5 good reasons to discover Thalasso Concarneau

For its size

Intimate thalasso or vast spa? The question may arise in view of the reduced number of cabins (8 cabins for dry treatments and 12 for wet treatments) and the refined decoration of the premises, far from the traditional codes of the profession. There is no doubt, however, that it is indeed thalassotherapy that we are talking about here, under the aegis of the Thalgo group. Hydromassage baths, seaweed wraps, massages under affusions… the classic treatments are all there, but revisited with an extra soul! From the comfortable floating bed for wraps to the little details that make the difference (scented linen, intimate candle lighting, larger massage table…) in each cabin, you feel really privileged, pampered…. like in a spa!

For its marine spa with a view

With its large bay windows facing the sea, its rough stone walls, its wooden frame and its sauna overlooking the ocean, it totally surprises us. We love the swimming pool against the current and the variety of jets in the leisure pool:swan necks, bubble deckchairs, jacuzzi... And especially the sunsets to admire while being massaged in sea water heated to 32 °C!

For its caring staff

From the dynamic and smiling director, Caroline Mahé-Léa, to the various practitioners (beauticians, therapists, etc.) and the lifeguard, the welcome is professional but always warm and spontaneous. And it feels good ! A big thank you especially to Sabine for her exceptional listening.

For the flexibility of cures

Marine Escape, Voyage of the Senses, Marine Beauty or Toned Silhouette:each program is available over 4, 5 or 6 days, to suit all schedules and budgets. You can also book a Pure Evasion, Slimming Starter or Marine Relaxation "getaway" for 1, 2 or 3 days, book a half-day or full-day "bubble" or treat yourself to a cutting-edge treatment at the Thalgo spa, such as the Ritual of excellence anti-aging or the Fundamental care of the sea.

For its privileged setting

Located opposite the Sables Blancs beach, Thalasso Concarneau is only a good twenty-minute walk from the walled city and its ramparts. From there, it is easy to embark for the Glénan Archipelago, the Breton Seychelles with transparent waters...

Here we go!

We sleep at the adjoining Resort Thalasso Concarneau****. Spacious rooms, most with balcony or terrace overlooking the sea and quality catering:chef Cyril Le Rest, a native of Finistère, magnifies local products, such as cod cooked on pebbles and smoked with maritime pine needles, which has a small visual and taste effect! Good point also for the homemade cakes (far Breton, apple cakes…) for breakfast.

Evasion Marine program from €1,203/pers. 6 days / 6 nights in a double room and half board. Marine Relaxation Getaway from €422/pers. 2 days / 2 nights in a double room and half board. Phone. :02 98 75 05 40, www.concarneau-thalasso.com.
