Acquaforte Thalasso & Spa

The history of Acquaforte Thalasso & Spa dates back years and millennia.

Millennia because the Ancient Romans, as can be seen in the splendid town of Nora in Sardinia just a few minutes away from Forte Village Resort, already knew about the benefits of thermal baths by the sea.

And years, because twenty-five years ago the medical team at Forte Village, led by Dr Angelo Cerina, revolutionised the world of thalassotherapy, creating a totally original and extraordinarily effective method for detoxing, rejuvenating and improving the body.

This method has been made even more exclusive with the help of the best specialists in sports, aesthetic and dietary medicine, in the ultra-modern Forte Lab and Performance Center facilities. A method, in the end, that only exists in the heart.

Feel and look your best with thalassotherapy, nature’s most powerful natural detox. The Acquaforte Thalasso SPA is the perfect place to relax and re-balance the body and mind. The unique Thalassotherapy method is based on a circuit of six seawater pools with varying water temperatures and saline concentrations. Twenty years of research, led by Dr. Angelo Cerina, discovered that the vital elements which must be integrated in the treatment are sea oil and natural seawater with high magnesium content which assists in draining of excess fluids and, Thalassotherapy also works as effective accelerant when combined with other treatments such as anti-aging and weight loss.

Signature Treatments

Light, lightness, seduction

The medical team of Acquaforte Thalasso & Spa have spent years of research to design and develop a wonderful collection of extraordinarily effective and appealing exclusive treatments.

Heavenly legs

A walk through sea water, divided into a series of stages with different saline densities and decreasing temperatures, from 34° to 10°. It is ideal for toning the legs and working on vascular diseases, with its extraordinary anti-edema action. The result: lighter, more toned, more seductive legs.

Natural sea salt exfoliation

In the fragrant steam of the Turkish bath, a salt-based scrub removes toxins and dead cells from the skin, draining excess liquid, and preparing the body to receive the benefits of thalassotherapy and the sun.

Honey and salt massage

One of life’s rules is that opposites attract, as this extraordinary massage proves, where the softness of honey and the energy of salt, combined with essential oils, purify and smooth the skin, preparing it to welcome the smiling sun and every caress.

Sea oil cryotherapy

Drawing on the property of sea oil, which freezes at -40 °, the treatment combines the benefits of low temperature with the draining and toning properties of this extraordinary natural magnesium-based liquid. Thanks to the skilled massage of the therapists, the microcirculation is reactivated and the body becomes wonderfully light again, with a remarkable skin anti-aging effect.

Sea mud

Thanks to its wealth of minerals and trace elements, boosted by the waters of the Mediterranean, when applied over the whole body or on specific areas, sea mud complements the benefits of thalassotherapy, toning and working therapeutically on skin pathologies and the bone/muscle system with a very remarkable anti-inflammatory effect.

Ayurvedic Park & Yoga

In the garden of Indian wisdom
Ancient Ayurvedic medicine has found a new home at Acquaforte Thalasso&Spa. The same gentleness, the same intensity, the same wisdom. The result is our splendid Ayurvedic Park in the most secluded corner of our garden. Massages, yoga lessons, pilates. The body, relaxes, it listens, and it is happy.

Abhyanga
This is the “crowning” massage of Ayurvedic medicine. Hands glide over the body and envelop it in the warmth of oil perfumed with aromatic Indian essences, spices and medicinal plants. The effects are instant and profound: the blood and lymph circulation is reactivated, the spine relaxes, the muscles are toned and the body eliminates toxins, stress and fatigue.

Forteveda signature massage
First and foremost, posture and suppleness. This massage with Ayurvedic oil based on Indian herbs relaxes muscles and ligaments and ensures the posture of the body is correct, relaxed and harmonious.

Shirodara and four hands treatment
Just say the word “shirodara” and you are whisked away to another dimension, with a massage that reaches into the very depths of your psyche. Opening the door to the mind and releasing all the tension is a trickle of warm oil that anoints the forehead. At the same time the therapists’ hands glide over the body and help you achieve inner peace in the gentlest way possible.

