Porto Santo
The island of Porto Santo, lies just 40 Kilometres northeast of Madeira, and has a whole range of natural healthy features. A never-ending stretch of sandy yellow beach is bathed by a transparent blue warm sea which heals and rejuvenates body and mind.
The major attractions of this island lie not only in its qualities as a beach resort but also as a health resort. The sands are therapeutic, with fine, soft grains containing healing organic matter with a carbonated chemical composition.
Using these precious raw materials, a thalassotherapy health clinic was built combining comprehensive healing programs with products inspired by the sea and sand. This revitalising haven aims to create the perfect environment for detoxification, rejuvenation, stress management, encouraging health and well-being.
A unique combination of treatments caresses the senses, using the unique therapeutic qualities of the golden sand and the pure Atlantic waters to its best effect.
Come and discover a golden island surrounded by turquoise blue water, where the sun shines and tranquillity reigns.
