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.

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.
