What is the minimum age for kids ?
The hot baths are accessible to children if they have received their compulsory vaccinations, that is to say from 6 months.
The best is to have short baths with breaks to avoid heat excess. You should make your kid drink before, during and after the baths. The same applies for adults. You get very quickly dehydrated.
Should you book for the hot spring baths?
No, it is not necessary. However, during busy times, it is best to show up in the morning, ideally when it opens at 10 a.m. or at lunchtime.
The establishment remains open without interruption from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. throughout the year, and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. during Christmas, Winter and mid-July to late August school holidays.
Can we swim if we are pregnant?
There is no particular contraindication to bathing when you are pregnant, unless otherwise advised by the doctor (for example, circulation disorders, heart or tension problems, etc.).
Do not hesitate to consult your doctor. You have to alternate the hot spring baths and moments out of the water, which is easy to do at Bains de LLO where there are 5 pools that can be gradually discovered. And always drink water regularly.
Please note that the hammam and sauna are to be avoided when you are pregnant or suffering from circulation problems, heart problems or tension.
Can I keep my jewelry while bathing?
Silver reacts with sulfurous water: your jewelry may darken, so avoid wearing it while you bathe. That said, a little baking soda or even toothpaste will be enough to make them shine again.
Gold jewelry are not oxidized by sulfurous water.
However, check the closures of your jewelry because hydromassages and bubble baths are powerful.
Do you need a swimming cap?
Swimming caps are not compulsory. However, long hair must be tied up.
Does the thermal water of the baths smell like sulfur?
Yes, the hot spring water has a characteristic sulfur smell because it is renewed at almost 25% every day: therefore there is always a significant amount of sulfur present in the water.
The Bains de LLO water has a high pH (8.2), most of the sulfur is present under a soluble form, which is an advantage for these waters as they remain rich in sulfur.
They are thus richer in soluble sulfur and less odorous than certain springs which lose their sulfur in a volatile form because of a more acidic pH.
What are the main benefits of LLO Thermal Baths?
Many studies have been carried out and showed the virtues of warm waters and glairines, these microscopic algae present in water and living from the sulfur cycle at miles underground.
Thus, sulfurous waters are traditionally used for joint, rheumatic or muscular pains. Thanks to sulfur in particular, they also have an important role in the dermis and dander, helping to strengthen the hair and skin.
The mineral composition, sulfur, heat of the water, combined with hydrostatic pressure and hydromassages, improve drainage and promote detoxification. Hot baths help to restore balance and stimulate the body and mind.
Do you use chlorine to disinfect the pools?
Yes, we disinfect our pools with Chlorine that we produce In situ at a dosage of 0.6mg/l.
Our source water has naturally a high ph. Therefore we inject ph minus in order to have active chlorine included in the required regulations (0.4 to 1.4 active chlorine).
Can I go to all the pools?
First, you have to shower and use the footbath before accessing the pools.
Start by the outdoor pools, ideally the big pool.
Finish by the indoor pools, then the relax area (that is reserved to people more than 12 years old).

I'm pregnant, can I do all the treatments?
For pregnant women we use neutral essential oils that are well tolerated. However, we do not practice massages beyond 6 months of pregnancy. In this case, it is better to opt for a facial treatment.

Massages or modelling are performed by state-qualified beauticians who practice wellness and non-medical treatments. They are also trained in the active biocosmetics of the Phyts brand. The proposed cures are not reimbursed by social security.
Is it possible to take a bath after a treatment or is it better to keep the benefit of the products?
After a massage, it is good to keep the benefit of essential oils on your skin to nourish it. You can take advantage of a hammam session to promote the penetration of essential oils before swimming or by delaying the shower until the following day.
What are the special features of the hydromassage bath at Les Bains de LLO?
The Bains de Llo whirlpool bath at Spa Nature is an individual bath with sulphurous water without any treatment to which essential oils have been added. Hydromassages are personalized by targeting specific areas of the body.

The « Pass Access » is invoiced for the entire stay at the price of 10€ / adult / night and 9€/ child < 12 years old / night of accommodation.
It is not possible to take it for only a part of your stay. You still have to show up at the reception of the Hot spring Baths to register your entry and therefore it is not a skip-the-line card.
Is cleaning included?
The tenant is responsible for the end of stay cleaning. If at the departure of the tenant, the quality of the cleaning is not sufficient, a certain amount will be taken from the deposit to ensure the required cleanliness.
It is also possible to request the “Cleaning included” option, the price is indicated when booking that option on the website.
Are the bed sheets included?
Sheets and pillowcases can be rented and reserved on the website. This is an option that allows the tenant to choose the formula that best suits him.

Are the Bains de LLO really next to the apartment?
The apartments are right next to the Bains; you just cross a terrace to access the entrance to the Hot sping Baths.
This is one of the significant advantages of these apartments and of the “Access Pass” formula which allows you to take full advantage of the LLO Baths: most tenants access the Baths directly in a bathrobe during their stay and choose the time of the day that suit them.
