THE SITE

The island of Ol̩ron is the most southerly island on the Atlantic coast, and also the sunniest. Overlooking the Gatseau beach and surrounded by the 2000 hectares of the Saint-Trojan forest, Accor Thalassa Ol̩ron welcomes guests to a wild and untamed spot, in the very heart of nature. Here you will discover what serenity means Рand enjoy all its benefits thanks to specific treatments. They are offered by an institute that is not too large, allowing guests to quickly find their way around.

Accor Thalassa Les Sables d'Olonne is the spot where all these delightful features come together. Facing the ocean and sheltered by a wood of pines, it offers you a calm and sunny environment, just a stone's throw away from one of the finest beaches on this coast.

"The jewel of the Emerald Coast".

Dinard truly deserves this title. Clinging to the Pointe de Saint-Enogat, this little gem can be found in a setting of greenery and rocks, nestling in a hollow on the untamed coastline of the English Channel. Its outstanding location, its bracing iodised air makes it an ideal spot for a successful thalassotherapy programme.
