Wellbeing - The Tunisian Touch
Tunisia is a fantastic destination when it comes to wellbeing. The country is renowned for its hospitality, with its Mediterranean climate and the sweet smell of jasmine and orange blossom, and wellbeing has deep roots in Tunisia’s traditions. Water has always been a source of natural beauty and health, from Roman thermal baths to Turkish hammams. Tunisia is now the second biggest country in the world when it comes to thalassotherapy, boasting some sixty dedicated centres along its coastline.
From the north of Tunisia to the south, many hotels have a wellbeing centre offering a wide range of massages, wraps and beauty treatments. Some have actual thalasso centres or luxury spas; whether you’re looking for an à la carte treatment or a comprehensive package, you can enjoy the benefits of seawater and seaweed, packed with mineral salts and trace elements. And if you prefer thermal springs, there are treatment centres in the North West and in Djerba.
Thalasso & Spa
Designer brand beauty treatments, revitalising massages to keep your body and mind in harmony, all the healing benefits of plants, cutting-edge aesthetic medicine, relaxation techniques and muscle building… These spas and thalasso centres are constantly introducing new services, like Barbary fig oil, Singapore massage, aquabiking and Watsu relaxation in a seawater swimming pool.
Tunisia has been honing its expertise in this field since 1994 and is now a leading destination when it comes to thalassotherapy. Respect for protocols, quality of the water, medical supervision: everything is done in accordance with best professional practices. With a few little extra touches: sunshine, smiles and the natural kindness of the Tunisians.
Thermal Treatments
With a long tradition of thermal waters, Tunisia has embarked on the launch of fully renovated thermal spas that comply with international norms and the new requirements for health and wellbeing tourism.
A hammam with thermal spring water, a thermal swimming pool overlooking the mountain (at Hammam Bourguiba), facilities adapted for people with disabilities (at Djerba Thermalisme): the new thermal spa reports have plenty to offer. Hammam Bourguiba, nestled in the mountains in the northwest, has already become a major thermal spa resort with luxury accommodation. They treat ENT conditions and rheumatism here, as well as offering more short-term treatments where the focus is on relaxation and wellbeing, where thermal solutions are complemented by other types of treatments.
Massages and traditional treatments
Tunisia’s spas and thalasso centres combine age-old massage techniques that relax the muscles using toning kneading movements and the sliding pressure of the fists and forearms. A very thorough approach that is guaranteed to give you a real boost!
