The Pyrenees-Orientales are full of wellness activities. You will have the choice between starred spa hotels, water parks, beaches, hot springs, balneotherapy or thalassotherapy cures. You are not dreaming, your vacations will be synonymous with rest in this corner of France.

To fill up on vitamin D, put down your towels on one of the beaches of the Pyrénées-Orientales. We recommend the Ouille beach in Argelès-sur-Mer, the Mar Estang beach in Canet-en-Roussillon, the Peyrefite beach in Cerbère, the Saint-Vincent beach in Collioure or the Anse Sainte Catherine in Port-Vendres.

Continue your wellness interlude by basking in hot sulfurous water baths. We suggest the Saint-Thomas baths in Fontpédrouse where you can enjoy jacuzzis, hammams and massage jets, all with a breathtaking view of the mountain. The baths of Llo and Dorres are also ideal for a moment of relaxation.

To revitalize your body and your mind, push the doors of a balneo center. The Domaine de Falgos spa, Calicéo in Saleilles, the Angleo Balneo & Spa space and the eau de forme center in Mont-Louis promise unique moments of escape thanks to their equipment (whirlpool baths, water jets...).

Otherwise, take advantage of all the benefits of seawater by going to a thalasso center. We recommend the Côté Thalasso - Banyuls sur Mer, the Thalasso-Spa les Flamants Roses in Canet-en-Roussillon or the marine spa center Ile de la Lagune in Saint-Cyprien. All the treatments offered in these establishments will boost your immune system. You can choose between a mud, clay or seaweed bath.

If you are with your children, be sure to treat them to a water park. For this, go to Aqualand in Saint-Cyprien or Tropical Jump in Argelès-sur-Mer. Don't worry, there you will also enjoy the relaxation oasis.

Finally, if you want to relax in the relaxation center of a luxury spa hotel, we have some recommendations for you. Because yes, in addition to offering you sumptuous rooms, these hotels have real wellness temples. We really appreciate the Sand Spa at the Bulles de Mer hotel in Saint-Cyprien but also the wellness area at the Madeloc hotel in Collioure and the Hotel & Spa Les Mouettes in Argelès-sur-Mer.
