Heated pools, body treatments, hammam, sauna… The Fumades thermal baths have just reopened their doors after three long years of work. The editorial team tested this new version of the treatment center for you.

The structure is now modern, refined, bright. In the entrance hall, where reception agents and employees are taking care of the first arrivals this Thursday, June 14, there is already the familiar smell of thermal waters."Adorn yourself with a towel, a swimsuit, a pair of flip-flops and a bathing cap, if you wish", specify the hostesses. Two options, outside of the treatment weeks, are offered to enjoy the Fumades thermal baths, the doors of which reopened four days previously. Sessions of various body treatments are offered, upon reservation, and subject to availability. Although prices remain high, the range of treatments is complete, and the areas reserved for the SPA include a jacuzzi, a hammam, as well as a sauna.

A little further, in the heart of the complex and after passing through the changing rooms, the aquatic pool, which can accommodate up to 180 people, is available to a wider public. At the full price of 20 € During the two hours, we were able to enjoy the bubble baths and the water jets dotting the pool. But also an outdoor aquatic space, whose water, heated to 33 degrees, allows you to enjoy a little greenery, also visible from inside, behind the bay window which borders the room.

By positioning your back to the jets, the pressurized water helps relax the shoulder joints. FREE NOON – Alexis Béthune

Between going back and forth from one pool to the other, a brand new hammam and sauna await spa guests. These relaxation places, with specific benefits, are available, and located at the ends of the sensory showers. However, you will have to wait a few days, at most, before the opening of the flotarium, this pool of water loaded with salt, which allows you to relax while floating.

In the river-flow area, simply let yourself be carried by the water, towards the bubble benches. FREE NOON – Alexis Béthune
