Spa hotel stay in Occitania

Once you've chosen your room or suite in a spa hotel, it's time to think about activities. Of course, we know that you will take full advantage of the wellness facilities (jacuzzi, hammam, sauna...) of your spa hotel or let yourself be pampered with a treatment or a massage, but don't miss the opportunity to go out and discover the wonders of this beautiful French department. All the team of Unique Hôtel Spa is looking for the essential activities to do during a weekend or a stay in Occitania.

Romantic stay in Occitania

Start your getaway in Occitania with a boat trip on the Mediterranean. You will have the choice between many excursions. Discover the Camargue, the island of Brescou and Maguelone, the pond of Thau and the oyster and mussel beds. During your sea tour, you may have the chance to see dolphins and even sperm whales.

After this sea tour, continue with a golf session. Whether you are in the Hérault, the Gard, the Tarn et Garonne or in another department, you will inevitably find a place where you can try this practice.

Finally, for a nice moment in love, go for a bike ride along the coast, in the mountains or in the countryside. The region has no less than 30 greenways ranging from 8 to 76 kilometers, so all you have to do is choose which route you want to take.

You will enjoy all the benefits of the marine waters and the exceptional climate of the Mediterranean.

To please your children and spend a pleasant moment with your family, go to a water park or a leisure center. We recommend the Aqualand of Saint-Cyprien, the one of Port-Leucate and the Aqualand of Cap d'Agde (the first water park in Europe). As for the leisure centers, we recommend the Génos-Loudenvielle lake leisure center in the heart of the Pyrenees and the Ténarèze aquatic leisure center.

If you simply want to relax in a hammam, jacuzzi, sauna, swimming pool or let yourself be pampered for a treatment or a massage in one of the majestic starred spa hotels of Occitania, we have some good addresses to recommend. Among the hotels we know and have tested, we can recommend the 2000 m² spa of the Domaine de Verchant with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a jacuzzi, a sauna, a hammam and 8 treatment rooms. We also give a special mention to the Stand Spa, the wellness area of the hotel Les Bulles de Mer in Saint-Cyprien. There you will find 7 treatment rooms including 1 duo, a floatation bubble, a solarium, a tea bar and much more.

Finally, for a moment of relaxation away from the world, opt for a gite, an apartment or a room with a private Jacuzzi.  We can recommend you the charming bed and breakfast Le Prieuré in Verfeil, near Toulouse.
