Thus, Reunion Island being at the crossroads of these continents, is it a favorable place for the individual to find harmony between body and mind.

Thalassotherapy-Thermal baths
Reunion, a volcanic island in the heart of the Indian Ocean, teem with healthy hot springs rich in minerals. This is specificity what allowed the villages of Hellbourg (in Salazie) and Cilaos to open spas as soon as the nineteenth century. The inflow of tourists motivated by the quality of those waters (they are compared to those of Vichy or la Bourboule) did not dried up till 1948, when a destructive storm put a stop to this thriving activity. Today, a modern spa has opened in Cilaos and welcomes you for a three week treatment or simply for an occasional personalized care on a morning or an afternoon.
On the coast, thalassotherapy centers also offer treatments using products from the sea.
