After a trip to the Dune du Pilat, a bike ride around the Bassin, or a surfing session, your body takes a bigger toll than you might think. Heavy legs, muscle soreness: a physical therapist explains what’s really going on in your muscles—and how a recovery massage, combined with a steam room and herbal tea, can transform your active vacation in Arcachon.

Green, white, red… clay is a powerful natural treatment—as long as you use it correctly. Choosing the right type of clay for your skin, preparation, application time, common mistakes: follow Spa Beroa’s tips to enjoy its purifying and soothing benefits at home—and discover how we use it in our body wraps in Arcachon.

The humid warmth gradually envelops the body, breathing deepens, and muscles begin to relax. In a hammam, the pace naturally slows. The warm steam encourages you to pause for a few moments and allow tensions to dissipate.

Originating from Eastern traditions, the hammam is an ancient wellness ritual that continues to be widely appreciated in contemporary spas. Far more than just a moment of relaxation, it offers numerous benefits for the skin, muscles, and respiratory system.

Clay has been utilized for millennia due to its purifying, soothing, and regenerating properties. From ancient civilizations to contemporary wellness rituals, this natural substance remains one of the most valuable ingredients for body and skin care.

At Beroa in Arcachon, clay holds a central role in the treatment experience, combined with deep massages and natural plant-based oils to provide a moment of recovery and profound relaxation.
