1. Originality
These unique concept includes the development of an multi-product and a complete production offer. It includes the EXCLUSIVE THERMAL SPA, with distinctive services linked to the available thermal services offer (with natural mineral water) – dermocosmetic treatments, massages, nutrition, others – all with the distinguishing territory characteristics under direct influence.
Cabins, equipped with advanced technological equipment, where costumers can undergo a careful diagnostic process merged with a region picture (gastronomic,tourist, and social tailored alternatives) as well as custom made dermocosmetic products, allows to create a strong emotional bond with the client, which will be reflected in a positive association with the brand, which will show its concern for the client’s well-being from the genesis of the treatments.
Moreover, it comprise a thermal laboratory, to ensure quality, boost research and technical-scientific development, testing new substances (essential oils from native plants), and a solid educational component (activities designed especially for children and/or families), etc.
Additionally, the plan embrace the development of an integrated information management system which will allow us to get closer to our visitors/clients (current and prospective ones), offering them privileged and exclusive access to information about their experiences and its monitoring, in real time, using a range of indicators that enable the assessment of the influence, on health and well-being, built through the experiences lived at this resort.
This system will be able, for the first time, to transform the costumers data collected into useful information, in a way that it will optimize management decision making in the context of the thermal activity, which through this knowledge will be able to feed the productive offer with the main objective of meeting customer needs and expectations.
The service innovation isn´t only limited to the numerous proved benefits inherent to the use of thermal waters. It goes beyond that. The focus is essentially on the consumer’s experience, through the meticulous planning and organization of the surrounding environment, which excels in its association with nature, both environmentally and architecturally, allowing the customer to enjoy unique sensations of comfort, relaxation and well-being.
In the tranquil embrance of the spa layout we will have inviting outdoor spaces carefully designed to envelop guests in a sense of serenety and revitalization. These outdoor spaces not only will provide a seene escape from everyday life but also elevate the spa experience by immersing guests in a tranquil environment while indulging in the spa treatmentes.
In order to trigger positive emotions and create an immersive multysensory experience perfect to escape, the whole environment will be thought out in detail, in an holistic approach, exploiting sensory marketing strategies to provide to our guests a unique journey and experience. Relaxing ambient music, olfactory sensations related through nature and the usage of natural oils (from region plants) in several treatments, immersion in visual sensations inherent to chromotherapy, combined to the already existing SPA treatments(hydrotherapy, watsu, baths and other thermal techniques) and, to improve even more the experience, conceiving exclusive experiences to tantalise the palate.
A concept resulting from a combination of balneotherapy, more advanced methods of physical recovery, new types of healing and health tourism itself, whose main objective is to offer medical, aesthetic, relaxation and wellness treatments, in an integrated SPA environment, combined with complementary therapies and treatments (fitness, meditation and coaching activities in spaces expressly conceived for this aim and with qualified monitors; nutrition; and psychology).
Concerning the equipment, two more innovations will be installed on the national market. On the one hand, a Thalaxion treatment station, which allows venous and lymphatic circulation treatments through the projection of thermal water jets, and on the other hand, a Cromotherm station that consists of a capsule that aims to carry out, in addition to water jet treatment, a mixture with the benefits of steam and aromatherapy.
These two advances will make possible, by expanding the range of available services, to make the consumer’s experience even more dynamic, tailored and memorable, representing an integrated solution aimed at creating a feeling of belonging to the customer, through the dynamism of new services and the consequent increase of satisfaction regarding the fulfilment of their needs.
In each treatment room we seamlessly blend clean lines, neutral hues and natural elements to evoke a tranquil ambiance to captivate all senses. The layout ensures privacy and peace, allowing therapists to work efficiently while costumers unwind in comfort. Ample natural light floods the rooms, enhancing the unpretentious ambiance.

3. Sustainability
Nowadays, spas are widely associated with relaxation and rejuvenation, but they also have longstanding links with healing and community. The design scheme to be followed renovates this place where people seek relaxation into a haven where nature´s essence is unmistakable, invinting guests to unwind and connect with the soothing energy of the surroundings.
The project will be able to renovate not only the current spa building (with huge architectural worth), given it greater architectural and functional coherence, but also exploit the magnific surrounding spaces, like the thermal garden, the catchements as well as the thermal museum and its route.
Furthermore the new features (indor and outdoor swimming pools and the jacuzi) will be incorporated into an architectural extension of the building, giving it a inimitable aesthetic configuration.
Simplicity, functionality and immersive multysensory experiences in carefully choreographed spaces transition will be the pillars for the considerable improve in the spa attractiveness we are looking for, offering not just services, but experiences in a harmony markek by the element of water.
Additionally, the current national panorama of tourist offer is characterized by the existence of a surplus of accommodation, which is counterbalanced by a deficit of anchors with regard to tourist facilities, reflecting a tourist seasonality linked, in most cases, with favorable weather conditions.
With this investment project our purpose is to strengthen this offer, making it wider and, at the same time, more transversal to all seasons of the year. So, it is intended to know the customers, identifying what their needs and expectations are, to overcome the lack of an integrated strategy in the provision of these services, allowing the creation of a closer link with the company, through the availability of a wide offer of valences, ranging from the various therapies of thermal waters, the promotion of thermal dermocosmetics and other complementary treatments, in addition to the natural integration of the unique features and products of this territory. Designing exclusive and personalized experiences, with greater or lesser flexibility throughout the year, to promote different experiences for the clients and subsequent longer stays.
It´s implementation will be fundamental, since its impact will be reflected not only in local job creation, in a region markedly characterized by a reduced labor supply, but also among the consortium partners through a knock-on effect, as it will involve sharing the data collected on customer segmentation. This will allow to assemble a specialized global offer, throughout the year, meant not only to fulfill the client’s needs, but also to stimulate the aweareness and interest in a region wider range of products and services, also available to dig up. Hence, the creation of this “tourist equipment” aims to interrupt the paradigm on the use of thermal spas in Portugal, mitigating the associated seasonality and allowing simultaneously, as a consequence, to increase the demand for accommodation and the consumption of other regional tourism products, as routes, the gastronomic part and other recreational and cultural equipment.
