Perfection and tranquillity

If your aim on holiday is to experience a salt water cure, then look no further than the Vilalara Thalassotherapy Centre, one of the most modern in Europe.

Located near Lagoa and built on cliffs overlooking Gaivotas beach, the Vilalara Thalassa Sofitel is the epitome of perfection and tranquillity, exuding comfort and inviting rest.

Practised by the ancient Greeks and Romans, thalassotherapy uses minerals and oligo-elements necessary for the vitality of the human body through sea water and other sea products.

There are various treatments on offer which are applied after consultation with medical practitioners, and other trained specialists and beauticians at the centre.

Apart from treatment, you can take quiet walks in the botanical gardens of the complex with plants and flowers from the four corners of the earth, or have direct access to the beach to practise marine sports or have guided tours of the sea caves.  Alternatively, you can choose from a variety of other activities available in the area: for example cruises, visits to potteries and craft shops, horse riding, or discovering the local night life.
