The Hasdrubal Thalassa & Spa have, as their prestigious ancestors the Antoninus’s thermac in Carthage which figured among the largest three baths of the Roman Empire, and the Hammans in Tunis called “magical baths” by the travellers who sang the praises of the number and the quality of their services. The success of Thalassotherapy is not tied to a specific era or fashion, but to the discovery of the water biological wealth of virtues and the understanding of the role it plays in man’s health as well as the evolution of the techniques in the use of sea water and seaweeds. In order to allow you to take full advantage of all the benefits derived from the sea air and climate, the Hasdrubal Thalassa & Spa are situated directly on the shore.
