Activities
Renowned for its fine red and white wines, Santenay is a great starting point for meeting winegrowers, visiting cellars, and understanding the magic of Burgundy’s climates. Between tastings, you can explore the vineyards on foot or by bike. You’ll discover superb panoramic views of the Dheune Valley and the neighboring hillsides of Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault. The village also has a tradition of thermal baths, a nod to the past when people came here to recharge their batteries.

The surrounding area is just as appealing. A few kilometers away is the Canal du Centre, where you can stroll along the water or take a boat trip. Heritage enthusiasts will be delighted by the nearby castles, Romanesque churches, and charming villages.

Thermalism

Far from a large, impersonal resort, everything here is on a human scale. In Santenay, the spa resort is a haven of well-being surrounded by vineyards, operated by the Valvital group. It is located away from the village center, in a quiet environment surrounded by greenery, which really reinforces the impression of a timeless retreat.

Thermal cures: Santenay water is a mineral water naturally rich in trace elements, historically renowned for its beneficial effects on: – digestive disorders, – the liver and bile ducts, – and certain metabolic problems. It is used as a drink as part of supervised thermal cures, with specific medical programs (prescribed by doctors).

Massage and wellness (aquagym, massages, etc.): the spa offers a series of shorter treatments or wellness stays, combining treatments, relaxation, and discovery of the region.

The spa is an excellent excuse for a long stay (treatment) in a peaceful setting. It is also a place to discover even if you are not undergoing treatment, for its atmosphere and “well-being in the countryside” dimension.
