A spa boasting treatments with specially developed ingredients and beauty products from oysters and the sea has opened on the Thau lagoon, south France
The hotel and spa have been opened by the Tarbouriech family which has been farming oysters for three generations
The Tarbouriech family has been farming oysters in the area for three generations and now offers Ostreathérapie® at its new Domaine Tarbouriech boutique hotel. Wraps, baths, scrubs, massages (using shells), facials and professional products – created in partnership with the University of Montpelier – are based on aragonite, marine collagen, marine silk and other antioxidants and amino acids to encourage a sense of balance and energy. Treatments from French marine brand Phytomer are also available.
A signature 130-minute ritual, priced at €215 (US$249, £192), combines a facial with a pearl serum and salicornia mask and a massage where hot stones are replaced with oyster shells. There is, of course, a restaurant serving fresh oysters too.
