Everybody in the pool – Balaruc-les-Bains's thermal baths
Decisions, decisions – sandy beach or thermal spa? Why not both? While you'll find plenty of scenic waterfront on the Etang de Thau lagoon, visitors willing to make the short drive to nearby Sete will be rewarded with miles of broad, sandy beach along the Mediterranean Sea. After a long morning of swimming and sunbathing, you can refresh yourself in one of Balaruc-les-Bains's many thermal spas. The O'Balia Thermal Spa is always a hit, where you can choose from a number of indoor and outdoor pools, plus saunas, massages, and beauty treatments.
Wave hello to waterfront Balaruc-les-Bains
Beside a lagoon in the Occitanie region of France, Balaruc-les-Bains is a moderately dense suburb of the more urban Montpelier. The city lies in a relatively flat area along France's southeastern coast, and there are a number of rocky mountain peaks in the ranges to the north. The nearby Etang de Thau lagoon is separated from the Mediterranean Sea by a thin strip of land, and you can find plenty of broad, sandy beaches throughout the region. Balaruc-les-Bains vacation rentals are surrounded by an ecosystem that supports a variety of wildlife species, including herons, flamingos, and oysters, as well numerous types of fish.
