Thalasso Palanga is the principal marine wellness centre on Lithuania's Baltic coast in Palanga, the country's most popular seaside resort, where iodine-rich Baltic sea water and the therapeutic pine forest air of the Pajurio Regional Park combine to create a classic northern thalassotherapy environment with deep roots in nineteenth-century Baltic spa culture. The Curonian Spit, the extraordinary 98-kilometre sand dune peninsula shared between Lithuania and Russia's Kaliningrad enclave, begins just south of Palanga at Klaipeda and its towering migrating dunes, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage landscape, represent one of the most singular natural formations on the European continent. Palanga itself, with its amber museum, its long sandy beach, its botanical park, and its Catholic pilgrimage tradition, provides a full Baltic cultural experience surrounding the thalasso centre in a resort that functions for Lithuanians much as Brighton or Deauville function for their respective nations.
