The island of Ile de Ré is inextricably linked to the Atlantic Ocean. Surrounded by beaches and marshes, it offers pure air and water all around. It’s therefore natural that Ile de Ré is home to three thalassotherapy centers, making it one of France’s top wellness destinations, unmissable from our hotel on the island. Take the time to recharge with a thalassotherapy treatment in an indoor pool with massage jets, and enjoy additional treatments (massages, reflexology, etc.) for a relaxing experience you won’t forget.

Relax and Unwind with a Thalassotherapy Retreat on the Île de Ré
La Ré Blanche is one of France's most popular destinations for a thalassotherapy stay on the Île de Ré, whether for a weekend or a full week. The island offers postcard-perfect scenery, with landscapes featuring Vauban fortifications, white houses adorned with hollyhocks, fields, dunes, and marshes. Choosing a thalasso experience on the Île de Ré is also the perfect opportunity to explore destinations like Saint-Martin, La Flotte, or Ars, all of which are home to renowned spa establishments in Charente-Maritime and across France. People often visit La Ré Blanche with family, but couples, friends, and groups also enjoy its charms. Despite its popularity among summer holidaymakers, the island has retained its “natural” character and authenticity, partly due to its flat, elongated shape, which helps distribute visitors across its extensive 100-kilometer coastline. The Île de Ré is conveniently located just 30 minutes from La Rochelle and 145 km from Nantes. It also offers a mild climate, ideal for water activities such as sailing, surfing, or kitesurfing.
