CAN WE DRINK ALCOHOL IN THE HOT TUBS ?

No, it is not allowed to drink or to eat in the baths for health and sanitary reasons. The bath’s water temperature can causes deshydratation and this could be dangerous when doing a complete thermal cycle. For that reason, it is allowed to bring a water bottle in the hot tubs and the saunas so that you stay hydrated during all your experience. However, alcohol consumption must be done in the restaurant or terrace areas.

We use the Phytomer product line, a unique laboratory entirely dedicated to marine biotechnologies.
