BODY.
hydrotherapy The therapeutic qualities of water are well known. In Madeira the abundance of this natural element is used in health and beauty treatments. Thalassotherapy, the exposure to seawater and the application of sea products (such as seaweed and sea salt), supply vitamins and mineral salts that help hydrate the body. In the vichy shower the drops of water massage and help one’s muscles relax.

aromatherapy The boundless vegetation and the many gardens with exotic flowers make aromatherapy in Madeira compulsory. The archipelago has many natural aromas that help relax the body and free the mind. Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) with its sweet aroma helps free one’s emotions. While the floral and citrusy aroma of the Anemone-leaved Crane’s-bill soothes one’s senses, the Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) refreshes and helps relieve one’s respiratory difficulties. French Lavender, Sandalwood (Santalum album), Eucalyptus, clover, ginger or orange are other madeiran aromas that will appease your senses.

egotherapy In Madeira everything seems to invite one to relax. Authentic oases, hotels have much to offer in terms of leisure for moments of pleasure. To begin with a suggestion of a massage with essential oils or an algae mask. This could be followed by a sauna, a turkish (steam) bath or a jacuzzi. Yoga and other alternative therapies like shiatsu and reiki are other forms recommended to help one find a balance between body and mind.

MIND.
water An ocean all around with water appearing in streams, cascades, lakes and pools. Blue predominates and gives the landscape its unique character. Source of all life water flows mysteriously through the green undergrowth. The levadas, man made waterways built in the past, were used to channel water to distant parts of the island. Today they guide us through the mystical depths of the Laurissilva Forest. The therapeutic qualities of water are also revealed in pools and spas. The beach at Porto Santo has, for example, unique tranquilising effects which are heightened by the immense sea stretching out to the horizon.
8. mind
air Bouquets of Laurel, Madeira Laurel, Picconia and Lily-of-the-Valley Tree emanate a unique bouquet, which offer an incomparably breathable air in the forest. One is instantly absorbed by a sense of complete fusion with the earth, thus finding some form of identity with century-old Sweet Chestnut trees, whose roots are well entrenched in the soil. The fragrance of exotic flowers - like the Pride of Madeira, the Yellow Foxglove, the Anemone-leaved Crane’s-bill, the White Orchards, among many others, fill the air with sweet and energetic aromas. Even though these flowers were introduced in Madeira a long time ago, their beauty is still appreciated today, for they tinge the allembracing greenery of Madeira with their vivid colours and tones.

sand The golden beach at Porto Santo stretches out for nine sandy kilometres. Walking bare foot on this seductive sand leads us on to discover the wonders of this island. Fine, soft and lightly heated by the sun, the sand of Porto Santo has long been known for its therapeutic properties. The coral, shell and sea urchin deposits give this sand a unique texture which is a real balm for the body. And for the mind. The different coloured tones of the sand help one to relax allowing us to find new spiritual levels. A wish to leave only for a quick dip in the sea.
