is built upon by the most advanced scientific research from the incredibly professional team at Thaermae del Forte Village Resort, led by Dr. Angelo Cerina.
The originality, efficacy and curative and preventative powers of the revolutionary Integrated Thalassotherapy treatments are due to the unique location of the Forte Village Resort SPA which stands on the ancient salt route.
Man has been using seawater for therapeutic reasons since ancient times. In 450 BC, Euripides, while being treated by Egyptian doctors, said, 'The sea cures all of man’s illnesses'. In fact, various elements of the sea environment were used empirically for ancient medical applications. Thalassotherapy became a modern science in around 1700 after the observations of an English physician who noticed a clear improvement in his patients’ skin pathologies after a long seaside holiday.
Today, thalassotherapy is one of the most effective, natural, complete methods of rediscovering unity and harmony. It's recognised as an integrative method for rehabilitation, recovery and maintenance of overall wellness in the human body. The head of our medical team, Dr. Angelo Cerina, is considered to be one of the leading international specialists in the sector.
