The Saubusse thermal baths, in the Landes department of southwestern France, draw on sulfurous water at 31°C near the Adour river. Indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, hammam, and massage make up this thermal offering in the region.
Insider tip — The Thermes de Saubusse in the Adour valley of the Landes draws sulfurous water at a mild 31°C, long used in the French medical tradition for ENT and rheumatological cures. The surrounding pine forest of the Landes de Gascogne creates a uniquely flat, resinous landscape quite unlike the mountainous spa towns of the Pyrenees 80 km to the south. The coastal Atlantic beaches of Hossegor and Capbreton are reachable in under 40 minutes. Combine thermal treatments with cycling through the vast pine corridors of Europe's largest coastal forest.
