THE WELLNESS CENTRE “NOTOS” HARMONY AND SERENITY IN THE HEART OF THE MEDITERRANEAN

expression of dynamism, radiant splendour and interior peace. This oasis, set in ten
hectares of green parkland which surrounds the resort. A SPA of 800sm on two levels, in
which shape, colour and fabric inspired by a warm minimalist style, give an immediate
sensation of relaxation and harmony.
HARMONIOUS PATHS LEADING TO WELL-BEING. “Notos” looks after its guests with regenerative
and even personalised treatments which favour a welcoming balance between the body, mind and
spirit. The programmes: relaxation, “remise en forme” and anti-age, form a collection of
beauty and massotherapy treatments that take advantage of the exclusive range of products,
created by the best laboratories in this sector. You can take advantage of the treatments
at the daily spa, for a weekend or on a weekly basis.
THE BEACH AND THE SEA. Caressed by the limpid waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, this is an
authentic paradise for scuba divers thanks to its glorious underwater panorama full of
spectacular chromatisms and multi-coloured species of fish. The Altafiumara private beach
is for guests use only and lies in a small cove protected by the jutting cliffs on either
side, that looks like a natural pool, bathed by the warm Mediterranean sun.
THE “DUE MARI” RESTAURANT. The food prepared at Altafiumara reaches a peak of perfection
that is difficult to find elsewhere. The variety and high quality of the gastronomic dishes
is able to satisfy even the most demanding of customers, and this restaurant is also ideal
