Wellness
Salinarelax “Pedra
de Lume” |
|
|
|
In the coming years the largest
and most fascinating wellness oasis of Africa
will be built in Pedra de Lume, in the east of
the island of Sal, under the open sky in a crater
bed of an extinct volcano.
The crater bed, which has
a diameter of approx. 1 km, is below sea-level.
On account of the porous rock which makes up the
crater ground and the volcanic caldera, seawater
penetrates the rock and floods the crater bed.
The evaporated water leaves behind a thick layer
of salt, which is removed and processed on location
to table salt. Almost the entire area of the crater
bed is covered with a seawater basin which is
knee-deep and has a salt content 25 times higher
than that of the Atlantic Ocean. Initial therapy
is already being applied here by qualified staff.
In the near future the natural Wellness Oasis
is to become one of the most magnificent natural
parks in the Atlantic. As of 2010 the park will
be complemented by the first golf course on the
island of Sal with a charming Golf Resort Hotel,
a marina with 80 berths, and an expansive, top
quality residence park designed in a holiday village
style (refer to: www.pedradelume.com) |
