The Deep Ocean Spa by Algotherm is the very first thalasso spa in the world to harness the virtues of sea water from the ocean's depths.

From the centre of the virtual "crab" sketched out by the InterContinental Resort and Thalasso Spa Bora Bora, opposite majestic Mount Otemanu, deep sea water is extracted from the Pacific Ocean at depths of over 3,000 feet (900 meters) - depths hitherto untapped.

Preserved from any external influence for thousands of years, such deep sea water possesses outstanding virtues and constitutes a source of revitalization. It serves as a base for unique sea-water treatments – treatments available nowhere else on the planet.

One of the purest waters in the world is quite simply what the Deep Ocean Spa offers. Sea water
deep down in the ocean has remained untouched by any type of pollution – atmospheric or  maritime – since ancient times. Water from the depths is also particularly rich in active minerals, vitamins and trace elements (calcium, sulphate and sulphur).

Over the centuries, due to volcanic activity in ancient times, a remarkably rich mineral environment has formed in Bora Bora's ocean depths. Remaining at a stable temperature of just 41°F (5°C) all year round, and sheltered from the sun's rays, deep sea water has conserved all its physico-chemical properties and all its nutritive salts – nitrogen and phosphorous in particular.

Deep Ocean Spa treatments include breakthrough signatures such as “Algospa” weightless marine therapy. Depending on the type of seaweed selected, the treatment can be relaxing, remineralizing or slimming. Other notable highlights are Water A la carte treatments ranging from deep sea hydrotherapy to massages from around the world via face and body beauty treatments – the cornerstone of Algotherm's brand image.

The Deep Ocean Spa boasts the latest equipment, including multiple-jet bath tubs and chromatherapy; the latest wrap beds for total relaxation in a cocoon of warm water; showers that send a play of scents, sounds and sensations cascading over the body; an "Aromasteam" steam bath combining sensations and scents and not forgetting extremely comfortable massage tables and glass-floored bungalows for total relaxation over a natural aquarium.
