• Immersion baths and air-bubble hydromassage baths
• Needle, Scottish, circular and underwater showers
• Vichy massage shower and water-intake cure
• Sauna and Turkish (steam) bath
• Seasonal outdoor pools in the Parque das Termas

Spa & wellness

The wellness centre offers massage therapy, lymphatic drainage, hot-stone and anti-cellulite treatments, shiatsu, aromatherapy, body exfoliations, algae wraps and facial treatments, with multi-day wellness programmes.

Stay & national-park setting

The complex includes a hotel and the Essentia restaurant, immersed in the landscape of the national park, making it a base for both thermal cures and nature stays.
