Recharge Your Energy with the Aquatonic Course in Saint-Malo

The Aquatonic course is an aquatic maze with soft colors, offering a true invitation to serenity. Natural light streams in through a glass roof, illuminating the space. Featuring 194 water jets and new activity zones (dynamic jet pods): bubbling baths, back-massage seats, turbo jets, and more. Saltwater from the bay of Saint-Malo is heated to a comfortable temperature between 31°C and 34°C, depending on the area of the course. An air system introduces bubbles into the water, revitalizing your entire body. Blood circulation improves with enhanced dilation of blood vessels, invigorating your body. You'll feel relaxed, with loosened muscles and joints. The program also includes a sauna and steam room for detoxification, an ice fountain for toning the body, and slimming hydro-massage jets. A 90-minute session is recommended for this course. Bath towels are provided, but you and your children should bring sandals and a swim cap. You can also explore the fitness and relaxation areas.

A Delightful Lunch at the Thermes Marins

After this invigorating Aquatonic experience in Saint-Malo, it’s time for lunch. Three restaurants, ranging from gourmet to dietary and traditional, offer a variety of delicious dishes.

La Verrière restaurant, on the other hand, offers a menu of dietary or traditional dishes. Both low-calorie and flavorful options are available. Lastly, at La Terrasse, you’ll savor fresh market products with a breathtaking view of the bay: seafood, burgers, meats, fish, and traditional Breton desserts like kouign-amann with salted butter caramel.
