Thermes Marin Côte d'Argent in Mimizan brings Atlantic thalassotherapy to the Landes coast — the Silver Coast — where one of Europe's longest and most unspoiled sandy beaches stretches for 100 kilometers of pine-backed Atlantic shore protected by the vast natural buffer of the Landes forest, Europe's largest coastal pine plantation. Seawater drawn from the powerful Atlantic swells of the Gulf of Gascony is exceptionally rich in iodine, chlorides, and marine minerals, and is channeled into thalassotherapy programs combining jet showers, seaweed treatments, and marine pool immersion with the extraordinary natural environment of the uncrowded Landes coastline. Mimizan is the main resort town of the Côte d'Argent, offering world-class Atlantic surfing, cycling through marked pine forest trails, and the wild estuary wetlands of the Courant de Mimizan as perfect complements to the thalassotherapy program. The exceptional air quality — saturated with pine resin terpenes from the surrounding Landes forest and Atlantic sea iodine — combined with marine therapy and the wild grandeur of this unspoiled coast makes Mimizan a health and wellness destination of remarkable natural integrity.

Insider tip — Mimizan sits on the Landes coast where the longest pine forest in Europe meets the Atlantic, and its thalasso draws chilly ocean water from the surf beach to heat it for seawater immersion therapy. The setting is wilder and less developed than the Basque Country thalasso centres to the south, attracting visitors who prefer dune landscapes over seaside promenades. Early morning sessions allow you to watch the Atlantic break on the empty beach before the first surfers arrive.
