Product overview

Thermes Adour operates as a thermal spa and therapeutic treatment center network in Dax and Saint-Paul-lès-Dax, southwestern France. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of conventional and specialized thermal cures (cures thermales conventionnées) for conditions including rheumatology, osteoarthritis, back pain, fibromyalgia, and phlebology/venous disorders. Their treatment offerings include standard 18-day thermal cures, double-orientation combined treatments, evening and midday flexible cure options, and post-cancer rehabilitation programs. The organization operates six distinct thermal establishments (Grand Hôtel, Regina, Arènes, Sourceo, Christus, and Chênes) across both locations. A key differentiator is their proprietary Péloïde de Dax therapeutic mud, a unique biological product containing blue algae cultivated under controlled conditions. Additionally, the company produces consumer skincare products derived from their thermal water and local biological oils. Accommodation integrated with thermal facilities is available across their property portfolio.
