The elements that contribute to the Tombolo Talasse Resort are Water: including the health center where pampering and pleasure come in waves of pleasure and purification's, Earth; where the pleasures of the perfumes of the earth bring relaxation to our soul, Fire: the warmth of human kindness brings feelings of good will and a need to share our comfort with the whole world, Air; the natural breath of nature flows through guest rooms and wraps visitors in light and beauty. The fifth and most important element is the one that joins all others together, an attentive service staff.