Hatha Flow & Vinyasa
From the very ancient discipline of yoga, a smooth series of asana to be performed by harmonising the breath and movements, in order to control the hold and the configuration of every position.

Gentle Hatha
Ideal for all levels of physical ability, this gentle yoga combines a sequence of relaxing postures to practise meditation. What you gain is a new awareness helping you to balance body and mind perfectly.

Yoga

From meditation, a new kind of suppleness

From the age-old wisdom of the East comes the answer to the problems we suffer from today: stress and anxiety, not to mention bad posture and stiffness. We are talking about yoga, a meditative practice that combines a spiritual quest with a vision that regenerates the body and breathing. In keeping with the holistic vision of its treatments and in the peace of its garden, Acquaforte Thalasso&Spa has set aside a special area for yoga, its schools and its most authoritative maestros.

In particular, Acquaforte Thalasso&Spa offers Yin Yoga that works on the “yin”, as against the dynamic “yang”, concentrating on the ligaments, tendons and joints. This discipline allows all the muscles to relax and strengthens the deepest connective tissue, improving flexibility and the whole body’s capacity for movement.

Aesthetic Medicine Center

A relaxed, luminous, ageless face. To energize the skin and forget the signs of aging, we offer the latest technology and cosmetic treatments. From radiofrequency, peeling and fillers, to body remodeling thanks to Sculpsure and carboxytherapy. The exceptional Dr. Regina Fortunato, a specialist in reconstructive plastic surgery and aesthetics, with over 30 years of experience will oversee the Medical Center.

Some of her innovative treatments include:

Sculpsure

a non-invasive system for the remodeling of the body designed to reduce excess fat in areas such as abdomen, hips, legs and arms.

Velashape

Defines, models and slims the silhouette by reducing cellulite and reducing the circumference without recovery times.

Ultherapy

Ultherapy first and only non-surgical facelift with Focal-approved microfocalized ultrasound that regenerates the skin in depth making it more toned, compact and smooth, without the need of scalpels or needles.

Palmor Radiofrequency

A treatment using electromagnetic waves, suitable for reducing the signs of time, toning the skin and helping break down localised adipose fat and cellulite.

Carboxytherapy

Carboxytherapy is an extraordinary therapy method that uses the “releasing” action of carbon dioxide and is ideal for anti-cellulite beauty treatments. By combining it with the Acquaforte Thalasso&Spa natural therapies, it also works even harder on localised fat, with remarkable detoxing and draining effects.

Private Spa

The ultimate in privacy, a new luxurious ‘Private SPA’, located within the Acquaforte Spa, can now be reserved for exclusive use by a family and friends. Spend the day in a private garden with 3 thalasso pools and convenient access to all of the specialist Acquaforte SPA treatments such as Forte Lab medical assessment services, the gym and other facilities.

Private Thalasso Pool Circuit

POOL 1: Sea oil at 37°-38°

The combination of magnesium salt with high temperature water has a vasodilatory effect that increases metabolic exchanges by osmosis thereby aiding the draining and detox effect.

POOL 2: Seawater whirlpool at 35-36°

A high temperature, pure sea water pool features whirlpools that stimulate microcirculation from the soles of the feet to the abdominal muscles and the back.

POOL 3: High saline density at 36-37°C

This sodium-rich pool increases the osmosis between sea water and the body, stimulating the elimination of toxins and aiding muscle relaxation. This pool is ideal for a water massage.

A massage for the soul

A relaxing massage with essential oils and specific aromas to meet the needs of each guest. Ideal for relieving stress and banishing insomnia, and to restore the body’s natural balance.

Four hands massage
In perfect synchrony, like a dance, two therapists massage the body, enveloping it with warm perfumed oils. An unforgettable experience that stimulates the circulation, tones muscles and instils the body with energy and lightness.

Honey and salt massage
One of life’s rules is that opposites attract, just like in this extraordinary massage where the softness of honey and the energy of salt, combined with essential oils, purify and smooth the skin, preparing it to welcome the smiling sun and every caress.

Shiatsu
Identifying the body’s energy flows and pressing on its pressure points: shiatsu massage, a Japanese technique developed in the 6th century, relieves tension and “recharges” every part of the body.
