Add something extra to your holiday and try out some of the health and beauty programmes on offer at the Algarve’s Thalassotherapy centres.

Located by the sea, these centres at popular resorts offer seawater-based treatments to aid relaxation and restore your physical balance.

Seaweed, mud and sand combine to ensure a healthy skin and complexion at the Vilalara Thalassotherapy Centre. Tone your whole body with a “Cura Adelgaçante”, or go for smoother legs with a “Cura Pernas Tonificadas” treatment.

A range of recreational activities is available to complement the pampering. Golf is just one activity on offer, with numerous high quality courses located across the Algarve region.

There is also some fine dining on offer. For example, for a delicious treat you can sample any of the grilled fish or fresh shellfish served at a restaurant with a beautiful view over the sea.
