Sea and spas: have you ever thought about it? In Emilia-Romagna, you can!
Here are five places in Emilia-Romagna where you can combine the benefits of thermal waters with those of the sea.
In summer, our minds inevitably turn to beach holidays. Whether you are planning a weekend away with friends, a long weekend with your partner or the long-awaited family holiday, why not combine sunbathing with a few hours of thermal wellness?
The Romagna Riviera is known for its wide golden beaches (110 km of coastline), beach facilities (with areas dedicated to sports and children), large green spaces and cycle paths, all just a stone’s throw from large amusement parks, coastal cities of art and inland villages.
For over 2000 years, the waters of Emilia Romagna have offered regenerating benefits that are worth trying at least once in a lifetime: let yourself be pampered by the warm waters of the thermal pools and delicious treatments… for unforgettable relaxation!
Plan your break from everyday life to the fullest: first, get back in shape with thermal waters that will prepare your body for the best tan; then enjoy water sports with friends, relaxing walks along the shore and a dip in the sea that is safe even for the little ones, thanks to the gently sloping sandy beaches.
Choose the perfect location for you and book your relaxing seaside holiday.
Sea and spas in Riccione Terme
In Riccione, in a green pine forest overlooking the sea and just a few minutes from the central Viale Ceccarini, you can devote some time to your well-being at Riccione Terme.
The sensory journey includes thermal pools at different temperatures with whirlpools, chromatic showers, waterfalls, a vascular hydrotherapy circuit and Venetian and Pompeian grottos.
You can also add one of the many beauty treatments, massages or wellness packages: the ideal way to rediscover energy, serenity and physical fitness.
Sea and spas in Riminiterme
In the seaside town of Rimini, with its historic centre waiting to be discovered, wellness continues right by the sea.
Riminiterme is a real spa village on the beach to be enjoyed from dawn to dusk, suitable for all needs โ from the youngest to the oldest.
The wellness area based on thalassotherapy (the combined effect of sun, iodine and salt water) also offers massages and numerous face and body treatments, including the application of beauty mud based on precious marine trace elements.
Sea and spas in Cervia
In Cervia, a seaside town built around fishing nets and the salt pans of the famous Sale Dolce (sweet salt), you can enjoy some healthy spa relaxation between the tranquillity of the sea and the shade of the centuries-old pine forest.
At the Terme di Cervia spa, characterised by coloured glass and typical 20th-century modernist design, you can experience the properties of the mother water from the local salt pans and the mud that forms the basis of many treatments available, including salt peeling and detox mud.
Overlooking the seafront is the Terme del Mare spa, a new, modern and functional spa centre.
The facility, connected to the nearby Club Hotel Dante and its modern and welcoming thermal pools, offers services for the prevention and treatment of various chronic conditions, as well as being the ideal place to take care of yourself and your body’s well-being.
If you are travelling with your family, there are areas dedicated to children.
You will discover a place where nature becomes care and well-being.
Sea and spas in Punta Marina
At the Terme di Punta Marina spa, you can recharge your batteries with relaxation and wellness in a typical seaside setting, between the historic Dante pine forest and the seashore. A few kilometres away is Ravenna, a city of art as sparkling as the tiles of its mosaics, which is well connected by public transport.
In Punta Marina, you can experience a world of wellness based on thermal water. In addition to the two swimming pools with salsobromojodica water and the Finnish sauna, there are many face and body treatments and massages to choose from.
