Thalasso Centre - Terme & Wellness Palace Portoroz
»Thalassa« is a Greek word for
“the sea”. The concept of
»thalassotherapy« does not relate only to the use
of the products from the sea for the benefit of our health and beauty,
by help of ancient and modern techniques; it actually refers to the
whole way of life, leisure time and recreation offered by the seaside
climate: from walking and cycling along the salt pans and the beach to
the healthy and varied Mediterranean cuisine.
This important branch of medicine uses sea products for
preventive and curative health care in the field of rehabilitation as
well as cosmetics and wellness. The types of products used, such as sea
water, brine, sea climate, algae, sea mud, salt pan mud and sand, the
techniques of their employment and the way they can be combined
– are all in constant development.
In our health resort, we have been using the gifts from the
sea originating in the SeÄovlje salt pans for over a century. Two
extremely important byproducts are obtained in the process of natural
production of salt: the salt pan mud and brine, both having strong
healing effects.

minutes)
The treatment is carried out in a state-of-the-art massage tub with 140
water and 40 air massage jets, which ensure a thorough massage of all
parts of the body. The massage tub enables individual choice of the
programme and the intensity of the massage. Together with a special
“star light effect”, various additives for the

and revitalisation.
Multi-jet bath

body’s resistance and improves general well-being. It is
recommended for improving and easing mobility and for greater muscle
flexibility; it is also used as a painalleviating therapy.
Multi-jet bath
with brine is most frequently used for degenerative and
rheumatic problems, injuries of the locomotor system and skin
conditions.
Multi-jet bath
with algae is unique in its effect. Exceptionally rich in
minerals, the algae are, namely, used for healing as well as cosmetic
purposes. We recommend this type of bath for disturbed growth, chronic
rheumatism, bad circulation, incorrect functioning of the thyroid due
to iodine deficiency, for increasing the body’s resistance as
well as for reducing weight and cellulite.
Multi-jet bath
for circulation is a special bath to which the rosemary
essential oil has been added, which revives the senses and the blood
circulation. It is highly recommended to anyone feeling tired and
exhausted.
Multi-jet bath
for relaxation, enriched with essential oils of lavender
and balm mint, has a soothing effect on the senses, lowers blood
pressure and helps with insomnia and headaches. We recommend it to all
who are psychophysically overstrung and in need of quick relaxation.
Multi-jet bath
for detoxification has an excellent effect on the
increased elimination of toxins from the body. We recommend it as an
aid to slimming and anti-cellulite programmes and for the sensation of
heaviness in the legs as well as tension.
Multi-jet bath
for revitalisation is a bath with a difference, fragranced
with citrus fruits (mandarins, lemons and oranges) which improve the
state of mind, stimulate digestion and play an active role in working
against depression and anxiety. It has proven excellent in cellulite
removal.
Body packs with a bath
The treatment consists of various body packs, like
Mediterranean body pack, body pack with salt pan mud (Fango) or algae,
and a classical bath. Fango body pack with classical bath (40 minutes)
is a combination of a salt pan mud body pack and a bath. We start the
treatment by first covering the parts of the body with salt pan mud and
salt, and thereafter proceeding with a sea bath. The entire programme
helps alleviating pain and works beneficially on the skin.
Algae body pack
with classical bath (40 minutes) is a combination of an
algae body pack and a bath. The treatment consists of covering the body
with algae, leaving them on for 20 minutes in order for the body pack
to take effect and subsequently proceeding with a sea water bath. The
treatment is recommended as part of body sculpting and firming as well
as cellulite removal programmes.
Mediterranean
body pack with a bath (40 minutes)
We first coat the body with a mixture of salts, olive oil and
Mediterranean herbs. After 20 minutes the treatment continues in a sea
water bath. The programme is an excellent means of removing impurities,
thanks to the use of salt, which promotes peeling and dead cell
removal, thus enabling the skin to absorb the minerals more easily.
Body packs
Salt pan mud
(Fango) body packs
Salt pan mud (Fango) is Istrian clay enriched with brine. We use it for
therapeutic purposes as body packs, which we apply in thick layers to
the affected parts of the body. In order to achieve a greater effect;
we end this therapy with a sea water shower. The therapy is suitable
for treating rheumatism and skin conditions, it accelerates the
elimination of body wastes and generally improves the body’s
resistance. Fango was once used for healing purposes only, but the
research carried out over a period of time has lately proved that it
also has a great many beneficial and beauty enhancing effects on the
skin.
Fango is an exceptional means for the renewal and firming of
the skin. Due to the high content of minerals and the effect it
exercises on the circulation, it has proven excellent also in promoting
the removal of cellulite.

Algae contain a large amount of mineral substances and are, as such,
indispensable for contouring of the body, reducing the size of certain
parts of the body and removing cellulite. Algae body pack is ideal for
cleansing the skin of the entire body. Following the therapy the skin
becomes like velvet, firmer and of increased elasticity. Algae also
have a soothing effect on chronic rheumatism, they stimulate the
functioning of the entire body and increase its resistance.
