A week devoted to what Vilalara has quietly practised for six decades: the art of restoring balance by the sea. Exclusive treatments and rituals of wellbeing, drawn from the thalassotherapy heritage that has defined this place from the very beginning.

Thalassotherapy is treatment in warmed seawater, the sea as medium, not merely as view. Held by the water, the body surrenders part of its weight, and what remains is the essential: slower gestures, deeper release, a kind of work the land does not allow.

Three internationally recognised practitioners, in residence at Praia das Gaivotas. Twenty-five group classes, twenty-four private sessions, three workshops. Classes are limited to eight guests, small enough for every hour to keep its intimacy.
